Having received from the Imperial Bureau of Entomology more material of the family LONCHAEIDAE, I am in a position to give the following additional notes to my previous paper* on the Ethiopian species.
* This Bulletin ix, 3, March 1919, pp. 241–254, figs. 1–4.
* The Lonchea consentanea, Walker 1860, from Macassar and Gilolo, of which the author says nothing about the colour of tarsi, is described as having white halteres, and thus cannot be a member of this genus.
* The species Lonchaea punctipennis, Walker 1860, from Macassar, and Lonchaea inops, Walker 1859, from Aru, Mysol and Ceram, evidently do not belong to the present genus.
† Walker, who described only the female, says nothing about the colour of the squamulae, which are assumed here to be blackish (according to the colour of the wings), at least in the male sex.
* Of cyaneonitens and bisulcata only the females are known; the males are here assumed to have a simple abdomen.
