It is related to analis F. and fulvonotatus Wied., from both of which it differs, apart from the differences in wing-venation already mentioned, in not having the eyes contiguous above and in having the black basal infuscation on the wings more extensive and not sharply demarcated along bases of second basal and anal cells. From analis it differs in having fulvous spots on the abdomen and no white tuft of hair at apex; the front femora have short spines, etc. F'rom fulvonotatus it differs in being smaller, in having fulvous spots laterally on abdomen below, a fulvous spot at base of wing comb, etc. B. hypoxanthus Lw. (P. 12, Wien. Ent. Monat., vii, 1863; syn. = plagiatus Bezz., p. 469, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., vol. xviii, 1921.) From Bezzi's description of the $ of plagiatus it is evident that he had the same species as that of Loew before him, and there is no doubt.
