03B39D2FF04B9D48FE18FF29D9E046D5.taxon	description	A detailed generic description was provided by Hull (1962: 345 - 347), based on the type species. The following notes, based on all the species, supplement Hull’s description. A. leucothrix is in many respects atypical, and may in time be shown to warrant another generic placement. Head: Setation of antennal scape and pedicel more variable than described by Hull; shape of postpedicel (= third ‘ segment’ of flagellomere) rather different in A. macroceros; style (= microsegment) with single pit - enclosed spine terminally; face not always uniformly pruinose (= pollinose); facial setation sometimes both intra - and interspecifically variable, especially in colour, and more extensive than suggested. No mention is made that some species have shiny, dorsoventrally flattened, scale - like setae associated with the mystax (arachnoides, unicolor). Thorax: Mesonotal pruinescence sometimes largely absent and setae better developed (leucothrix); postpronotal lobe (= humerus) only rarely lacking stout macrosetae; lateral mesonotal macrosetae somewhat variable in number and more than 2 notopleurals, supra - anals and postalars sometimes present (especially in fascipennis); scutellum not always without marginal setae, which may be well developed in leucothrix and weakly developed in unicolor; scutellar disc setae may be quite well developed (leucothrix); pleura sometimes ventrally apruinose (leucothrix); katatergal (= metapleural) macrosetae variable in number. Legs: Setal number and development variable. Wings: The characteristic alignment of veins (Fig. 8) (considered a good synapomorphy supporting monophyly within the genus, see couplet 1 of key) is not present in two species (fascipennis, leucothrix). Abdomen: Terga 2 - 6 with variable number of macrosetae (0 - 3); epandrium does not ‘ merge laterally with the gonopod’, but is separate (as shown in figures).	en	Londt, J. G. H.

I. - 5. I. 1922, Dr Brauns. Engel (1924) did not indicate the type status of each specimen. If these are syntypes it will be necessary to designate lectotypes for both fascipennis and semirufus. I have seen many specimens from both Willowmore and Deleray collected by Brauns. A. maculipennis - 1 ♂ 1 ♀ syntypes (maculipennis), Zimbabwe, Saw Mills (and other material from same locality) apparently in the National Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo. I have seen other material from this locality. A. fascipennis: Examination of the full series of specimens at my disposal supports acceptance of the synonymy of semirufus Engel and maculipennis Ricardo as suggested by Oldroyd (1974). Although I have not seen Ricardo’s syntypes of maculipennis, I here designate the male as lectotype and the female as paralectotype.	en	Londt, J. G. H. (2000): Afrotropical Asilidae (Diptera) 32.

03B39D2FF0479D42FF58FC4BD98E4127.taxon	discussion	Material not seen: Oldroyd’s type of A. rigidis (BMNH) from Zimbabwe (Sawmills), 31 xii 1921, was posted to me, but never arrived. The postal services subsequently returned the package to BMNH and to avoid further delay John Chainey kindly undertook comparisons for me, supporting my decision to synonymise the species with fasciatus. Oldroyd probably did not know fasciatus as none of the many specimens housed in NMSA, all sent to him for study, was identified by him as fasciatus. Oldroyd recorded fasciatus from Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), but I have not seen the material. A. fasciatus: Hermann did not designate a holotype, so all his specimens must be considered cotypes or syntypes. I hereby designate the male in ZSMC as lectotype and the female in the same collection as paralectotype. He listed 2 ♂ 2 ♀ from Lichtenburg and 1 ♂ ‘ aus der Kalahari’. The ZSMC has one pair from Lichtenburg. While investigating the holdings of other European museums I noted that two other collections may have syntypes from Hermann’s series, i. e. Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna, and Zoologisches Museum, Berlin. This material is not included here. The only specimen in NMSA identified as fasciatus prior to this study (labelled by Engel) is a female arachnoides. This is curious as Engel had access to the types of fasciatus.	en	Londt, J. G. H.
