The following paper is based upon material received by the British Museum (Natural History) since the publication of the author’s “Further Notes on the Tabanidae of Palestine”* All the specimens referred to, including the types of the two new species described in the following pages, have been presented to the National Collection by the Imperial Bureau of Entomology. With the exception of the type of the new Tabanus (see p. 428) and a few other specimens, all taken by Mr. O. Theodor, the entire series has been collected by Dr. P. A. Buxton, to whose contribution in the last number of this Bulletin† the reader is referred for important field-notes.
