Extract

The present paper deals with material examined since the revision of the family (Theodor, 1967) was sent to the press. Material was sent by Mr F. R. Allison from Ghana, by Dr D. Minter, Mr T, S Jones and Mr J. C. Cunningham from East Africa and by Dr F. Zumpt from South Africa and other localities in Africa. The material collected by the Noona Dan Expedition to the Bismarck Archipelago and the Philippines (1961, 1962) was examined. The collection of Nycteribiidae in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Genoa was examined and several new species were found among the material. The types of Stylidia euxesta Speiser in the collection proved different from the species considered as 8. euxesta in the past and to consist of two species. The types of S. euxesta are redescribed.
