Abstract
Three new anthracine species of Bombyliidae are described. Two of these species (Anthrax galali El-Hawagry, sp. nov. and Anthrax zohrayensis El-Hawagry, sp. nov.) were proposed by Efflatoun Bey in his unpublished manuscript in the genus Anthrax Scopoli (sensu lato). These species names are maintained but the descriptions are shortened and revised. A third species, not included in Efflatoun unpublished manuscript, Spogostylum hamadnallahi El-Hawagry, sp. nov., is herein described and illustrated.References
