Haematopota pallidipennis, Austen. 

 Animls ayid Magazine of Natural History, Ser. 8, V'^ol. I., j). 402 ( 1 908). 



Plate XI., fig. 86. 



The following are the localities, etc., of the nine females of this 

 species in the National Collection, all of which are from Northern 

 Nigeria.— Zaria, 1904 {Captain F. U. Carr, A.V.D.) ; R. Niger 

 above Bajibo, Nupe Province, November 12th, 1906, " biting native 

 paddler in canoe " {Major C. B. Simonds, R.G.A.) ; Kontagora, 

 1907 (J. Brand). 



In general appearance Hceinatopota pallidipennis, Austen, 

 presents some resemblance to H. brunnescens, Ricardo, which 

 is found in Uganda and the Nyasaland Protectorate. From the 

 shape of its antennae, however, the latter species would appear 

 to belong to the genus Parhcematopota, Griinb., and as regards other 

 characters H. pallidipennis can at once be distinguished by the 

 colour of the frontal callus (clove-brown instead of cinnamon), the 

 much greyer hue of the body, the coarser wing-markings, and the 

 milky border to the extreme tip of the wings.
