reference to the affinity between H. torquens and H. cordigera, the 

 author wrote as follows at the end of the original description of 

 the former : — " These two species present a strong similarity to 

 each other in certain details, such as the shape of the frontal callus 

 and antennae, but H. torquens is distinguished, inter alia, by the 

 disc of the scutellum being brown, like the remainder of the dorsum 

 of the thorax, instead of smoke-grey, by the deeper yellow colour 

 of the hair clothing the dorsum of the thorax, the paler femora, the 

 first joint of the hind tarsi being cream-buff except the distal third, 

 instead of entirely brown, as well as by certain differences in the 

 wing-markings . " *

As yet this species has been received only from Uganda, whence 

 the Museum possesses the type and seven other females, without 

 precise locality, collected in 1903 [Colonel Sir David Bruce, G.B., 

 R.A.M.C, F.R.8.), and two females from the south shore of Lake 

 Albert, collected in 1904 (Captain E. D. W. Greig, I. M.S.). The 

 somewhat peculiar character of the wing-markings, in which, as is 

 shown in the figure, the rosettes are clearly defined and usually 

 have pale buff -coloured centres, render Hcematopota ugandce easy 

 to recognise.
