WEST AFRICA ; FRENCH WEST AFRICA: Although reported as A, 

 vespertilionis by Marchoux and Couvy (1912A,B,1913A,B), there~is 

 some likelihood that some or all of these specimens may have been 

 those subsequently used as the types of A. boueti, Rousselot

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA: South African adults described and 

 illustrated by Nuttall et al (1908) as A. vespertilionis represent 

 A. confusus. Howard (l^^ DSnitz (19TOB;, Bedford U932B,193A), 

 also confused these two species as probably also did Cooley (l93A-)j 

 cf . Hoogstraal (1955B, p. 586) for details. Dr. G. Theiler has 

 sent a female and nymph of A. vespertilionis from Pretoria eind 

 Grahamstown, These were among larger numbers of A. confusus and 

 A. boueti . No specimens of A. vespertilionis were included with 

 material of A. confusus and T., boueti from collections of the 

 South African Institute for Medical Research, recently sent for 

 identification by Dr. F, Zumpt. These observations lead one to 

 suspect that A. vespertilionis may be less comnon in South Africa 

 than A. confusus. 



OTHER AREAS ; Available material referable to this group is 

 from England, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Korea, China, 

 Philippines, and Ceylon, The group is also known to occur in 

 southern India, Cambodia, Australia, France, Italy, and Russia, 

 Differences between African and European specimens and those from 

 Australia and Asian areas are very slight indeed.
