 broad, the third subquadrate, the rest transverse; apical joint slightly 

 longer than broad; face almost up to ocelli, cheeks and rear of head 

 almost to upper end of eye flavo-testaceous; segment one of abdomen 

 at sides showing short striae, second segment slightly broader than

Types and paratypes in the British Museum (Natural History). 



Paratype — Cat. No. 13688, U.S.N.M. 



Described from two females and six males reared by Mr. H. II. 

 King, July 14, 1909, and sent by the Entomological Research Commit- 

 tee (Tropical Africa) for the British Government. 



The female of this species is easily separated from that of T. tabani 

 Mayr by the lack of striae at the base of the first abdominal segment ; 

 in tabani the head and thorax together are as long as the abdomen.

Female. — Length about 0.75 mm. Black; antennae and legs, includ- 

 ing coxae, brown; the knees, bases, and apices of tibiae and the tarsi

 two of funicle slightly longer than broad, the following joints sub- 

 quadrate; club four jointed, not very much enlarged; head twice as 

 broad as long; head smooth, ocellar triangle with a few scattered, 

 very minute, punctures; mesoscutum polished and with sparse punc- 

 tures, each puncture bearing a silky white hair; scutellum with 

 similar still sparser punctures, the apical portion smooth; inflexed 

 sides of pronotum along lower margin reticulated ; mesopleurae 

 mostly smooth; abdomen as long as the head and thorax together; 

 first segment of abdomen striate for almost half its length; second 

 segment striate at base; medially a few indistinctly carried beyond 

 the others; striae somewhat longer than those on first segment; seg- 

 ment two subquadrate, very slightly longer than greatest width 

 (as 7:6).
