0. moubata 47 



in Tete (misspelt " bu " in Manson, 1903, p. 714).— carrapato 1 in Portuguese East 

 Africa (a loose term), Livingstone (1857, p. 382) spelt it carapato, often misspelt 

 garrapato. Wellman (in MS.) states that karapatti and garapata are Arabic and 

 Bantu corruptions of the Portuguese word. — tapazi at Nyangwe, Lualaba river, 

 Livingstone (1874, n, p. 115). — bifundikala about Leopoldville Congo (Dutton 

 and Todd, 1905 b). — bimpmi is the BaWke' name (Dutton and Todd, 1905 b). — 

 mouyata at Popokabaka (Dutton and Todd, 1905 b). — moubata in Angola 

 (Murray, 1877, p. 182). According to Wellman (in MS.) Dibata (singular) and 

 Mabata (plural) is the Kimbundu name for the tick, so that the name moubata 

 given by Welwitsch as the native name and adopted by Murray is incorrect, a 

 rarer Kimbundu name is Mbanze. — ochihopio (pi. ovihopio), native Umbundu 

 name in Angola, W. Africa (Wellman, 1906, p. 154). — livmno* is the Lovale 

 name in E. Angola and N. W. Rhodesia (Wellman, 1908, personal communica- 

 tion). — kimputo, common name in Eastern Congo Free State (Dutton and Todd, 

 1905 b).

Lit.: 1857. Livingstone, pp. 382, 628.— 1874. Livingstone, Vol. n, pp. 33, 115.— 

 1877. Murray, p. 182, gave a quite useless description. The species was 

 established by Pocock, 1900, who examined the types (Brit. Mus. collected by 

 Welwitsch in Angola).- 1882. Cobbold, p. 78. O.— 1895. Dowson, p. 1201, 

 sent specimens from Tete to British Museum ; describes effect of bite, fever, 

 etc. — 1896. Neumann, p. 30. — 1900. Pocock, p. 222, first described some of 

 the specific differences between moubata and savignyi. — 1901. Neumann, 

 p. 256.— Brumpt, p. 578.— 1903. Christy, p. 187.— Manson, p. 713.— Pocock, 

 p. 188, determined specimens collected by Christy in Uganda, and states that 

 Dowson had also sent specimens of 0. moubata from Tete, Zambesi. — 1905. 

 Caiman, p. 124, determined specimens sent by Wellman from Angola. — Dutton 

 and Todd (b), pp. 123-127. — Feldmann, p. 64, Filaria perstans, supposed host 

 being 0. moubata. Author states it is an Argas, and it might be from his figure. 

 His description appears to apply partly to moubata and partly to one of the 

 Ixodidae. — Kerr, p. 126, criticism of Feldmann's observations. — Newstead, 

 pp. 1696, 1697.— Wellman, repr.— 1906. Donitz, pp. 145, 148.— Werner, p. 776.
