Tarsi long, tapering fairly gradually ; tarsus 1 nearly as long as articles

Neumann (1899, p. 139, and 1901, p. 285) records specimens from the 

 Congo (from Hyrax sp., g % in copula, Mocquerys coll., now in Neumann 

 coll.) ; from the Cameroons (Zenker and Conradt coll.) ; from German 

 East Africa (Kummer and Conradt coll.), one specimen having been 

 taken from an Ichneumon ; and from Togo (Berlin Mus.).

We have received examples (N. 877 d) from Uganda, taken from 

 cattle, which came from Bukedi to Mpumu ix. 1909 (Sir D. Bruce) ; 

 from (N. 503) Obuasi, S. Ashanti, from leopard, and (N. 928) from 

 Kumasi, C. Ashanti, from man and dog (Dr W. M. Graham, 1907-8). 



Our description differs from that of Neumann.
