72 DISTEIBUTION OF GLOSSINA FUSCA. 



noticeably incrassate as is the anterior extremity of the same 

 transverse vein in the wing of G. hrevipalpis, Newst. ; posterior 

 transverse vein and portion of fourth longitudinal vein immedi- 

 ately beyond it sometimes slightly infuscated. Squamae semi- 

 hyaline, fringe long, yellowish. Halteres cream-butf. 



Since the type of the present species is damaged, and of 

 unknown provenance, the re-description printed above has been 

 prepared from a ^ from Masaku, Ronietta District, Sierra Leone 

 Protectorate, 16. ix. 1909 {Dr. J. J. Moore, W.A.M.S.), and a ? 

 from Boje, Liberia, 21. v. 1909 (Major A. Pearse, B.A.M.C.). 



Distribution of G.fusca, Walk. 



The specimens available for examination show that the range 

 of the true G. fiisca, Walk., as described above, extends at any 

 rate from the Sierra Leone to the Uganda Protectorates, although 

 no examples of the species have as yet been received at the 

 British Museum (Natural History) from French Guinea, the 

 French Ivory Coast, Togoland, Dahomey, Cameroon, French 

 Congo, or the Congo Free State. There is at present no 

 evidence that the species occurs in the East Africa Protectorate, 

 German East Africa, the Nyasaland Protectorate, Portuguese 

 East Africa, or Rhodesia.
