Distribution of G. longipennis, Corti. 



Glossina Jongipennis is an East African species, the range of 

 which is apparently somewhat restricted, since up to the present 

 time this Tsetse-lly has been recorded only from Somaliland and 

 the East Africa Protectorate. Since, however, it is found on 

 the line of the Uganda Railway, it is possible that its area also 

 extends into German East Africa, while to the north it perhaps 

 occurs, as Dr. Andrew Balfour has pointed out,* in Southern 

 Abyssinia. Towards its southern boundary the range of 

 G. Joagipennis overlaps that of G. hrevipaljjis, Newst. Whether 

 G. Jongipennis in places where it occurs is found only in small 

 numbers the author is unable to say ; in any case, very few 

 specimens of it have so far reached the British Museum (Natural 

 History). The following are the particulars with reference to 

 the nine specimens of this species at present contained in the 

 National Collection.
