98 GLOSSINA FUSCA.— LOCALITIES. 



ments, however, is in accordance with fact. An examination of 

 well-preserved specimens of GL fusca shows that greater ocellar 

 bristles ar6 present in this as in all other species oi Glossina ; 

 while a specimen from" Witu Forest in the British Museum 

 Collection, which has died and been pinned in the resting posi- 

 tion, has its wings closed fl^t over one another just like the 

 blades of a pair of scissors. Moreover, having also examined 

 specimens of Glossina longipenms, Corti, palpalis, Rob.-Desv., and 

 2KilUdipes, Austen, all pimied in the resting attitude, and having 

 had the opportunity of observing Gl. palpalis when alive, I have 

 no hesitation in confirming the statement, as to the resting posi- 

 tion of the wings in Glosnina, in the diagnosis of the g-enus at the 

 commencement of the present Chapter. 



Distribution of Gl. /(tsca,, Walk. 



Of this species I have been able to examine a series of 22 

 examples {^ $ $ and 14 ? 9 ), from various localities, as 

 follows : — 



1 $ , the type of the species, locality unknown ; 1 9 > tl^e 

 type of Glossina tahaniformis, Westw., Gold Coast* [O.] ; 1 ^, 

 299, Gold Coast (received from the Tsetse-fly Committee of 

 the Royal Society, per Lt.-Col. Bruce); 1 ^, 1 '^ , Togo 

 (Dr. ScMUing) [Royal Zoological Museum, Berlin] ; 1 ^, the 

 type of Glossina grossa, Big., Assinie, Ivory Coast [Oh. Atluaud) 

 [V.]; 1 9, Asaba, R. Niger {Br. W. H. Crosse) ; 1 $', 

 " country south of Mashonaland " {Mr. Iloohe : presented by the 

 lat^e J. C. Mansel-Pleydell) ; 1 $ , Zambesi {Dr. (afterwards Sir) 

 John KirJc) ; 2 (J <J (including the specimen described in the 

 above re-description), Kaporo, 1670 ft., near Sorigwi River, north- 

 west of Lake Nyasa, 28. ii. 1895, "taken on the path at night" 

 {B. Crawshgy) ; I ^,, same locality, 25. ii. 1895 {B. Crawshay) [C] ; 

 1 9 , Kilima Njaro {F. J. Jackson) ; 1 ? , Upper Sabaki Ri^er, 

 British East Africa (presented by the late British East Africa 

 Company) ; 1 ? , Uganda Railway, British East Africa, 1 Kiboko 



* Westwood [10] writes : "iJa6. apnd littus aureum Africse tropicalis 

 occidentalis (Mus. D. Hope)." The specimen itself bears on the label 

 '•■Raddon, Africa," which probably means that it was at one time in the 

 collection of W. Raddon, an English entomologist of the earlier part of 

 ■last century, well known for his discovery of the caterpillars of the Spurge 

 ^awk-Moth in numbers in North Devon in the year 1814 : cf. W. Eaddou,
