ERNEST E. AUSTEN — NEW AFRICAN 



December 1912, p. 414, fig. 4), the latter of which also occurs in German East 

 Africa and in the same locality as the species just described. Apart from all 

 other points of difference, however, Haematopota maculosifacies can at once be 

 distinguished from the two species mentioned owing to the slender and elongate 

 shape of its antennae. 



Haematopota ingluviosa, sp. n. (fig. 4). 



Q. — Length (12 specimens) 9*6 to 12 mm. ; width of head 3 to 4 mm. ; width 

 of front at vertex 0*8 to just over 1 mm. ; length of wing 8 to 9*6 mm. 



Medium-sized to fairly large, dark sepia-coloured, dark brown or mummy -brown, 

 bulky-bodied species, with short antennae, a pair of sharply defined and conspicuous 

 grey spots on dorsal surface of each abdominal segment, as shown in fig. 4, and palish 

 wings in which the stigma is usually conspicuous.

Head : front narrow and of nearly uniform width, mouse-grey or brownish (a 

 small area on each side of vertex and a narrow ring surrounding each lateral 

 frontal spot yellowish-grey or light grey) ; usual darker patch on vertex, divided 

 in middle line by a narrow grey stripe running to median frontal spot, sometimes 

 distinguishable ; median frontal spot present but often inconspicuous, lateral frontal 

 spots in contact with eyes; front on each side immediately above callus and on vertical 

 angles clothed with minute yellowish hairs, elsewhere clothed witli minute dark 

 brown hairs ; frontal callus raw-umber-coloured, often darker in centre, moderately 

 deep from above downwards, extending from eye to eye, its lower edge straight, its 

 upper angles rounded off, and its upper margin sometimes rising to an angle in 

 middle line ; a small, clove-brown, partially bifid, median spot below frontal callus 

 (with lower edge of which it is in contact,) and above bases of antennae ; face,
