﻿INSECTS OF EASTERN TROPICAL AFRICA. 289 



Haematopota pertinens, Aust. 



A fairly common Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesian species, which occurs 

 principally in short-grass woodland country. 



Haematopota copemani, Aust. 



This species is common in open short-grass country in the Serenje district of 

 Northern Rhodesia, in December. 



Haematopota masseyi, Aust. 



Represented by a single female taken on the Mchinga escarpment, near 

 Mirongo, Upper Luangwa Valley, Northern Rhodesia, in April 1908. 



Haematopota taciturna, Aust. 



Of this northern species I captured two females at Petauke in the Luangwa 

 Valley, Northern Rhodesia, in January 1908. The only other localities from 

 which it has been recorded are Abyssinia and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. 



Haematopota fusca, Aust. 



This is a common and widely distributed forest species in Uganda, though I 

 never met with it in very large numbers in any one spot. It also occurs in the 

 forests of the northern portion of the Nyanza Province of British East Africa. 

 Only a single male was captured. 



Haematopota abyssinica, Sure. 



This fly was taken in some numbers in German East Africa, in December, 

 near Iringa and between Iringa and Kilossa. I also captured a single female in 

 British East Africa, near Simba. 



Haematopota tenuis, Aust. 



This small species seems to occur sparingly in the open country of Northern 

 Kavirondo, British East Africa, and of Northern Uganda. There are only two 

 females in my collection, one taken near Mumias, in June, and the other near the 

 north-east shore of Lake Kioga, in August. 



Haematopota nociva, Aust. 



A few individuals of this species were taken on the Upper Shire and near the 

 southern shores of Lake Nyasa in February 1910. 



Haematopota insidiatrix, Aust. 



A small series of this insect was taken on the Upper Shire and on the 

 southern shores of Lake Nyasa in February 1910, and a single Q in the lower 

 Luangwa Valley in January 1905. 



Haematopota noxialis, Aust. 



This species is represented by a single specimen from the Upper Shire River, 

 Nyasaland, taken in February, and by a large series, including a few males, from 

 North and South Kavirondo, British East Africa. It seems to frequent mostly 

 rather open country.
