R. NEWSTEAD — ON GLOSSINA AUSTENI, &C. 



claspers ; it is long and narrow, though strongly dilated basally, the distal 

 portion reaching to the upper margin of the harpes. Vesica (v) almost entirely 

 membranous and without any marked subcutaneous sclerites. Inferior claspers 

 (ic) small, rounded apically and relatively very narrow ; they are widely 

 separated from the median process and consequently placed much nearer the 

 articulation of the hypopygium than in the other species of Glossina.

Unfortunately the editum is so much obscured by the folded nature of the 

 integument which surrounds it that it has not been possible to give an illustration 

 of it in the figure given in the text ; but so far as one can judge it does not 

 differ from those of the other allied species. It is important to add also that the 

 left spinose harpe was displaced during the process of mounting and is not 

 therefore shown in the illustration. Normally these appendages lie exactly in 

 opposition, and as they occupy different planes the elimination of one of them is 

 not likely to mislead future investigators. 



[In addition to the specimens of Glossina austeni recorded by Mr. S. A. Neave 

 in the last part of this Bulletin (p. 306), the Entomological Research Committee 

 has since received further examples taken on Juba River, ix. and x. 1911 (Dr. 

 C. L. Chevallier\ and 2 tf tf and 1 Q from so far south as Portuguese East 

 Africa (H. L. Jones). — Ed.]
