﻿THE 
  TABANIDAE 
  OF 
  SOUTHERN 
  NY 
  AS 
  ALAND.

  Haematopota 
  pertinens, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  occur 
  quite 
  near 
  Mt. 
  Mlanje, 
  the 
  country 
  being 
  too 
  heavily- 
  

   forested. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon 
  in 
  the 
  more 
  open 
  country 
  towards 
  the 
  Ruo 
  River, 
  

   and 
  in 
  January 
  1914, 
  I 
  found 
  it 
  abundant 
  to 
  the 
  south-west 
  of 
  Lake 
  Chilwa 
  (or 
  

   Shirwa), 
  where 
  I 
  took 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  the 
  hitherto 
  unknown 
  males. 
  

  

  Haematopota 
  furtiva, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  Nine 
  females 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  were 
  captured 
  near 
  the 
  south-western 
  shores 
  of 
  Lake 
  

   Chilwa 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  January 
  1914. 
  

  

  Haematopota 
  nociva, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  A 
  few 
  individuals 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  were 
  taken 
  at 
  Mlanje 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  December 
  and 
  

   the 
  beginning 
  of 
  January. 
  

  

  Haematopota 
  abyssinica, 
  Sure. 
  

  

  A 
  few 
  examples 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  were 
  taken 
  near 
  Mt. 
  Mlanje 
  in 
  November 
  and 
  

   December, 
  but 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  common. 
  

  

  Haematopota 
  ingluviosa, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  This 
  recently 
  described 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  some 
  considerable 
  numbers 
  near 
  

   Mt. 
  Mlanje 
  and 
  a 
  good 
  series, 
  including 
  many 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  hitherto 
  unknown 
  male, 
  

   was 
  obtained. 
  

  

  Haematopota 
  insatiabilis, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  An 
  abundant 
  species 
  near 
  Mt. 
  Mlanje 
  about 
  November 
  and 
  early 
  December, 
  

   being 
  replaced 
  in 
  that 
  month 
  and 
  during 
  January 
  by 
  another, 
  apparently 
  new, 
  species, 
  

   which 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  it. 
  A 
  few 
  larvae 
  of 
  H 
  . 
  insatiabilis 
  were 
  obtained, 
  and 
  from 
  

   some 
  of 
  these 
  three 
  females 
  were 
  bred 
  between 
  the 
  7th 
  and 
  10th 
  of 
  November 
  1913.

  What 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  larva 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  figured 
  on 
  Plate 
  xxvii, 
  fig.

  The 
  

   pupal 
  aster 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  remarkable, 
  the 
  upper 
  hooks 
  being 
  reduced 
  to 
  mere 
  

   knobs, 
  while 
  the 
  middle 
  pair 
  are 
  enormously 
  enlarged. 
  A 
  well-marked 
  dorso-lateral 
  

   comb 
  is 
  present.

  whole 
  pupa

  Haematopota 
  mactans, 
  Aust. 
  

  

  Though 
  widely 
  distributed 
  and 
  occurring 
  throughout 
  the 
  wet 
  season, 
  this 
  was 
  

   never 
  a 
  very 
  abundant 
  species, 
  especially 
  at 
  Mlanje. 
  It 
  was 
  less 
  uncommon 
  over 
  the 
  

   Portuguese 
  border 
  to 
  the 
  south.
