INDEX-CATALOGUE OF THE SPECIES-GROUP NAMES OF SIMULIIDAE 

 FROM THE ETHIOPIAN AND MALAGASY REGIONS 



The catalogue given below provides a complete alphabetical index to the species- 

 group names of all Simuliidae occurring in the Ethiopian Region (including St. 

 Helena) and in the Malagasy Region (including Seychelles). The list includes the 

 names annulipes and beckeri, which although based on types from outside these 

 regions (viz. from Canary Islands and Algeria respectively) are given because they 

 are synonyms of ruficorne, the only Ethiopian species that occurs in the Palaearctic 

 Region. 



Each species-group name is cited in the original spelling and is accompanied by 

 the following information : bibliographic reference ; genus of original assignment 

 in parentheses ; status, sex or developmental stage of primary type(s) ; type- 

 locality ; type-depository ; special nomenclatural information where pertinent. 

 Nomenclaturally available names are shown in the index in bold type, and pre- 

 occupied homonyms and other unavailable names in italic non-bold. 



Type-locality information is restricted to the modern name of the country in 

 which the exact locality occurs, or to the island or island group when appropriate ; 

 for South Africa the name of the Province is given additionally. The former Belgian 

 Congo and French Congo are cited as Democratic Republic of Congo and as Republic 

 of Congo respectively (in accordance with the usage of the Statesmen's Y 'ear-Book 

 ig6y-ig68).
