are shown correctly by Ferris (1930, Philippine Jl. Sci., 
XLIII, p. 540, fig. 1 $ , and p. 543, fig. 4a $ ) . 
The claspers (or parameres) of the male genitalia are 
slender, rod-like and regularly pointed at apex. They are 
figured in side view by J. I. Roberts (1927, Ann. Trop. Med. 
Paras., XXI, PL III, fig. 8) ; seen from above they are much 
narrower. 
2. Hippobosca longipennis Fabricius, 1805. — A study 
of Fabricius’ two types, marked “ex Tranquebar (Mus. 
Dom. Lund)”, at the University Zoological Museum, Copen- 
hagen, shows that they are the species commonly known as 
H. capensis v. Olfers (1816), H. francilloni Leach (1817), 
or H. canina Rondani (1878) . Why Fabricius wrote “Caput 
et thorax ferruginea immaculata” is a mystery, as both his 
types show the characteristic capensis pattern. A specimen 
from Kalewa, Upper Burma, named “longipennis” by Major 
Austen, was studied at the British Museum and showed no 
structural characters differentiating it from the usual H. 
capensis. Fabricius’ name antedates all other designations 
for the species, which is extremely variable in color. I have 
also seen, at the British Museum, a specimen of H. fran- 
cilloni , apparently labelled by Leach and which may be the 
type, although it is not marked as such.
