Aussereurop. Zweifl. Ins., II, p. 603) based the more detailed 
and fully recognizable description of his Hippobosca varie- 
gata in part upon Megerle’s specimen. 
I have seen, at the University Zoological Museum in 
Copenhagen, the fly from Tranquebar mentioned by Fabri- 
cius (1805, Syst. Antliat., p. 338) as a variety of H. equina. 
It is H. variegata and may well have been the specimen 
which Wiedemann mentioned from Tranquebar. I have 
also seen Leach’s type of H. maculata at the British Museum. 
According to the label it came from Bengal.
