off horse (F. C. Kraneveld). 
The preapical bristles of the scutellum are pale-colored 
and unevenly developed, usually placed on two irregular 
rows, the two lateral groups more or less connected in the 
middle. Counting only the heavy bristles and neglecting 
the small, hair-like ones, their number varies from 13 to 27 
in 95 specimens examined (49 2 and 46 $ ), from 12 locali- 
ties, 68 specimens having from 16 to 20 bristles. The speci- 
mens show the following grouping: with 13 bristles: 2 (all 
$ ) ; 14b. : 1 ( 2 );15b.:5 (22,3 4); 16b.: 7 (62,1*); 
17b.: 15 (7 2 , 8 $ ) ; 18b.: 15 (4 2 , 11 * ) ; 19b.: 22(13 
2,93); 20b.: 9 (6 2 , 3 3 ) ; 21b.: 7 (4 2 , 3 3 ) ; 22b.: 
2(12,13); 23b.: 3 (2 2 ,1 5 ) ; 24b.: 4 (1 2 ,3 3 ) ; 
25b. : 2 (all $ ) ; 27b. : 1 ( 3 ) . There is seemingly no sex- 
ual difference in this character. In one lot of 30 specimens 
(10 2 ,20 3 ) from Aden, off cattle, the bristles vary from 
13 to 22, but 25 specimens have from 16 to 20 bristles. The 
bristles are evenly divided between both sides in 37 speci- 
mens, unevenly in 58, the uneven groupings observed being 
6 + 7, 6 + 8, 7 -f 8, 8 + 9, 9 + 10, 10 -f 11, 11 + 12, 
12 + 13, and 13 + 14. 
In H. variegata, the dorsum of the abdomen bears no 
median tergal sclerotized plates in either sex. In the female, 
the anterior pair of subapical (lateral) plates is somewhat 
larger than the posterior pair. In the male, the anterior 
pair is very large, so that the two plates nearly touch medi- 
ally ; the posterior pair is very small and hidden in a dorsal 
view. The abdomen of the female is shown correctly by 
Ferris (1930, Philippine Jl. Sci., XLIII, p. 545, fig. 5). 
There is no good figure of the male. 
The claspers (or parameres) of the male genitalia are 
straight and rod-like, rather abruptly narrowed about mid- 
length and then very slender to the pointed tip.
