Hippobosca cunicosa “Madarasz,” Thalhammer, 1899, 
“Fauna Regni Hungarici, Diptera,” p. 69 (without 
description) . 
Hippobosca longipennis Fabricius, 1805, “Syst. Antliat.,” 
p. 338 (no sex given, Tranquebar), is probably also H. 
capensis v. Olfers. The very brief description is as fol- 
lows: “H. alis obtusis corpore duplo longioribus, corpore 
ferrugineo immaculato. Minor H. equina. Caput et thorax 
ferruginea, immaculata. Abdomen brevissimum ; segmento 
primo transverso, carinato. Alse longissimse, albse. Forte 
mera H. equina varietas.” Speiser (1904, Ann. Mus. Civ. 
Genova, XLI, p. 332) claims to have recognized this species 
in a specimen at the Genoa Museum, collected by Fea 
(1885) at Mandalay, Burma. He states that the wing 
venation is as in H. equina, but otherwise mentions only 
color characters. Later (1908, Zeitschr. Wiss. Insekten- 
biol., IV, pp. 301 and 443) Speiser regarded it as a typi- 
cally Oriental species, differing from all others in the 
absence of pale markings. The only specimen he saw was 
about the size of H. capensis (wing 6.5 mm. long). I 
hesitate, however, to change the name of this well-known 
species until Fabricius’ type can be critically studied.
