Hippoboscidae (Diptera Pupipara) 
Notes. The original description contains nothing of value in aiding to 
identify the species except the statement that there is “a stout black spine 
at the apex of the inner side of the front tibiae/' which is sufficient to dis¬ 
tinguish the species from L. deyressa. We are simply assuming that our 
specimens represent this species. 
The species presents a wealth of structural characters by which it is dis¬ 
tinguished from any others that we have examined.
