956 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
rather dull; basal division of third segment much longer than the first segment. 
Frons with only two, small, velvety, lateral spots; the basal callosity dirty yellowish, 
long, occupying nearly one-third of the frons, rectangular and broadly contiguous to 
the eyes. Abdomen with two rows of large, conspicuous, gray spots almost forming 
two stripes. Wing very slightly smoky, with rather small and much scattered clear 
spots, not fommine conspicuous rosettes. Length, 10 mm................ H. nowialis. 
Haematopota ciliatipes, new species 
Female. — Length, 11 to 13 mm.; width of head, 4 to 4.5 mm.; width of frons at vertex, a 
little over 1 mm.; length of wing, 10 to 11 mm. 
A dark colored, unusually large species. Wing divided near middle into a basal, light part 
with few dark markings and an apical, dark part with few light markings. Hind tibiae distinctly 
ciliate; antennae long, rather slender; frontal callosity large, shiny black and strongly convex 
dorsally. Space between the antennae and reaching down onto the face deep velvety black. Frontal 
spots and two spots on the face between the eyes and antennae, one on each side, velvety black. 
Head: frons wide, wider below than at vertex, gray pollinose and mostly black pilose; median 
frontal spot minute; lateral frontal spots of medium size, distinctly separated from the eyes and 
the frontal callosity. Frontal callosity prominent, shiny black, semicircular in outline with the 
upper convexity distinctly separated from the eyes. Face largely white pollinose and hairy; a 
three-sided velvety black spot in contact with each eye at the level of the antennae, and a black 
marking on upper middle and extending between the antennae to join the frontal callosity; this 
latter marking is truncate below and equal in width to the distance between the antennae at 
their insertions. First segment of the antenna scarcely enlarged, somewhat larger at apex than 
at base; basal part reddish yellow, apex and entire second segment black and black hairy; third 
segment elongate, slender, widest near base and gradually narrowed toward apex, narrowly pale 
basally, otherwise blackish on the outer side, usually somewhat paler on the inner side. Palpi fuscous, 
not much enlarged, distinctly shorter than the proboscis. Thorax nearly black above; three gray 
stripes before the transverse suture, mid-dorsal one very narrow and scarcely evident, lateral ones 
wider and distinct, each followed behind the transverse suture by a distinct small triangular 
spot; dorsum behind the transverse suture with four gray stripes all widened behind; scutellum 
with narrow brown base, otherwise white; sides and venter of thorax white pollinose and white 
hairy. Abdomen black, with the lateral and posterior margin of each segment gray pollinose; 
second segment with narrow anterior margin, wide lateral margins, mid-dorsal area and rather 
wide posterior margin, gray; third similar to second, but the gray is less extensive; venter entirely 
gray pollinose. Legs: fore tibiae white basally; otherwise fore legs dark and long hairy; middle 
femora pale brownish; middle tibiae light and dark banded, with a light band near the base and 
another beyond the middle, the light bands wider than the dark ones; hind femora colored like the 
middle ones, with long white hairs, except at apex where there is a tuft of black hairs; hind tibiae 
distinctly but moderately widened, flat, uniformly blackish brown, without spots, long ciliate 
for their entire length, especially on the outer margin, the hairs pale basally and over part of the 
anterior surface, black over apical four-fifths; all the tarsi dark, nearly black. Wing: basal half 
as far as the stigma mostly light with mottled dark markings, especially in the basal cells, the 
axillary cell more extensively dark; apical half dark with light markings, the black stigma large 
and long but less conspicuous than usual; the two halves in rather sharp contrast; the light 
markings few, not forming rosettes, mostly small and drop-shaped, a much larger spot in the 
apical third of the first posterior cell and a streak across the first submarginal cell (a little before the 
appendix) connected with a spot in the marginal cell (beyond the stigma); preapical streak narrow, 
short, and broken up into three drop-like spots. Squamae brown, border dark brown. Halteres: 
knobs brown, stalks brownish yellow.
