ENTOMOLOGY 957 
Kimpako to Sanda, one female paratype (H. Vanderyst. — Congo Museum, 
Tervueren). Semliki Valley, September 10, 1913, one female paratype (C. Christy. 
— Congo Museum, Tervueren). Aruwimi River, two female paratypes (U. 8. 
Nat. Mus.). Uele River, one female paratype (J. Rodhain). Avakubi, Octo- 
ber 4, 1909, one female paratype (H. Lang and J. P. Chapin). Tete (between 
Penge and Irumu), February 22, 1914, one female paratype. Lubutu, January 20 
and 29, 1915, five female paratypes. 
This species belongs in the group for which Surcouf has erected the genus or 
subgenus Austenia. It is easily distinguished from H. grahami Austen and H. 
daveyt Austen by having the frontal callosity quite widely separated from and 
not nearly touching the eyes and in lacking the conspicuous creamy-white band 
at the base of the hind tibiae. From H. bullatifrons Austen (1908, Ann. Mag. 
Nat. Hist., (8) I, p. 407, 9; 1909, ‘Illustr. African Blood-Suck. Flies,’ p. 127, 
Pl. XI, fig. 87), with which it has probably been confused thus far, H. ciliatipes 
differs, inter alia, in the peculiar color scheme of the wing (especially in the dis- 
tinct contrast in color of the basal and apical halves and in the absence of a 
circular rosette at the apex of the discal cell), in the different shape of the an- 
tennae, as well as in the absence of the pair of buff-colored spots on the hind 
tibiae. I have compared the type of H. ciliatipes with that of H. bullatifrons at 
the British Museum. Originally described from Northern Nigeria, H. bullati- 
frons has also been recorded from the Gold Coast and French Guinea, so that its 
occurrence in Liberia is most probable. 
Haematopota masseyi Austen 
Haematopota masseyt Austen, 1908, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8) II, p. 97 ( 2; Lualaba River, be- 
tween 9° S. and 10° 40’ S., Belgian Congo). 
BELGIAN Conco.— Ngombe (Kasai) (H. Schouteden). Leverville (mid- 
Kwilu) (H. Vanderyst). Lubefu. 
The above specimens, six females in all, differ from both H. denshamii Austen 
and H. copemani Austen as indicated in the key. The female from Lubefu was 
seen by Surcouf, who referred it doubtfully to his H. laverani. 
This species is known only from Northern Rhodesia and the Katanga and 
Kasai districts of the Belgian Congo. 
Haematopota laverani Surcouf 
Haematopota laverani Surcouf, 1907, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, XIII, p. 421 (9; Kabinda, 
Belgian Congo). 
This species is known only from the type locality, which is in the Katanga 
District of the Belgian Congo. I have not seen it. According to Austen (1908), 
H. copemanii is distinguished from H. laverani ‘‘by the frontal callus being 
slightly shallower on each side of the middle line, the light area in the wings and 
the light wing-markings being more hyaline, the first and second costal cells 
being darker, and the stigma being distinctly longer and darker.”
