960 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
This species is known only from the Belgian Congo, where it is by no means 
rare. Of the specimens which I have recorded in 1913 under the name H. duttont, 
I feel certain that those of Kasongo, the Lufubu River, and Kibombo were cor- 
rectly identified. The other specimens, from Katanga, probably all belonged to 
H. pertinens Austen, as shown in the discussion of that species. The figure which 
I have given of the antenna is that of the true H. duttonv.

BELGIAN Conao. — Mufungwa (Sampwe), December 16, 1911. Hlisabeth- 
ville, January (C. Seydel; Mich. Bequaert; Valdonio). Kongolo, December 
(Mich. Bequaert). 
The specimen from Mufungwa was listed by me in a former paper (1918, 
Rey. Zool. Afric., II, 3, p. 467) as H. duttont Newstead; but a careful comparison 
with a specimen of H. pertinens, from Nyasaland (identified by Austen), leaves 
no doubt that it belongs to the latter. Possibly all the other specimens from 
Katanga (Kilwa, Songa, and Lukonzolwa) recorded in the paper mentioned were 
likewise H. pertinens. 
Moreover, I am by no means certain that H. pertinens is a valid species. I 
have before me a specimen taken at Kasongo which, in the shape of the antennae, 
is intermediate between H. duttont and H. pertinens. It agrees with pertinens 
in having the basal division of the third segment much longer than the first 
segment; but the apical division is considerably shorter than the two preceding 
divisions taken together. This specimen has also a trace of an additional light 
streak in the apex of the second submarginal cell. 
Surcouf (1912) has referred to H. pertinens specimens from 345 kilometers 
south of Kindu (on the railroad to Kongolo) and from Leopoldville. I have not 
seen these specimens. 
H. pertinens appears to be widely distributed in the savannas of tropical 
Africa. It is known from Northern Nigeria, the Belgian Congo, Northern and 
Southern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and Portuguese East Africa.

The more definite locality of the type specimens is unfortunately not known. 
BrLetan Conco. —I refer to this species a female taken on the Lupwezi 
River in the Katanga District, by Dr. J. Rodhain. I have, however, not been 
able to compare it with the type. 
The basal, pale ring of the hind tibiae is very faint and might easily be over- 
looked.
