ENTOMOLOGY 961 
This species has been found thus far in Uganda (Buddu and Mpanga Forests) 
and in the Uele and Ituri districts of the Belgian Congo (not in ‘Tanganyika 
Territory” as given by Austen, 1926). 
Breieian Conao, — Amadis to Bambili; Uere River (J. Rodhain). Lesse, 
July 21, 1914. Moto, 1920 (L. Burgeon). Mahagi, May 1925 (H. Schouteden). 
Medje (H. Lang and J. P. Chapin). Kongolo (Dr. Russo). Loja River, at Inger- 
osa (near Irumu), attacking elephant, May 24, 1927 (R. P. Strong). 
If I have correctly recognized this species, it is closely allied to H. pulchella 
Edwards, H. nefanda Edwards and H. obsoleta Edwards, which all would run in 
my key to H. inornata. H. pulchella may be separated from the others by the 
presence along the hind margin of the wing of a large hyaline spot in the second 
and fifth posterior cells. H. nefanda has a wide, hyaline half-circle in the first 
submarginal cell (above the appendix), which in H. inornata and H. obsoleta is 
replaced by a hyaline cross-streak before and behind the appendix. H. obsoleta 
differs from H. inornata in the absence of the short hyaline cross-streak in the 
apex of the wing (across the upper branch of the third longitudinal vein). 
Haematopota neavei Austen 
Haematopota neaver Austen, 1912, Bull. Ent. Res., III, p. 336, Pl. X, fig. 9 ( 9 #; Tero Forest, 
southeastern Buddu, Uganda, 3,800 ft.). Neave, 1912, loc. cit., III, pp. 291 and 322 ( 9 @). 
BELGIAN Conao. — Rubengera (or Lubengera), Ruanda, alt. about 1,500 m., 
September 30, 1924 (René Van Saceghem). 
This species is known only from Uganda and Ruanda. It is extremely close 
to H. inornata Austen, of which it is possibly the mountain forest representative. 
Haematopota nigripennis Austen 
Haematopota nigripennis Austen, 1914, Bull. Ent. Res., IV, 4, p. 297, fig. 5 ( 9 ; Lake George, 
Uganda). 
BELGIAN Conao. — Arebi (Upper Uele District), June 1925 (H. Schouteden). 
This most remarkable species, which has been beautifully figured by Austen, 
is known only from Uganda and the northeastern Belgian Congo. 
Haematopota decora Walker 
Haematopota decora Walker, 1850, ‘Insecta Saundersiana,’ I, Dipt., p. 454( @; Port Natal). Austen, 
1909, ‘Illustr. African Blood-Suck. Flies,’ p. 128, Pl. XII, fig. 89 ( ¢). 
Haematopota dorsalis Loew, 1858, Ofvers. Svenska Vet. Ak. Forhandl., XIV, (1857), p. 342 
(9; Caffraria). 
BELGIAN Conco. — Dungu, one female; Tini (Uele District), one female 
(J. Rodhain). 
This species appears to be widely distributed over the Ethiopian Region, since 
it has been recorded from Gambia and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan to Cape 
Colony. The above females from the Congo agree in every respect with three 
females from Nyasaland (determined by Major Austen) and with specimens 
from Lourenzo Marques at the U. 8. National Museum.
