962 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Haematopota cruenta Austen 
Haematopota cruenta Austen, 1908, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8) I, p. 416 ( @; Ruwe, Belgian Congo). 
This species is known only from the type locality in the Katanga District. 
I have not seen it, but it has been included in the key after Austen’s description. 
Haematopota schoutedeni (Surcouf) 
Chrysozona schoutedeni Surcouf, 1911, Rev. Zool. Afric., I, p. 89 ( 2; Kindu, Belgian Congo). 
This species is known only from the type specimen, which I had before me 
in drawing up the key to the Congo species. 
In a former paper (1913, Rev. Zool. Afric., II, 3, p. 466), I referred to 
H. schoutedeni a female from the Samba River (on the railroad, about midway 
between Kindu and Kongolo), Belgian Congo. Upon comparing it with the type, 
however, I find several important differences, notably in the shape of the an- 
tennae, the first segment of which is much shorter; also the basal segment of the 
middle and hind tarsi has a conspicuous white ring (in schoutedeni they are barely 
paler at the extreme base) and the center of the (otherwise dark) discal cell is 
clear with a minute dark spot (in schoutedeni the discal cell has two remote clear 
cross-bands and a small, clear basal spot). This specimen appears to belong to a 
species closely allied to H. cruenta Austen, yet distinct. 
Haematopota partifascia, new species 
Female. — Length, 9.5 to 10 mm.; width of head, 3.25 mm.; width of frons at vertex, about 
1 mm.; length of wing, 8.5 to 9 mm. 
A brown species, with dark wings, with many of the pale spots quadrangular; hind tibiae 
with a single, basal, white band. Preapical pale marking of the wing not reaching the posterior 
margin. 
Head: frons grayish brown pollinose; three velvet brown spots, a very small one at middle, 
midway between vertex and frontal callosity, and two larger ones, with vertical diameter greater 
than the transverse, Just above the ends of the frontal callosity, not quite touching the eyes; frontal 
eallosity shiny blackish brown, rather prominent, widened at middle both above and below, 
touching the eyes; face and cheeks gray pollinose, with a small, three-sided, brown spot in contact 
with each eye just below the level of the antennae; clypeal pits small, deep, brown in color; palpi 
gray, rather slender, clothed with short black hairs, distinctly shorter than the proboscis which is 
dark brown. Antenna dark, nearly black, rather slender; first segment, seen from above, uni- 
formly thick and about three times as long as wide, in profile gradually wider toward the apex; 
third segment slender, the basal division moderately and fairly uniformly widened throughout, 
slightly longer than the first segment. Thorax brown dorsally, with pale short hairs on the disk; 
anteriorly with evidences of five gray lines, none of which reach the transverse suture in their 
full intensity, although all but the middle one may be followed that far; posterior to the transverse 
suture there are two small gray spots adjacent to the suture and on either side a faint gray stripe; 
these indicate four gray stripes, each pair of which is connected on each side in front of the seutellum 
by rather prominent, curved, gray markings. Scutellum widely margined with brown, leaving a 
transverse, three-sided, gray area basally; in some specimens the brown border is divided on the 
mid-dorsal line by a rather narrow backward extension of the gray basal area. Abdomen brown 
above, slightly paler toward base; each segment with a narrow, posterior, gray border; no lateral 
spots; venter much like the dorsum, except for the presence of a glaucous covering. Legs dark 
nearly black, femora somewhat paler; fore and hind tibiae each with one wide, basal, white band: 
middle tibiae each with a wide, basal, white band and a narrower one of the same color near apical 
third; tarsi black, the basal segment of the middle and hind tarsi very narrowly whitish at base 
Wing dark, nearly black, with small pale spots many of which are quadrangular in form; the vale
