Haematopota ochracea (Bezzi) 
Chrysozona (Haematopota) ochracea Bezzi, 1908, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique, LII, p. 375 ( 2; Vivi, 
Belgian Congo). : 
Tylopelma patellicorne Enderlein, 1922, Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, X, 2, p. 350 (without specific 
description); 1925, loc. cit., XI, 2, p. 399 ( 2; to the west of Lake Albert, and Avakubi on the 
Aruwimi River, Belgian Congo. Both these localities are in the Ituri District of the Belgian 
Congo, not in ‘East Africa” as stated by Enderlein. The fauna of the Ituri District is dis- 
tinctly West African). 
Briaian Congo. — Malela, in the estuary of the Congo, several females 
and one male, June 1915, and September 10, 1913; Moho near Lesse (in the 
Semliki Forest), June 9, 1914; Tete (in the Ituri Forest, between Penge and 
Irumu), February 22, 1914. Arebi (J. Rodhain). Zambi, one female (H. Lang 
and J. P. Chapin). Congo da Lemba, December 27, 1911 (R. Mayné). Matadi, 
June 1926 (J. Ghesquiére). Temvo, March 1922 (H. Schouteden). Moto 
(Madyu) (lL. Burgeon). 
From the very brief description H. ochracea could not possibly be recognized. 
Fortunately, through the kindness of Dr. H. Schouteden, I was able to study the 
type. It is a species closely allied to H. vittata, and, it seems, widely distributed 
in the Belgian Congo. It was recently redescribed by Enderlein from the Ituri 
Forest as T'ylopelma patellicorne. 
The following description may help to recognize H. ochracea: 
Female. — Length, 10 to 11.5 mm.; width of head, 4 mm.; width of frons at vertex, just 
under 1 mm.; length of wing, 10 mm. 
Head: frons gray pollinose, slightly mottled with brown, with three dark colored, velvety 
spots of which the median (upper) one is rounded and slightly smaller than the two lateral ones; 
these are somewhat three-sided with the angles rounded, narrowly separated from the frontal 
callosity and still more narrowly from the eyes. Frontal callosity rather light brown, narrow, 
transverse, reaching the eyes; but as the ends are oblique and not exactly parallel to the eye 
margins, a very narrow pollinose wedge is visible between the dorsal part of the frontal callosity 
and the eye on each side. Below the frontal callosity and above the antennae a very narrow 
gray pollinose streak reaches the eyes; this streak is widened at middle and extends downward 
between the antennae. Upper half of face brown across down to near the lower extremity of the 
eyes, with a yellowish gray spot; lower half gray pollinose, excepting the minute clypeal pits which 
are brown; the two areas sharply contrasting. Palpi pale brown, with black hair, shorter than 
the proboscis which is of the same color. Antenna yellowish brown; first segment about three 
times as long as wide, distinctly swollen and with a deep transverse notch before the apex on the 
upper side; second segment short, most prominent dorsally; third segment in profile at widest 
point scarcely wider than the first segment, its basal division nearly evenly curved ventrally, 
rapidly widened dorsally to middle of its length and then as rapidly narrowed; three terminal 
divisions slender, short, much shorter than the basal division. Thorax brown dorsally; in well- 
preserved specimens with the median portion mostly gray; five narrow, gray stripes before the 
transverse suture, the mid-dorsal one narrow and visible for some distance beyond the suture 
where it connects with a much wider gray marking which reaches the scutellum; stripes on either 
side of the mid-dorsal stripe and nearest to it also continued beyond the transverse suture, curved 
toward each other and continuous with the wide middle stripe back to the scutellum; this wide 
middle stripe is fureate posteriorly and sends a curved branch in each direction along the suture 
before the scutellum and each finally joins a lateral thoracic stripe which is shown quite faintly 
above the base of the wing. Sides and venter of thorax pale brown in ground color, but thinly and 
uniformly gray pollinose. Scutellum with a brown spot on either side of the middle, otherwise 
reddish yellow and gray pollinose. Abdomen dorsally brown, with narrow posterior margins of 
the segments, a poorly defined mid-dorsal stripe, and a small spot on either side of segments three 
to seven, gray. In some specimens the last three or four segments, sometimes other segments, are
