968 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
appeared several months before that in the Ann. Soc. Ent. France), Bigot not 
only indicated the characters by means of which, in his opinion, H. guineensis 
might be recognized, but he also proposed the name H. cordigera for the Indian 
species, which then dates from 1891, and not from 1892, as Austen seems to 
infer. 
Haematopota stimulans Austen

Chrysozona stimulans J. Bequaert, 1913, Rev. Zool. Afric., I, 3, p. 466, fig. 12 (¢@ ). 
I have recorded this species, of Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia, from 
several localities in the Katanga District of the Belgian Congo. Two specimens 
are before me from Mufungwa (Sampwe); they do not seem to differ from a 
female of Mpika, Northeastern Rhodesia, named by Austen.

BELGIAN ConGo. — Bumba (H. Lang and J. P. Chapin). Nouvelle-Anvers, 
December 22, 1926; near Lulonga, December 21, 1926; Irebu, December 17, 
1926; Lisala, October 24, 1913. Yangambi, 1925 (J. Ghesquiére). 
Through the kindness of Dr. H. Schouteden, I have been able to compare my 
specimens with two paratypes from Bolombo and Lisala. 
This interesting species is common on the middle, or equatorial, course of 
the Congo River, between the mouth of the Ubangi and that of the Itimbiri. 
It comes on board ship and bites man. The specimen caught near Lulonga was 
attracted by light in the evening. 
Haematopota rufula (Surcouf) 
Chrysozona rufula Surcouf, 1909, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, XV, p. 537 (@; Upper Sangha, 
French Congo). 
I have seen one specimen of this species labelled “Congo belge”’ at the Congo 
Museum. It appears to be one of Surcouf’s paratypes, since it bears a label in 
the author’s handwriting “ Chrysozona rufula, Congo.’ I believe it was obtained 
in the French Congo. I have included the species in my key in order to point 
out its relationship to H. brunnescens Ricardo.
