This species, known as the stable-fly, was originally at home in the Old 
World; but, through the agency of man, it has now become practically cos- 
mopolitan. It is very common throughout Africa and extremely variable in 
size as well as in the extent of the abdominal markings. It is doubtful whether 
these variations are more than individual or seasonal, and whether any of the 
many names listed in the foregoing synonymy can be retained for true geographi- 
cal races.
