the Oriental Region (Java; Formosa), and, if his identifications were correct, 
Stomoxys oblongopunctata Brunetti (1910, Rec. Indian Mus., IV, p. 73; 2; 
Assam) may be a synonym of S. brunnipes. 
As pointed out by Bezzi (1911, Boll. Labor. Zool. Gen. Agrar. Portici, VI, 
p. 98), S. brunnipes is perhaps only a variation of S. sitiens Rondani. S. bilineata 
Griinberg may also be the same species.

Uaanpa. — Near Kabale, one female, April 12, 1927. 
This species seems to be strictly East African, being known from Eritrea, 
Abyssinia, Kenya Colony, Tanganyika Territory, and southwestern Uganda.

Liperia. — Gbhanga, September 12, 1926, one male, sitting on a leaf in second- 
growth forest. 
This species appears to be generally distributed throughout tropical Africa. 
There are records from Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Gold Coast, Togo, 
Northern Nigeria, Southern Nigeria, Cameroon, Belgian Congo (Nouvelle- 
Anvers; Sendwe; Lulongo; Nyangwe; Kasongo), the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, 
Abyssinia, Kenya Colony, Uganda, Zanzibar, Tanganyika Territory, Northern 
Rhodesia, Pemba Island, Nyasaland, and Zululand. It is also known from 
Réunion and Mauritius.

French Congo, and Mbamu Island, Belgian Congo); 1911, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot., Paris, IV, 
pp. 123 and 127(¢<). J. Bequaert, 1913, Rev. Zool. Afric., III, p. 2. 
I have listed (1913) many localities of the Belgian Congo for this species; 
but as none of these specimens are now before me, I am unable to confirm or to 
correct the identifications. Moreover, I am inclined to regard S. bowviert as a 
synonym of S. nigra Macquart, which Roubaud does not seem to have recognized. 
S. bouviert has been recorded from the Ivory Coast, Dahomey, French Congo, 
and Belgian Congo. What Roubaud describes as S. bouwviert var. clara (1907,
