p. 162, Pl. XIII, fig. 103 (9). 
7. Haematobia schillingsi (Griinberg). See below. 
As pointed out by Roubaud (1911, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot., Paris, IV, p. 547), 
the species of Haematobia are more strictly parasitic than those of Stomoxys 
and Glossina. They hardly leave the body of their host, except for oviposi- 
tion, and show a tendency to become true ectoparasites (like the Hippobos- 
cidae). The vernacular name ‘‘horn-fly,” given in North America to H. 
irritans (Linnaeus), refers to the habit of clustering in large numbers around 
the base of the horns of cattle. The larvae of Haematobia live in freshly de- 
posited manure of herbivorous mammals, especially cattle and buffalo. 
Haematobia schillingsi (Griinberg) 
Glossinella schillingst Griinberg, 1906, Zoolog. Anzeiger, XXX, p. 86, figs. 11-14 (9¢; 
Donje Erok and Keitloa, Tanganyika Territory). Enderlein, 1928, Zeitschr. Angew. 
Entom., XIV, 2; p. 362, fig. 4. 
Lyperosia schillingst Austen, 1926, Bull. Ent. Res., XVI, p. 307. 
BELGIAN Coneo. — Northeastern Uele District, numerous specimens biting 
white rhinocerous (J. Rodhain). 
These specimens agree well with Griinberg’s and Enderlein’s accounts of this 
species. The palpi are slender throughout, even more so than figured by these 
authors. I follow Austen in regarding H. schillings: as specifically distinct from 
H. minuta (Bezzi). Grinberg’s types likewise were taken upon rhinoceros. 
Haematobia pallidipes (Roubaud) 
Lyperosia pallidipes Roubaud, 1907, Ann. Inst. Pasteur, Paris, X XI, p. 669 (9%; Brazza- 
ville, French Congo). Roubaud and Van Saceghem, 1916, Bull. Soc. Path. Exot., Paris, 
IX, p. 766. 
Haphospatha pallidipes Enderlein, 1928, Zeitschr. Angew. Entom., XIV, 2, pp. 364 and 367, 
Van Saceghem has taken this species at Zambi, in the estuary of the Congo. 
It is known only from the western part of the French and Belgian Congo. 
GLOSSINIDAE 
J. R. Malloch (1929, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (10) III, p. 558) has recently 
given some reasons why the genus Glossina should, in his opinion, be made 
the type of a distinct family, Glossinidae.’ He calls attention to the fact that 
1 The tsetse-flies were first separated into an independent family, Glossinidae, by Cockerell, 1908, 
Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., XXIV, p.65. This author, however, did not point out the family characters. 
Bezzi (1911, Arch. de Parasitologie, XV, p. 118) regarded the tsetse-flies as forming a distinct subfamily 
Glossininae of the Muscidae, of the same taxonomic value as the Muscinae and Stomoxydinae.
