shaded forest paths where it suns itself on leaves or fallen tree trunks, resting 
more rarely on the bare ground. It is never found in large numbers, is strictly 
diurnal and is not prone to attacking man. At Kaka Town, during a heavy 
rainstorm, I have taken a few specimens attempting to bite man under the 
open thatched shack that served as a resthouse. G. pallicera was seen to bite 
only during the daytime. Its flight is as silent as that of G. palpalis; but, when 
at rest, it often makes a high-pitched “‘peeping”’ noise.

G. pallidipes is a species of the open savannas of Africa, occurring in park- 
like country as well as in plains mostly covered with grass or with a few small 
trees and scattered bushes. It is mainly East African, being known from the 
Belgian Congo (in the northeastern corner, whence I have seen it from Van- 
kerckhovenville, Kasenyi on Lake Albert, and the plains south of Lake Edward; 
in Manyema; and in the Katanga), Uganda, Kenya Colony, Italian Somali- 
land (as far as 6° N.), Tanganyika Territory, Nyasaland, Southern Rhodesia, 
Portuguese East Africa, and Zululand. It is the species of Glossina which 
extends farthest south (28° 40’ §.).

Austen (1911) redescribed this species after a female from Boje, Liberia, 
a locality which I have not been able to locate on a map. The true G. fusca 
appears to be a strictly West African species of the rain forest and the wider 
forest galleries that extend from the forest belt into the neighboring savannas. 
It is known with certainty from French Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the 
Ivory Coast, the Gold Coast, Togo, Dahomey, Nigeria, Cameroon, French Congo, 
Belgian Congo, Angola, and Uganda. The published records from Kenya Colony 
and Tanganyika Territory were probably all based upon some of the closely allied 
species with which G. fusca, until recently, has been confused. 
In Liberia, where the species is by no means rare, it occurs in the primary 
rain forest as well as in the second-growth woods and it will travel much farther
