Collections recently received by the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, chiefly from Natal, have brought to light several interesting new forms in this group of flies, and their study has yielded certain unlooked for results which it appears desirable to place on record, together with descriptions of the new species, the types of which have been presented by the Bureau to the British Museum. The opportunity has been taken of publishing revised keys to the African species of Banksinetta and Taeniorhynchus.

A New Species

Descriptions are given of five new species of Azotus Howard from the Ethiopian region, including one from Mauritius. These bring the total number of Azotus species known from this region to eight. Two described species, A. capensis Howard and A. elegantulus Silvestri, are annotated and figured, and a key to the species is given. The related genus, Ablerus Howard, is recorded from Africa for the first time on the basis of a new species from the eastern Cape Province, and a new East African species of Physcus Howard, is described. A second East African species of the latter genus, one with flightless females, is characterised but not named to species.

A New Species

Cissampelos keniensis, a new species of Menispermaceae described and illustrated here, was collected from the rainforest on the eastern slope of Mt. Kenya. It is distinguished from all other tropical East African species in the genus by its cordate leaves, 4-locular synandrium, glabrous drupes and suborbicular-bilaterally compressed endocarp. A key to distinguish among the eight species of Cissampelos known from tropical East Africa is proposed.

A New Species

A description is given of the male, female, nymph and larva of Rhipicephalus carnivoralis sp.nov., a parasite of carnivores in East Africa, and its affinities within the genus are discussed.Its developmental periods under laboratory conditions are given and its hosts and distribution in the field are recorded.The author wishes to thank the Director of the East African Veterinary Research Organization for permission to publish this paper. She is also most grateful to all who made field collections of this species for her; to the British Museum (Natural History), London, for the loan of specimens from their collection; to J. P. J. Ross for the loan of specimens from his collection and to D. W. Brocklesby and K. P. Bailey, who carried out the experiments on the transmission of East Coast fever. Dr G. Theiler, Mr G. H. Yeoman, Mr G. M. Kohls, Dr C. M. Clifford and Dr H. Hoogstraal kindly checked the manuscript before publication and made helpful suggestions. Finally, she would like to thank Professor P. C. C. Garnham and Dr Charles Wilcocks for their advice on the name of this tick.

A small number of Haematopota from the Congo were recently sent for determination to the British Museum by M. E. Roubaud of the Pasteur Institute. Among these were specimens of an interesting new species of the H. pertinens group, and as M. Roubaud was kind enough to say that the type of this species might be deposited in the British Museum, I undertook to describe it, including at the same time, at Dr. G. A. K. Marshall's request, descriptions of a few of the numerous unrecorded African species of this genus in the collections of the British Museum and the Imperial Bureau of Entomology.

This short review is incomplete in so far as it deals only with the material received by the Imperial Institute of Entomology for identification and that which is contained in the collections of the British Museum. A list of the species unknown to me is given at the end of the paper.Nine new species and one new variety are described.

Male Genital

In preparing his first synopsis of the African species of Culex (Bull. Ent. Res., ii, pt. 3, Oct. 1911) the writer relied almost entirely upon characters of coloration for the separation of species, and had made no study of the male genital organs; at the same time it was pointed out that the group of species allied to Culex invidiosus required much additional study before their classification could be regarded as satisfactory. It is now possible to give in full the results of further study of the African species of Culex of the pipiens and invidiosus groups. It has been found that, in these groups at least, the species can most readily be separated by means of the male genitalia, and also that one or two names which had previously been sunk as synonyms must in reality stand as good species. In the present contribution figures are given of the male genital organs of eleven species; these, together with the four already illustrated (Bull. Ent. Res., iv, pt. 1, May 1913) comprise all the African Culex with the exception of (1) those with a banded proboscis; (2) those with characteristic leg markings, C. tigripes and C. tipuliformis; (3) C. pruina, which is described below; (4) C. didieri, N.L., and C. pygmaeus, N.L., which the writer is unable to recognise; and (5) those with the pale markings of the abdomen situated towards the apices of the segments. As before, all the figures have been prepared by Mr. A. J. Engel Terzi with very great care and accuracy, and I am much indebted to him for his assistance in this difficult piece of work.
