f. Fourth and fifth segments of the first and second pair of
tarsi are black.
g. The yellow bands of the abdominal segments occupy a third
of the segment (fig. 165). G. MORSITANS Westw.
gg. The yellow band on each segment of the abdomen occupies
a sixth of the segment. G. LONGIPALPIS Wied.
ff. Tarsi of the first and second pairs of legs wholly yellow.
_G. pallidipes_ Austen
cc. Rays of the arista not plumose; only one or two sternopleurals;
base of the media not strongly bowed down; apical cell opens at
or very near the apex of the wing.
d. Vein R_{4+5} without setæ at the base; palpi about as long as
the proboscis.
e. Arista pectinate (i.e. rays on one side only), the rays often
undulate; two yellow sternopleurals often difficult to
detect; vein M_{1+2} only slightly bent, the apical cell
hence wide open. The horn fly, H. IRRITANS (= _Lyperosia
serrata_) and related species. Widely distributed (figs.
167, 168). HÆMATOBIA R. D. not B. B.
[Illustration: 165. Glossina morsitans. (×4.) After Austen.]
ee. Arista also with rays below; vein M_{1+2} more strongly
bent, the apical cell hence less widely open.
f. Palpi strongly spatulate at the tips, lower rays of the
arista about six in number, B. SANGUINOLENTUS. South Asia.
BDELLOLARYNX Austen
ff. Palpi feebly spatulate; apical cell of the wing narrowly
open slightly before the tip; sternopleurals black,
anterior bristle sometimes absent. H. ATRIPALPIS. Europe.
HÆMATOBOSCA Bezzi
dd. Vein R_{4+5} with setæ at the base.[L]
e. Veins R_1 and R_{4+5} with setæ at the base; two equally
prominent sternopleural macrochætæ; arista with rays both
above and below; palpi as long as the proboscis; apical cell
of the wing wide open. L. TIBIALIS. (_Hæmatobia_ B. B. not
R. D.). LYPEROSIOPS Town.
ee. Only vein R_{4+5} with basal setæ; anterior sternopleural
macrochæta wanting; arista pectinate.
f. Palpi as long as the proboscis, the latter stout, with
fleshy terminal labellæ; apical cell narrowly open;
sternopleural macrochætæ black. S. MACULOSA from Africa
and related species from Asia. STYGEROMYIA Austen
ff. Palpi much shorter than the proboscis, the latter pointed
at the apex, without fleshy labellæ; apical cell of the
wing wide open. S. CALCITRANS, the stable fly and related
species. Widely distributed in both hemispheres (fig.
110). STOMOXYS Geof.
aa. Proboscis neither slender nor elongate, the labellæ fleshy and not
adapted for piercing.
