Teniorhinus watsoni Holland (Fig. 51, $ genitalia)
Teniorhinus watsoni Holland, 1892b: 292 (Gabon).
= Oxypalpus niger H. H. Druce, 1910b: 376; pi. 35, fig. 10 (Congo).
Evans (1937: 97) considered niger a subspecies of watsoni, which is impossible since the two fly together at Efulen, Cameroon without intergrades. This evidence suggests that either niger is a variant or a separate species, but the genitalia are inseparable from those of watsoni. No decision can be made concerning the status of niger without much more material and careful field observation where the two occur together. There are records of watsoni from Sierra Leone to Gabon and east to Uganda.
