DISTRIBUTION IN THE SUDAN 



A. lepidum occurs in all Provinces except Northern, though it 

 does arrive at the Wadi Haifa quarantine in Northern Province 

 on cattle from the South (King 1926). 



All available Equatoria Province specimens originate from 

 Eastern District and Torit District with the single exception of 

 a male from a tiang at Terakeka (H. H. King legit ), on the v/est 

 bank of the Nile. 



The following Svidan locality records are all from cattle and 

 all from the Si:idan Government collection unless otherwise noted: 



Bahr el Ghazal ; Lau and Yirol (SVS), Guar, Gogrial Suh. 

 district (giraffe; SVS), Aliab (buffalo j SVS). Akot (dying bullj 

 SVS). Eight miles west of Yirol (head of greater bustard; SVS), 

 I doubt that A. lepidum is widely established, if at all, in Bahr 

 el Ghazal Province, Each collection consists of only a single 

 male, except for one male and female from great herds of migrating 

 cattle at Yirol, 22 April 195-^^ (SVS).

 goats; SVS jr~Pariak (SVS ), Bor (SVS), Melut (mule). Rom 

 (buffalo). Kaka (roan antelope). Er Renk (domestic sheep), 

 Makier (SVS). Malakal (HH). Specimens from Tonga, that were 

 identified as A. lepidum by dtinitz in 1912, were the basis of 

 King's (1911) report of A. hebraeunuvariegatum from the Sudan 

 according to Nuttall's notes for lot 529 in his logbook in 

 British Miiseum (Natural History).
