Torit and Juba appear to be the only locality records avail- 

 able for the Sudan, A nvtmber of Varanus lizards and tortoises 

 in Torit and Juba Districts and elsev.'here in the Sudan have been 

 examined but this tick was found only on the three reptiles listed 

 above. Sudan Government collections also contain specimens frora 

 Atiambo, fornerly in this Province but now a part of U^■anda. 



*Sudan specimens referable to A. narraoreu-n fall irito v;hat is be- 

 lieved to be a ^oup of closely related African species in need 

 of careful study before definite naiies can be satisfactorily ap- 

 plied. References here are for any ticks for which the naT£ A, 

 marraoreim has been used. The tern "'A. Tnarmoreu.'n f^roup"', as h'ere 

 used, includes specimens that can be~keyed to this naine in the 

 Robinson (1926) key, or that cone close to it but do not equal 

 related species such as A. nuttalli . The A. falsonarmoreun of 

 Tonelli-Rondelli (1935) also falls into this ^roup. The disposL. 

 tion of this group dictated by Schulze (1932AJ is hopelessly im- 

 natural and practically useless. 



**The distribution of V. niloticus and related species is stated 

 on paf];e 283. _K. b. beTllana ranges as far vest as Cameroons, 

 where the subspecies no^-ueyi also occurs; the latter extends 

 westward to Sierra Leone ^ Lover idge, correspondence).
