1 Lotti Forest Colobus polykomos dodlngae Apr 



Lotti Forest is at 4500 feet elevation. This is the only 

 record of this species from the Sudan. About a dozen monkeys of 

 the same species examined in Lotti Forest and at other places at 

 different altitudes in the same forest were free of ticks. An 

 equal number of monkeys, Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni , from 

 Lotti Forest were tickless, as were numerous specimens of other 

 monkeys (Setzer 1956) examined elsewhere in the Sudan. 



DISTRIBUTION 



I. schillingsl , a parasite of East African Colobxis monkeys, 

 does not appear to range outside of wooded savannah and forested 

 areas. It is the sole described African representative of a 

 complex of species occurring in Asia, Madagascar, Australia, 

 and Europe.
