Range. — This species was described from Fernando Po, from 

 which island we hâve a nice séries. On the mainland it occurs on 

 the Gold Coast, in Cameroon (side by side with A. batesï) and in 

 Northern Angola, where Ansorge obtained a small séries at 

 Ndala Tando. No spécimens hâve been obtained in the Western 

 Belgian Congo but it has turned up again in the Semliki Valley, 

 where a spécimen was obtained by the British Muséum Ruwenzori 

 Expédition lo miles N. W. of Fort Béni. This species was acci- 

 dentally omitted in the report of the Expédition. One other spéci- 

 men was shot by Neave in Uganda near Entebbe.
