Cliaetura sabini Gray in Griff. An. Kingd, II, 1829, p. 70. — 

 Type localitv : Africa. 



This species was described from Africa without anv localitv 

 being designated. There are spécimens in the Bristish Muséum from 

 Fernando Po, Sierra-Leone, Yambuva on the Aruwimi River and 

 from the River Ja in Cameroon. 



It is very surprising to find that this species has occured so far 

 from its normal habitat as Sierra-Leone. It is apparentlv plentiful 

 in Fernando Po and ranges eastwards from Cameroon and Gaboon 

 across the northern Belgian Congo to the Forest countrv lying 

 west of the Semliki River as proved by Dr. Christy's spécimen 

 from Bosabangi, Haut-Ituri : a female shot on the 2nd of Fe- 

 "bruarv 19 14 (No 419).
