474 XANTHOPHILUS DICROCEPHALUS 



Bremen Museum with that name, and the locality, Gaboon, 

 written on the label by Jules Verreaux, and was probably 

 obtained by Du Chailhi. The species has also been met with 

 by Marche and De Compiegne at Lope and the Ogowe River- 

 Lncan and Petit both procured specimens at Landana. Perrein 

 discovered the type at the Congo, and the species has been 

 obtained at Stanley Falls (Bonhdorff). Emin found them 

 breeding in April in the grass along the banks of the Ituri 

 River, and Mr. Jackson's collection contains specimens from 

 Ntebbe in Uganda.
