242 HYPARGOS DYBROWSKIIL 
has been recorded from the Lualaba River (Bohm), Kibero 
(Bohndorff); from nearer the East Coast, at Rovuma River 
(Thomson), Lindi, Pare, Arusha (Fischer), Pangani, Melinda 
(Kirk), Nguru (Kmin), Marangu (Neumann), Ndi (Hilde- 
brandt). The Taita country is the most northern range 
known for the species.

in about 5° 8. lat., 20° E. long.
