270 PYTELIA CITERIOR 
Congo River Bohndorff met with it at Manyango and Kassongo. 
In Benguela, according to Anchieta, it is known to the natives 
of Galanga as the “ Cossocia,” and at the Capangombe River 
as the “ Kabalacaxungo,” and I find no mention of it from 
further south. 
In Eastern Africa it is not uncommon in Nyasaland, where 
specimens have been collected at Zomba and Fort Lister by 
Mr. A. Whyte, and at Songwe and Karungu by Sir Alfred 
Sharpe. Storms met with it on the western side of Lake 
Tanganyika, and in German Hast Africa Béhm procured a 
specimen at the Lufuku River, which he called in his note- 
book P. pyrophterye. There are, in the British Museum, 
specimens from Dar-es-Salaam, Mamboio and Lamu, collected 
by Sir John Kirk. At Zanzibar Fischer met with the species in 
parties of four to six, and found them breeding in the orange- 
trees. The nest resembled that of Spermestes scutatus. At 
Mombasa, Hildebrandt procured the type of P. cinereiqula, and 
at Kaden, in .Kavirondo, Mr. Oscar Neumann obtained a 
specimen. In South Abyssinia Lord Lovat met with it at 
Lake Chercher and at Fayambiro, which is the most northern 
range known for the species.
