One adult female, from the plains east of Mount Kilimanjaro, 

 October 3, 1888. The type, and the example recorded ])y Neumann" 

 seem*to be the only ones besides this Abbott specimen that have thus 

 far been taken. This last agrees w^ell with the original description, 

 and seems to indicate the validity of 7></rtd'(/>\ at least as a subspecies,
