Zedlitz gives a good and clear account of the races of this 

 species (J. f. O. 1911, pp. 6iJ2-4) ; since then Lyncs (Bull. 

 B. O. C. xxxiii. 1914, p. 131) has described another quite 

 distinct form from Gaboon. 



We find that in the present series, especially among the 

 biids from Lado, the chin sometimes shows a little white, 

 indicating an approach to the southern (). a. polyzona and to 

 0. a. midUri of East Africa and south Abyssinia.
