This bird also occurs in Somaliland (where it was described 

 as Muscicapa somaliensis by Bannerman) and in southern 

 Arabia as well as in the Shari country about Lake Chad. 



It has not previously been recorded from the Sudan.

There are examples of this species from Wadelai {Emin) 

 and from several places in Uganda in the Museum, but it 

 does not appear to have been previously known from so far 

 north. It is new to the Sudan, and was not met with by 

 Butler. The labels state that it inhabits the papyrus and 

 acts like a Flycatcher.
