 We have followed Claude Grant, op. cit., in his revision of 

 the races of this group and, like him, we cannot appreciate 

 the distinctness of Neumann's H. I. centralis from Uganda, 

 to which race, if accepted, it is probable that some of our 

 specimens would belong. Mr. Butler remarks that this 

 species is widely distributed, especially in the rains.
