These specimens, actual topotypes, are of a far brighter 

 colour than those from the Cameroons, which, in the absence 

 of Angolan examples, we had hitherto treated as the true 

 Bocagei. 



The Cameroon form would appear to represent a special 

 subspecies, as follows : — ■ 



My otis Bocagei cupreolus, subsp. n. 



Essential characters as in true M. Bocagei, but the colour 

 much darker, owing to only the terminal millimetre instead of 

 2-3 mm. of the dorsal hairs being reddish ; the reddish is 

 also of a more coppery tone. A blackish patch at the base of 

 each humerus. Under surface dark smoky brown, the hairs 

 being dark smoky with brownish tips ; inguinal region not 

 or scarcely lighter. In true Bocagei the under surface is pale 

 buffy brown. 



Dimensions of the type : — 



Forearm 39 mm. 



" Head and body 60 " ; " tail 40" ; " ear 15." 



Skull : greatest length 15.
