Type. — ^ ad. (in alcohol). Mazoe, Mashonaland, col- 

 lected by J. ff. Darling, Esq. B.M. no. 2. 2. 7. 10. 



Distribution. — Besides the type sj)ecimen I have seen only 

 two skins, from the same locality and the same collector. 



Remarks. — Owing to our still very defective knowledge of 

 the Ethiopian AVa'«o/c>/?^i*, the true affinities of this interesting 

 species are somewhat obscure. I have compared it witli 

 Rh. capensis, only because it, by quite superficial inspection, 

 could be taken for a curiously small and long-tailed form of 

 that species. Tiie totally different skull and dentition prove 

 that it, in fact, has nothing to do with Rh. capensis, but, 

 most probably, is to be regarded as an aberrant member of 

 tiie Rh. Landeri group. It cannot be confounded with any 

 other species ; Rk. Landeri, lohatus, and Denii may, apart 

 from many other differences, at once be distinguished by 

 their very narrow sella.
