Whyte's Crombec was met with in the lake country, 

 between Lake Zwai and the north end of Lake Stefanie. 

 Zaphiro notes that it was not very common about Lake 

 Zwai where it inhabited the mimosa trees ; he also met with 

 it at Lake Helene to the north, and at Kambata, Baroda, 

 and Konso, in the mouths of January, February, August, 

 and September.
