Five new Rhinoloplu /?-o?n Africa. 387 



cingula of these latter in immediate contact internally ; left 

 jt?3 wanting, without any trace of the alveolus. 



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

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



Distribution. — Besides the type specimen 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 i^/^^«c»foJt?/^^', tlie true atfinifcies of this interesting 

 species are somewhat obscure. I have compared it with 

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

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

 that species. The totally different skull and dentition prove 

 that it, in fact, has nothing to do with R/i. capensis, but, 

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

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

 other species ; Rli. Landeri, lohatus, and Denti may, apart 

 from many other differences, at once be distinguished by 

 their very narrow sella.
