Brava in South Somali-land. 



This species is, as far as we yet know, exclusively East- African. 

 The type came from the Umba river in the interior, and is I believe 

 the only other specimen known. South of the Zambesi it is repre- 

 sented by the closely allied M. canorus.

 read Limpopo as its southern known Hmit in Eastern Africa.
