JIab. South Africa (? North of the Congo). 



This species is generally confounded in collections with the 

 preceding, but by attending to the differences so clearly pointed 

 out by Mr. Trimeu they may easily be separated. Ploetz states 

 that his type was from the Congo, and Mr. Trimen, upou the 

 authority of Gr. Geynet, gives the "Gaboon Elver" as a habitat. 

 I am inclined to question the correctness of the reference of this 

 species to these localities. I may be in error, but am inclined to 

 thiuk that it does not range further north than Angola on the 

 West Coast.
