IV. KOBUS (ONOTEAGUS) EOBEETSI. 



Cobus robertsi, Rothschild, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1907, p. 237 ; Lydelcker, 

 Game Animals of Africa, Suppl. p. 12, 1911. 



Typical locality district between Lakes Mweru and 

 Bangweolo, Northern Ehodesia. 



Type in Tring Museum. 



Stated to differ from typical lechwe by the presence of 

 black patches on sides of lower part of neck and fore portion 

 of shoulders, as well as by admixture of black hairs on 

 cheeks and sides of throat and neck. The horns are smaller 

 and less massive, with broader and more approximated 

 ridges. 



As this lechwe occurs in company with the true lechwe, 

 it must be regarded — if anything more than a melanistic 

 phase— as a species rather than a race.
