NOVITATES 2oOLOGICAB XXVlI. 19^0. 453 



The nape is much darker in one specimen, and a specimen from Salamona 

 (G. Schrader leg.), as well as another from Mulu (Saphiro leg.), have it quite as 

 dark as the one of Neumann's two specimens. The wing of one is shorter, that 

 of the other not. In no case were two specimens sufficient to establish such a 

 closely allied subspecies, and we must await further material from the Omo, 

 whenever that may come, to establish Neumann's " omoensis." (A series collected 

 by Dr. van Someren' seems to confirm omoensis, but we shall hear more about 

 this from him before long.)
