370 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIX. 1922. 



Three adult males from Sierra Leone in the Tring Museum and other specimens 

 in the British Museum differ from a series from Kamerun, Gabun, and the Lower 

 Congo, which I look upon as typical A. gracilis (type N. Angola) in having the 

 abdomen brighter and more greenish, the throat in contrast more greyish. Wings 

 70, 72, 72 mm. 



A series from the Lower Niger (Ansorge leg.) appear to be the same race, 

 though some approach A. gracilis gracilis.
