by Pocock in Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 6, 17, p. 380. 
Distribution : Only recorded from Cape Town and its immediate neigh- 
bourhood.

This species was taken in " Caft'raria by Wahlberg and has not been 
recorded by more recent workers. It would seem to be a very distinct 
species, though related to carinatus.

Distribution : Grreat Namaland and Damaraland (Kraepelin, 12), Umfuli 
Eiver, Mashonaland {Pocock, 7), Tette (British Museum), Angola (Dr. 
Ansorge), Victoria Falls (Rhodesian Museum), North-East Rhodesia (Hirst, 
24) ; we have it from Serowe, Bechuanalaud Protectorate (S. Blackbeard) and 
Tsessebe Siding, Tati (E. C. Wilmot). Mr. Pocock (7) records it from Durban, 
but I suspect some error in this record ''' ; at any rate the species is not known 
from that neighbourhood to Mr. E. C. Chubl), of the Durban Museum ; 
the British Museum has a specimen labelled Estcourt (G. A. K. Marshall). 
The Transvaal Museum has this species from Yygeboompoort, Waterberg 
District (Gr. van Dam). The pectinal teeth, according to Kraepelin, vary 
from 22-29 in the male and from 20-27 in the female ; our male from 
Angola has 31-32. In his key to the species of this genus, Pocock (7) dis- 
tinguished hetweeu pla)ii)n coins and carinatus in the character of the median 
lateral keel of the fourth caudal segment, which he described as a1)sent in 
inlanimamis but distinct in carinatus ; this character, as Kraepelin has 
noticed, can no longer be utilised, for some forms of carinatus are quite 
* Mr. Gruy Marshall, who collected the specimens of this species and of mawshalli, 
writes that he does not doubt the accuracy of the locality record.
