Remarks. — The three subspecies of Granatina ianthinogastra 
are represented in the material before me by fifty specimens, 
obtained at localities ranging from Northern Abyssinia south 
to the plains east of Mount Kilimanjaro and w T est to the Sotik 
District of British East Africa. Series of topotypes of each 
form are included in this collection, the greater part of which

The salient differences in the three forms of Granatina 
ianthinogastra are shown on p. 187.
