COMMENTS: In the original description, Neumann designated as the type a specimen in the Rothschild Collection with the above data, and gave the range as the country west of Lake Albert Edward. There are two additional specimens in AMNH collected by Grauer in the same locality, and they are considered paratypes: AMNH 722813 About AMNH (Grauer no. 2064), female, 17 February 1908 ; AMNH 722814 About AMNH (2038), male [immature], 14 February 1908. I did not find AMNH 722813 in the collection .
