,

borders, Kivu Province.
2. With regard to the locality of F3233.1624,
Brindle (1966c: 46)
states ‘This species was incorrectly recorded by the late Dr. W.D. Hincks in 1955 as
V. schubotzi
,
on a series from the Rugege Forest,
Ruanda
. Only a pair from this series is now available, but these clearly belong to the present species.’
