The species group inhabits wooded savanna and open forest through much of Uganda and widely in E and C Africa. Set- zer (1956) questioned the ability of nilotica to cross to both banks of the Nile in NW Uganda and Su- dan; Hollister (1918) (ignoring tarella) thought the Victoria Nile a boundary between nilotica and zao- don, but reported S Sudan specimens called zaodon east of the White Nile. There seems a considerable gap between specimens from Kampala area {tarella I zaodon) and those near Mt Elgon {kempi). Fig. 66 dis- plays the Ugandan distribution. Western. Bundibugyo (AMNH); Butiaba (USNM, Hollister 1918); Hoima (USNM, FMNH); Kibale (LACM); Masindi (BMNH); Mwela (LACM); Ntandi (LACM); crater track Rwenzori N P (KMB, Hoffmann, in htt. 1999). Southern. Byumba 1540 m (FMNH); Kagamba (BMNH, Dollman 1915); Kichwamba (BMNH); Kiduha (BMNH); Kigezi (BMNH); Mbarara (BM- NH); Nalasanji (BMNH); Ngoto 1500 m (FMNH). S Buganda. Bufumira I.
