Zambia: Barotse- land: Siholi Mission (FMNH 134259). Rhodesia: Bulawayo: (FMNH 121816). Remarks. The specimen from Zambia differs from the others in its color pattern (transverse dark spots, light belly) and its high number of ventrals (168 instead of 144 in the only other female here con- sidered). While it probably belongs to the species, it pro\es at least a geographical xariation, but we have no clue to decide if a dine or a sul)species is involved. 1893, Island Stern- Zentral 1913, in 4: 363, Lycopliidion depressirosfre sp. n.
