Both this species and its northern ally are probably the result of a western emigration of some of the ancestors of L. malaharicus. The Dark-flanked Wattled Lapwing appears to be confined to Africa south of the Equator. I have an example from Angola collected by Anchieta; Monteiro found it in Benguela (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 90); I have skins from Damara-Land collected by Andersson ; in the Cape Colony it is recorded by Layard from Port Elizabeth, and Ayres met with it in the Transvaal (Ibis, 1873, p. 283). My friend Graham Hutchinson found it in Swasiland, sometimes in long grass, but more often among the mimosa-thorn bushes on the sandy plains ; he remarked its constant habit of bowing its head when not running about. Kirk records it from the Zambesi (Ibis, 1864, p. 331), where it has since been found by Holub (Beitr. Oru. Siidafr. p. 240); and Bohra obtained it at Gonda west of Zanzibar (Journ. Orn. 1885, p. 39).. Diagnosis. LOBIVANELLUS MEL ANOCEPH ALUS. BiiPPELL'S WATTLED LAPWING. LoBivANELLUs hallucc nullo : rectricum fascia nigrS, subterminali aagustS, (baud 25 millim.). Variations.
