Abstract:The B. O. C. Ruwenzori expedition of 1906 brought home a single immature female of this species, obtained in a papyrus swamp near Lake George, and to Ogilvie-Grant's discrimination we owe the recognition of its specific distinction from galactotes, the species it so closely resembles in coloration, and which is certainly carruthersis nearest ally.
