Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 18:144 . TYPE LOCALITY: Uganda , Mubuku Valley, Ruwenzori East, 7000 ft . DISTRIBUTION: Montane forest islands from WC Angola , extreme E Zaire , Uganda W Rwanda , and Kenya through Tanzania to NE Zambia . SYNONYMS: anselli, endorobae , vulcanorum. COMMENTS: The species was superficially reviewed by Hatt (1940a) and more thoroughly by Bishop (1979) . The records of H. carillus from Chitau and Hanha in WC Angola ( Hill and Carter, 1941:98 ) are based on examples of H. denniae . additional samples (in the Field Museum of Natural History) were collected in the same region on Mt. Moco and Mt. Soque. Although a long way west from the nearest records of H. denniae , most morphological characteristics of the Angolan series fall within the range of variation among samples now defined as H. denniae . That variation, however, is appreciable, especially in body size, and its significance in determining whether one or more species is present in what is now regarded as denniae has to be assessed by systematic revision.
