The records of H. carillus from Chitau and Hanha in WC Angola (Hill and Carter, 1941:98) are based upon examples of what we identify here as H. denniae; additional samples (in FMNH) were collected in the same region on Mt Moco and Mt Soque. Although far west from the nearest records of H. denniae, most morphological characteristics of the Angolan series fall within the range of variation am...
