Extract

The material comprises two immature females found in a baboon in Rhodesia. So far as I can gather from the available literature, they appear to be the first record of the genus Gigantorhynchus Hamann, 1892, emend. Yamaguti, 1963 in monkeys; moreover, they are a new locality record of this genus in Africa, since all the hitherto known species occur only in South America (Brazil, Venezuela and Peru).
