I have seen many examples of this species from Natal and from Zulu Land, and 

 others from the Transvaal and Bechuana Land, which appear to be identical with 

 those from Natal. L)r. Trirnen mentions that specimens from Matabele Land, from 

 the Zambesi, and from Damara Land vary somewhat from the typical form, but I 

 have not myself seen any specimens from these localities, and I am unable to 

 pronounce an opinion on the subject. 



Dr. Trimen does not allow that T. huxloni is distinct ft'om T. phleyi/us. He 

 writes: — "The typical T. p/i/ef/fja-s inhabits the Soudan (White Nile) and Abyssinia, 

 and the variety 7'. /jit.vloni is known to inhabit the tropical belt from the Zambesi 

 southward, and on the eastern side to penetrate as far as the Transvaal and 

 Swazi Land. I have not seen any but red-tipped females referable to this species. 

 Westwood's figures [op. cit.) are somewhat larger and more strongly marked than any 

 specimen I have seen, and indeed than, from his own description, would appear to 

 have been among Mr. Oates's examples. The late Mr. E. C. Buxton sent me 

 coloured photographs of Swazi Land specimens of the butterfly." 



Dr. Butler, in his latest revision, says : — " The wet-season form of this local 

 representative of T. pJde/ji/as comes nearer to T. ione, only the male has a very strongly 

 defined blackish stripe across the nn^der surface of the secondaries ; the female has 

 the sub-apical white spots, small and greyish in colouring and the basal area very 

 dark, whilst the bar on the secondaries is more strongly marked and the spots of the 

 marginal border extend further up the nervures. This is the T. iiafa/ciisis of 

 Staudinger. 



" The dry-season form is represented by T. /ju.vloni, of which we only possess a pair 

 in the general series, but of which there are four others in the Hewitson Collection. 

 In this form the iipper surface of the male resembles that of the wet-season type of 

 71 phli-i/ijdfi, but the female nearly approaches the dry-season form of the same." 



I have already referred to Mr. Cruy Marshall's opinion on the species under the 

 heading of T. pliler/i/ns.
