This species is a very well-marked form of the 'I\ aucco group, aud is distinguished, 

 as Mr. Uuy Marshall has pointed out, by the more rounded shape of the fore-wings. 

 Its range is well defined as regards North Eastern and Eastern Africa, and it is quite 

 probable that it may ultimately be found to extend throughout the Sudan to 

 Senegambia. At present the evidence for this extension of its western range 

 rests upon a couple of specimens in the British Museum, one labelled "Senegal," 

 and the other " West Africa " {Sir Gifberf Carter). 



As regards the ditierent phases, Mr. Guy Marshall writes : — " T. xanthevarne 

 represents the fullest development of the wet-season form, and approaches T. incretus ; 

 typical T. evarne is a little less strongly marked ; the specimens placed with T. sytinus
