The range of the species beyond South Africa is not clearly known, but as 

 it occurs ((J of continuous-banded marking, and $ of Ilippocoon-Vika form) at 

 Zanguebar and Zanzibar, it is not improbable that it is native to the inter- 

 veni°ig country north of Delagoa Bay. ]\Iany years ago I noted a ^ Meropc, 

 brought by Mv. II. Waller from ^Nlouiit jMorambala, on the Kiver Shire, an 

 important lower tributary of the Zambesi, but did not record whether it agreed 

 with the more Southern examples.
