 4. Baorîs zeìleri, Lkd. 



This handsome species which is undoubtedly closely 

 related to Baori.s Ivjibonica var. /îo///, Obth. from Algeria 

 and Andalusia and to typical B. borbonica IVoni Tropi- 

 cal Africa, occurs in at least two broods — m. V — VII and 

 VÏII — IX in well watered and — preferably — shady 

 places. It is probably often mistaken when on the wing 

 for C mnthids or for large females of (i.nostra({(nnus.

 being rapid and its activity in the net untowaid — from
