The spécimens from Atene are most riifous looking, but some from 

 Tua are similar. The rings of the hairs on the head are in some 

 spécimens paler vellow in others more buff, but this is without 

 importance as being quite individual. 



As I hâve formerlv stated (^) the existence of this species at 

 Mukimbungu, it appears to extend its distribution to I,ower Congo 

 and the districts near the coast.

There is a very large séries of spécimens from diflerent localities 

 within the district of Lake Leopold II which agrée with Matschie's 

 description of this subspecies. Very characteristic is the maize 

 yellow (Ôberthur 36) to buff (309. i) nasal spot, and the practicallv 

 absent black brow-band, as thèse features form such a contrast to 

 the white nasal spot and the broad black brow-band of the true 

 ascanius, which appears to live partly within the same district. 

 The colour of the upper side of the tail is somewhat variable, but 

 usually it is like the back proximallv, then more or less maroon 

 on the middle, and blackish at the end. The lower cheek stripe of 

 this race is not strong, bv far not as in the tvpical form, and the 

 anterior dilatation at the sides of the nasal spot is not much pro- 

 nounced, sometimes not at ail, and sometimes only as a shadow.
