Two captured at Medje in June. This species is ordinarily not 

 common in collections, but we have recently received a very large series, 

 which Mr. A. I. Good informs me were part of a huge swarm which 

 passed a couple of years ago over Efulen in Cameroon, flying from the 

 north toward the south, in such numbers as to call for comment even 

 on the part of the natives.

This is a form of the preceding species in which the white patch on 

 the hind wing of A. pentapolis is replaced by red. Breeding experi- 

 ments made at Lagos by Lamborn have shown that the two forms emerge 

 in about equal numbers from the chrysalids reared from the same batch 

 of eggs. The collection contains one specimen taken at Medje, Sep- 

 tember 1, 1910.
