(99) 25a. Mycalesis vulgaris tolosa (Plootz) 

 Mycalesis tolosa Plcetz, 1880, Stett. Ent. Zeit., XLI, p. 197. 



This is the dry-season form of this species, and is characterized by 

 having the ocelli well developed and not reduced to mere points, as is 

 the case in typical M. vulgaris. It is the prevailing form in the region 

 of the Ogove River, in Cameroon, and in the Belgian Congo. In spite 

 of its name, typical M. vulgaris is not very common in collections, so far 

 as my observations show. 



Of the variety tolosa (Ploetz) the collection upon which I am report- 

 ing contains three males and eight females. One female was taken at 

 Medje in July, one at Lubila in September, three at Niangara in Nov- 

 ember, and three at Farad je in December. One of the males was caught 

 at Niangara in November, and the other two at Faradje in December.
