 Papilio pelarga Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent., p. 513. 



Precis pelarga Aurivillius, 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 223. 



Of this well-known species there are twenty-three specimens in the 

 collection. One male was caught at Gamangui in February; two males 

 were taken at Medje in August and a female at the same place in July; 

 eight males and eight females were captured at Niangara in November ; 

 and there are two males and one female labelled as taken at Faradje 

 "1911-1912."

Papilio leodice Cramer, 1777, Pap. Exot., II, p. 64, PI. cxxxviii, figs. G, H. 

 Precis leodice AvniviLLivs, 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 223. 



There are eighty-eight specimens of this species or form, nine females 

 and seventy-nine males; all were caught at Niangara in November, 

 except one female, which was taken at Medje in August. Auiivillius 

 regards it as being the dry-season form of pelarga (Fabricius). 



(135) 6. Kallimula harpyia (Fal)ricius) 

 Papilio harpyia Fabricius, 1781, Spec. Ins., II, p. 104.

The collection contains sixty specimens, forty-four males and six- 

 teen females, all of which were captured at Niangara in November, 

 except two males which were caught at Medje in August. According to 

 Aurivillius this is an aberrant dry-season form of pelarga.

This insect, formerly included in the genus Precis, is indeed verj- 

 closely related to the latter, but may easily be distinguished by its larger 

 size, its robust form, and somewhat hirsute appearance, not to mention 

 certain other minute anatomical differences which exist in both the imago 

 and the larva. There is but one species, C. doanthe (Cramer), of which 

 two local races have been recognized b}' authors, one which is spread 

 over the eastern and southern portions of the continent, to which the 

 name given by Cramer strictly applies, the other C. cloanthe ligata 

 Rothschild and Jordan, which according to the.sc authorities is the north- 

 western race and extends from Senegal to Togo. The American ]\Iu- 

 seum Congo E^^pedition brought back a small series of specimens which
