 Schmett., XIII, p. 16, PI. iii6. 



Thirty-one specimens, including a couple of females. One male is 

 somewhat aberrant, having the pale bands yellowish, not white as is 

 usual. The specimens were mostly taken at Medje, a few in April, 

 the rest from Jul}' to Septenilier inclusive, although several are ticketted 

 as caught both at Medje and Niangara in November. 



A number of the males have a small white spot at the end of the 

 cell of the fore wing, as is always the case with the females, and there- 

 fore belong to the so-called "Variety," to which Suffert has given the name 

 Papilio nobicea (Nomen vix conservandum) .

There are four specimens, one caught at Medje in July, the others 

 at Niangara in November. Thej" are all more or less defective, rubbed, 

 and lacking antenna?.

 Papilio gallienus Distant, 1879, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 649. 



There is a small army of specimens which I refer to this species, 

 although the males have the transverse light bands of the wings on the 

 upper side narrower than is shown in the figure given by Aurivillius (cf. 

 Seitz, XIII, PI. i). The females agree more nearly with the figure cited, 

 and indeed this figure may represent the female. The author has un- 

 fortunately failed to indicate in the text or on the plate what sex his 

 figure represents. 



I count one hundred and twelve specimens of this species, mostly 

 taken at Medje, or near by, at Gamangui, Bafwasende, and Bafwaboli. 

 A few were caught in April, but the great majority were captured in 

 July, August, and September.
