5. Precis cebrene, Trimen. 
Dunn took this species on the Bahr al-Zarafa, and Loat 
took two near Kosti [Lat. 13° 10’ N.]. 
In 1912 I distinctly saw this butterfly on a thorny bush 
at Ad-Duwém [Lat. 14° N.], also near Kanisa [lat. 6° 50’ 
vale 
Cholmley took a few at Ambaia Erba; Yerbury found 
it common at Aden; Grant in Sokotra, and Peel in Somali- 
land; it occurs also in Abyssinia. 
It is an abundant African species, being found throughout 
the whole of South Africa and at Lagos on the West Coast. 
The closely allied P. oenone, Hiibner, takes its place in 
the Oriental region. 
6. Precis clelia, Cramer. 
Taken by Dunn on the Bahr al-Zaraéfa and by Loat at 
Gondokoro. 
In 1912 I took single specimens at Hillet al-Nuwér [Lat. 
8° 13’], Gondoroko and Rejaf. 
Peel took it in Somahland; Yerbury took one specimen 
at Aden, while Bennett reported it as very common in the 
mountains of Sokotra. 
It is found throughout Central and South Africa as well 
as on the West Coast. 
7. Precis boopis, Trimen (= madagascariensis, Guenée). 
This was taken by Dunn on the Bahr al-Zarafa. In 
1912 I took a single example at Mongalla [Lat. 5° 12’ N.]. 
Though ranging over Central and South Africa this 
species is not so widely distributed as the two preceding. 
8. Hypolimnas misippus, Linné. 
Mr. H. H. King assured me that this interesting and 
widely-distributed species was not uncommon at Khartfim; 
it was also in a collection that he had received from the 
Bahr al-Ghazal. Dunn took it on the Bahr al-Zarafa. 
It is, however, quite certain that I did not see this very 
conspicuous insect during either of my visits to Khartim, 
or the White Nile. 
The Rothschild party did not see it, but Cholmley met 
with it at Ambaia Erba, and Yerbury found it commonly 
at Aden, noting that: “The females of this butterfly 
mimic all the forms of chrysippus.”
