 Proc. Zool. Soc, 1910 :— 



Danaida chrysippus, L. — iL A common insect everywhere, 

 but prefers open country and avoids very dense forest. The 

 specimens are mostly of the type form with occasional indi- 

 viduals tending to var. alcippus, Cram. I saw one specimen 

 of the dorippus, Klug, form in the mid-Chambezi Valley in 

 May, and found it not uncommon a few miles above the 

 mouth of the Lofu river, near Lake Tanganyika, hut did not 

 meet with it to the south of these localities " (p. 7). 



Ac nica encedon, L. — " I took this everywhere. The type 

 form is perhaps the commonest, though not much more 

 so than daira, Godm. and Salv. The lycia, Fabr., form 

 occurs rarely in Katanga and more commonly in the valleys 

 of the Kalungwisi and Lofu rivers in N.E. Rhodesia " 

 (p. 27). 



Mimacraea marshalli, Trim. — " I took about twenty indi- 

 viduals of this fine species in the Lualaba Valley, iv. and v.. 

 and one other later in the year, x. I also saw a few indi- 

 viduals in the Chambezi Valley, iv. and v. These Central 

 African specimens seem to be slightly more heavily marked 

 than those from Mashonaland. I found its habits and the 

 nature of its habitat very much as Marshall describes,* but 

 did not observe it settling head downwards on the trunks as 

 he records. ... I was lucky enough to capture, on more 

 than one occasion, both this species and Pseudacraea poggei 

 as well as their model Li tunas chrysippus within a. few yards 

 of each other" (p. 42). Mr. Neave's photograph of the 

 insect at rest, reproduced on p. 42, was taken in the Chambezi 

 Valley. 



Hypolinmas misippus, L. — " Occurs everywhere during the 

 wet season, but is nowhere abundant, especially in Katanga, 

 though fair numbers of males are sometimes seen. The 

 typical and inaria forms of female seem to occur in about 

 equal proportions" (p. 31).
