96 Mr. H, Eltringham's Monogra-ph of the 



A. anemosa f. duhiosa, SufF. 



Five minute discal spots in li.-w. The author seems to suggest 

 that this may be a hybrid between aiieviosa and (idrvjera. Of 

 this I do not tliinli tliere is any evidence. Tliree examples 

 before me (from Mombasa) agree with Suffert's description. 

 The rj armature is in no respect different from that of anemosa. 



A. anemosa f. itfipana^ Strand. 



H.-w. border narrow as in arcticincta. A central transverse 

 band of three black spots in f.-w. The first on discocellulars, 

 the second beyond it in area 2, the third in lb. In area 3 

 beyond the discal spot, a round black spot the same size as 

 those in lb, and 2. The black basal area of f.-w. reaches the 

 middle of cell and is 9 mm. long. No white spots on li.-w. 

 border. 



There is a similar example in the Oxford Museum from the 

 Alala Plateau. 



A. anemosa f. ■nmngensis. 



Resembles f. interrupta, Thur., but the f.-w basal black is 

 much reduced, somewhat as in welwitschii, Rogenhofer, forming 

 a blackish streak in the upper half of cell. The h.-w. basal 

 black is also reduced. The discocellulars only indistinctly 

 dusted with black. At inner edge of marginal border of the 

 h.-w. underside there are seven or eight white spots enclosed 

 by crescentic red spots. This example is scarcely separable 

 from the $ of A. welwitschii lobemba. 



The early stages of anemosa anemosa are thus described 

 by Miss Fountaine (/. c.) — 



" This very handsome, extremely active little larva, 

 occurred very commonly at Macequece, on almost every 

 available piece of its food-plant, a creeper, identified at 

 the Board of Agriculture at Pretoria as (most probably) 

 Modecca ahyssinica. I first discovered it, in the usual way, 

 by watching a $ laying eggs ; these are laid in batches of 

 various sizes, some with about ten eggs together, others 

 having as many as twenty-five or even more. The larva 

 is very easy to rear, and feeds np very rapidly, and it 

 remains only about eight days in pupa ; but where the 

 difficulty conies in, is that the supply of its food-plant 

 should meet the demand, as it is a dark-coloured very 

 inconspicuous little creeper, most difficult to find, and 

 when a piece is discovered it is generally already sustain-
