regard the (inrii-iUii f. of A. alcwpe as a subspecies, since 

 it occurs with the typical form in Cameroon as well as 

 in Uganda, and probably occasionally in the intervening 

 country. It is an interesting fact that at Entebbe, where 

 this is the usual form of % it habitually flies with the 

 Plancma which it so closely resembles, whilst the typical 

 $, which is much the commonest form in its western 

 range, also accompanies an entirely different Plancvia 

 which it appears to imitate. Uganda examples of A. 

 alciope $ seem often to have the black distal border in 

 the h.-w. broader than in more western specimens.
