96 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



A. anemosa f. dubiosa, SufF. 



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

 that this may be a hybrid between anemosa and astrigera. Of 

 this I do not think there is any evidence. Three examples 

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

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



A. anemosa f. ujipana, Strand. 



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

 band of tliree 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 h.-w. 

 border. 



There is a similar example in the Oxford Museum from the 

 Alala Plateau. 



A. anemosa f. urimgensis. 



Eesembles f. interrtipta, 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 5 of A. tvelivitschii 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 esfo^s toojether, others 

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

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

 remains only about eight days in pupa ; but where the 

 difficulty comes 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-
