[Synchloe glauconome, Klug. 



The type is said to have come from " Arabia deserta, 

 in Monte Sinai ad Erigeron denticulatum." 



Rothschild took it at Aswan and at Shendi [Lat. 16° 42' 

 N.]. Cholmley found it north of Suakin. Col. Yerbury 

 reported it as common and generally distributed in the 

 Aden district, the larva feeding upon Cleome paradoxa 

 [Nat. Ord. Capparidaceae]. 



I have taken it near Cairo, and found it commonly at 

 Port Sudan, but have no record for Khartum, or the 

 White Nile. 



Bingham states that it occurs in Persia, Baluchistan, 

 the Pamirs and the Panjab. The Hon. Walter Rothschild 

 tells me that it occurs on the Sahara. 



Aurivillius (1. p. 414) gives Somaliland on the authority 

 of Miss E. M. Sharpe (20. p. 528). In the same work (p. 497) 

 he indicates this as one of three Ethiopian species (the 

 other two being Acraea doubledayi, Guer., and Teracolus 

 chrysonome, Klug) which extend northward into the 

 Palaearctic province. However, I should regard glau- 

 conome as a Palaearctic species which just enters the north 

 of the Ethiopian province. 



Three males yielded a distinct sweet scent like that of 

 Freesia.] 



41. Calopieris eulimene, Klug. 



The types (both sexes) of this beautiful local and singular 

 butterfly came from Ambukol, a place in the Dongola 

 district, situated on the Nile just below Korti in Lat. 

 18° 4' N. 



In 1909 I took a single specimen, a male, at Burri, the 

 eastern suburb of Khartum, also seven other males at 

 Soba on the Blue Nile about twelve miles above Khartum. 

 In 1912 I took a female a little to the north of Soba 

 station on the east bank of the Blue Nile, and, a week later, 

 took three males and two females between that spot and 

 Khartiim. These were for the most part in poor condition. 



Mr. N. C. Rothschild took a single specimen at Shendi. 

 Mr. A. J. Cholmley took five in 1896 at Ambaia Erba, 

 north of Suakin. 



Mrs. Waterfield took several at Port Sudan during the 

 latter part of 1911 and the beginning of 1912, and I myself 

 during the last days of February and first days of March
