This is distinguished from the other Ethiopian species of 

 Batozonus by the great distance between the point of origin 

 of the cubitus of the hind wing and the transverse median 

 nervure. The female in tropical Africa always has the wings 

 black flushed with blue, the abdomen entirely black, and the 

 antenuse varying from yellow to black. But the typical 

 form figured by Klug has the wings yellow-brown with a 

 fuscous margin and a dull yellow band at the base of the 

 second dorsal segment ; this is the Saharan form, having 

 been described by Klug from Dongola ; it was also obtained 

 by Wollaston from Sal Island in the Cape Verde Group, 

 though the usual tropical form was described by Kirby from 

 St. Vincent in the western part of the same group. The 

 ground-colour of the male abdomen varies from black to dull 

 ferruginous. The species seems to range over the whole of 

 Africa except the extreme north, and is represented in 

 Madagascar by the nearly allied B. madecassus, Sauss. In 

 India it is replaced by the allied B. unifasciatus, Sm.
