74 Dr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera from Nyasa. 



in India the species produces two dry-season forms — B. iUihyia 

 and B. simplex'^. But the question most difficult of explana- 

 tion, as it seems to me, is — How can two forms be called 

 seasonal when they occur at the same season ?

Mr. Crawshay evidently supposed the bright-coloured sex 

 to be the male, and labelled accordingly ; in this, of course, 

 he was mistaken.

 localities frequented by T. anax ; the latter flies in January, 



* Most of our examples of the latter, if not aU, were captm'ed in 

 Fehruary. I am told, however, that the seasonal forms in India are less 

 marked than in Afiica.
