Hindwing with white area, which is variable in extent. 



Some of the S])ecimens (c?(? and ? ?) possess a white subapical macular band 

 on the forewing, which is especially distinct on the underside. These spots 

 occur also in /'. /di/gi (see Poulton, Trans. Ent. Soc. Land. 1902. t. 1.5. f. 1. la), 

 being in some of our individuals rjuite plainly visible also above.

Danaida chrifsippus cannot be generically separated from the American giUppm 

 and berenice, Limims being a synonym pure and simple of Tasitia.

Aurivillius, I.e., queries the validity of the name petiverana, considering it 

 to be a nondescript. Though there is indeed no descriijtion given by Doubleday 

 and Westwood, I.e., the name must nevertheless stand, since the authors refer 

 to their plate 12. fig. 1 as representing the " vsx. petiverana" from "Africa."
