Bands broad and black as a rule, variable, the discal one (second ontside cell) 

 olivaceous or ochraceous. The specimens from Somalilaud and Abyssinia belong to 

 this subspecies. The distinctions between cam. camillus and ram. stiblineatus are not 

 constant. In some of our specimens of mhUneatim the bands are partly obliterated. 

 Tlie SS have on tiie whole darker bands than the ? ?.

The Continental specimens differ from Malagasic ones in the white patches 

 of the forcwing and the wliite baud of the hindwing being decidedly more 

 restricted, and the black submarginal spots of the hindwing being larger.

 wing appearing more obtuse. The wliite band of fore- and hindwing much

 vein M just at the point of origin of M'. 



Length of forewing : 21 mm.

The species occurs all over Africa south of the Sahara. It has not developed 

 into subsjiecies, but it is individually variable. The South African specimens have 

 the white band on the whole narrower than tropical ones.
