Africa). Considering tlie numerous collections vvliicli we 

 have received from all parts of East Africa, it seems a little 

 strange that not one example of this species should have been 

 received ; it almost makes one inclined to wonder whether 

 theCierman localities are authentic. If Staudinger's illustra- 

 tion is correctj the species he figures is not only destitute of 

 tails, but differs utterly in the tint of the orange patch on the 

 secondaries ; whether African or not, it must be a distinct 

 species from the common and well-known Indian tj^pe, and I 

 would suggest that it should be called T. ecaudata.
