Tliis is distingiii-slied from tlie other Ethiopian species of 

 Batozonus by tiie great distance between the point of origin 

 of the cubitus of the hind wing and the transverse median 

 iiervure. The female in tropical Africa always has the winus 

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

 antenna? 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 King 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 

 Atrica 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. unifasciatuSy Sm.
