We have specimens of this species received by Mr. Moore from 

 Kutch ; it occurs also at Kurrachee, and, on account of its affinity 

 to A, ubaldus, has been recorded under the latter name. 



Col. Swinhoe has specimens of the allied Abyssinian species 

 A. sigillata collected at Aden in January and February.

1 In his notes on Aden Butterflies Major Yerbury refers to two species. I 

 only found one specimen (from Huswah) among his Aden specimens, and the 

 note to this states that it is the only one ever seen ; the specimens from 

 Haithalkim are probably the same, however.
