1896. ] FROM NYASA-LAND. 127 
T. regina does not come to hand from Central Africa. The collection 
made by Emin Pasha contained half a dozen examples of 7. anax, 
but not one of Z. regina; Mr. Crawshay’s first collection, from 
Lake Mweru, contained one female 7. anax and his present col- 
lection contains one male, again 7’. anax; but perhaps this form 
is the only one in Central Africa, and typical 7. regina is only 
produced, as a second form, as the species ranges southwards.

This form seems so rare that it may well be mistaken for 
T. phlegyas ; im all probability it is the Nyasa form of that species.

Mr. Trimen (South African Butterflies, iii. p. 135) says :— 
“ Having examined the types of subvenosus, Butl., from Victoria 
Nyanza, I find the female inseparable from that of 7. gavisa, while 
the mile, though very near the corresponding sex of the species 
named, differs in wanting the inner black edging of the apical 
patch, and in the feeble development of the inner marginal blackish 
bar of the fore wings and the costal one of the hind wings.” 
Although I do not admit that the type of J’. subvenosus agrees 
absolutely with the typical female of 7. gavisa, inasmuch as the 
oblique subapical bar on the front wings is much narrower in the 
latter, 1 am compelled by the receipt of many transitional specimens 
to agree with Mr. ‘Trimen that my female is only aslight variety of 
Wallengren’s, and, moreover, that my male is only a better-marked 
variety, though absolutely inseparable as a species. The series 
received from Dr. Gregory, taken in conjunction with the five 
examples in the present collection, renders the discrimination of 
the two forms 7’. gavisa and 7. subvenosus simply hopeless. 
Unless 7. hero is another variety of Z. gavisa (which I think 
possible), Iam of opinion that the female of 7. sipylus would be 
better placed under T. hero than under 7. gavisa, the black veining 
of the under surface being barely noticeable; the whole of these 
forms might then sink under 7. achine, T. hyperides being included 
as a starved form, though in some respects it more nearly resembles 
1’. helle=a race of T. antevippe.
