Rlwpalocampta forestall, Watson, P, Z. S. 1893. 



The species is widely distributed in all the warm portions of the 

 continent south of the Sahara.

Hah. Madagascar, Eeunion. 



Mr. Kirby in his Supplement to his Synonymic Catalogue cites 

 Senegal as the habitat of this species. This is an error. The form 

 is very closely allied to Ii. forestan, and Mons. Mabille regards it 

 as probably merely an insular form of that species.

This species is very closely allied to ii!. forestan, from which it 

 may be distinguished by the different shape of the white band on 

 the underside of the secondaries, and the three black spots at the 

 inferior termination of this band.
