This handsome species is not uncommon but decidedly local. 

 It occurs only in the Congo basin, and does not appear to cross 

 the Congo-Zambezi watershed. It frequents a particular type of 

 woodland where there is large timber and numerous thickets, 

 the sort of spot where the rubber- vine is plentiful. The wet- 

 season form, pavonina Butler, is on the wing longer than that of 

 the preceding species, occurring up to the end of March. 



Catacroptera cloanthe Cram. 



A ubiquitous species, on the wing at all seasons. 



Salamis anacardii nebulosa Trim. 



A single specimen captured in the mid-Luangwa valley, viii. 



Salamis parhassus ^thiops Pal. 



Occurs throughout the country in the neighbourhood of forest, 

 and is on the wing at all seasons. 



Salamis temora Feld. 



Lualaba valley, 1 S , 16.iv.07. 

 The only specimen met with. 



Hypolimnas misippus L. 



Occurs everywhere during the wet season but is nowhere 

 abundant, especially in Katanga, though fair numbers of males 

 are sometimes seen. The typical and inaria forms of the female 

 seem to occur in about equal proportions. 



Hypolimnas anthedost Dbl. 



I found this a very rare insect, and captured only a single 

 worn specimen in the Luangwa valley, xi. Subsequently I met 

 with one or two specimens on the Lualaba river, v., and on 

 the Kalungwisi river, xi. 



Eurytela dryope Cram. 



A common and ubiquitous insect, confined however to shady 

 spots on stream banks, patches of forest, etc. 



Eurytela hiarbas Drury. 



A single specimen from the Lubucli river, x. 



Ergolis enotr^ea Cram. 



Represented in the collection by a single specimen collected on 

 the Lubudi river, x.
