the evidence afforded by several species of the germs, I am inclined to 

 think that the typical T. regina, with greatly-reduced dark markings 

 and more or less reddish-tinged underside, and the large anacc form 

 (including my T.regina, var. A), with strongly-developed dark mark- 

 ings and white or creamy-white underside, will turn out to be 

 respectively dry-season and wet-season broods of the same species.

Seven males and three females from Mineni Valley, and one 

 female from Vunduzi River. The paired sexes were taken on 6th 

 March. 



The males exhibit considerable variation in the development of 

 the black markings on the upperside of the wings, especially in the 

 longitudinal bars, which in two specimens are narrow and faint, 

 and in another represented by sparse scaling only. One of those of 

 normally strong black marking on the upperside is wanting alto- 

 gether in the usual black neuration on the underside, in this respect 

 approaching the very closely-allied T. achine (Cram.). A female 

 also exhibits almost complete failure of the black neuration on the 

 underside.

A single male, in fine condition, taken on the Lower Pungwe

 the only specimen he noticed ; it was settling on herbage.

 single specimen collected by Dr. E. Zintgraff at Baliburg, interior
