Anncc' and Eupompe, Kl ag, recorded from Nortli-East Africa and 
Arabia. 
The typical $ presents some variation in tlie dusky-grey basal 
clouding, but in only one specimen (from KafFraria Proper) is there a 
marked diminution of it, and that in the fore-wings only. A $ from 
Damaraland approaches the individual just mentioned to some extent, 
and also presents a less developed and submacular border in the hind- 
wings. The latter peculiarity (approaching the Variety A.) occurs in 
an otherwise strongly-marked and very typical $ from the North-West 
Transvaal. The $ varies more in the development of the marginal 
blackish (which in the hind-wings of one KafFrarian example is so great 
as to obliterate entirely the usual white band or spots beyond the discal 
blackish series), and in the tint of the apical patch. In one example 
froin the North-West Transvaal this last feature is much suffused with 
fuscous, and the colour of the very diminished pale portion is very dull 
pale ochrey-yellowish. 
In Natal I only once fell in with this strikingly handsome butterfly, viz., 
on 23d February, about a hill-top near Yerulam, where two or three examples 
were flying rapidly about flowers. Mr, Goocli {Entomologist, 1880, p. 274) 
notes the capture of a fine series five miles inland from D'Urban.^ Colonel 
Bowker has sent but a few examples from the same neighbourhood ; but in 
former years he forwarded many fine specimens from the Bashee River in 
Kaffraria,^ and in 1873 dispatched to me the paired sexes captured at Fort 
Warden, on the west bank of the Kei. To the northward of the Transvaal, 
and in the Tropical belt beyond, as well as in Damaraland, the type-form and 
the variety appear to be both numerous.

^ Mr. A. D. Millar, in referring to some fine specimens taken in December 1887, 
informs me that during that month AnncB is plentiful in certain localities about D'Urban, 
but, as a rule, is restricted to those localities. He noted a ? laying eggs on a climbing 
plant. 
^ One of these specimens is very remarkable, as exhibiting to some extent the characters 
of both sexes. The ground-colour is as white as usual in the S ; the basal clouding is 
irregularly but for its larger part made grey, as in the $ , by close white scaling ; the 
border of the hind- wings is like that of the S , but the discal row of black spots as in the 
? ; and, finally, while the left apical patch is coloured and marked as in the 9 , the right 
one is (except for the narrow strip above subcostal nervule) entirely like that in the S .
