ucalegonides Stgr. has the median band more or less yellowish, beneath on the hindwing indistinctly defined and not sharply prominent; the discal spots of the forewing are very inconstant, so that sometimes one, sometimes the other is small or absent, the band being interrupted. In the central and southern districts of the Congo region. [of phrynon Druce, 1895] Forewing red-brown, a cream-coloured, broken spot near to the apex larger than in Graphium ucalegon-, a streak in the cell along the hindmargin and a long, angular spot in cellule 3, which almost reaches the margin, cream-coloured; a cream-coloured spot at the middle of the hindmargin in cellule 1 a and a large similar spot in lb; hindwing gold-brown with broad cream-coloured median band; hindwing beneath lighter than above, with black veins and dark red-brown basal area, but without light median band. This form (unknown to me) is perhaps only an aberration of ucalegonides in which the discal spots 2, 4 and 5 of the forewing are entirely wanting. — Upper Congo. [4]
