SI: Figure 15a–h. Forewing length: male 24.0–27.0 mm (mean ( n = 5) 25.52 mm , SD = 0.409); female 23.0– 26.5 mm (mean ( n = 5) 24.52 mm , SD = 1.003). Records. This subspecies, endemic to Tanzania , is described as very local in open bush and semi-desert areas in northern and central areas, east to Morogoro ( Kielland 1990 , p.58). Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna based on several specimens from Kilimanjaro , Taveta and Loitokitok in the BMNH, and numerous specimens from Taveta and the “ Tanga –Moshi railway” in OUMNH. Recorded from Taveta (as Teracolus leo ) by Butler (1888 , p.92) and Rogers (1913 , p.98). More widely, other subspecies of C. halimede occur to the north of Tanzania , from Nigeria to Libya , Arabia, Ethiopia , Somalia and Kenya . Females are polymorphic in ground colour, white, yellow and piebald. The white form “acaste” (SI: Figure 15e) is represented in the BMNH by a very heavily marked specimen from Loitokitok, collected by Jackson in 1905.
