SI: Figure 23a – d. Forewing length: male 43.5 – 51.5 mm [mean ( n = 12) 47.30 mm , SD = 1.954]; female 51.5 – 58.5 mm [mean ( n = 7) 54.59 mm , SD = 1.793]. van Someren (1971 , p. 187) gave male forewing length as 44 – 49 mm , female as 50 – 55. Records Kielland (1990 , p. 98) states that C. c. flavifasciatus is found in northern and eastern parts of Tanzania , in woodlands, forests and coastal shrubland, at altitudes up to 2000 m , with its range said to include the ‘ Kilimanjaro area ’ ( van Someren 1971 , p. 188) . The only certain material we have located comprises three males from Taveta collected by Rogers at c . 2500 ft , April and May 1905 ( OUMNH ) . Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna . More widely this east African subspecies extends northwards into Kenya , and south as far as Natal and Transvaal . The nominate subspecies extends widely throughout central and western Africa , and to the north in Ethiopia (which may represent a separate taxon); local endemic insular races occur on Grand Comore and Pemba ( Ackery et al. 1995 , p. 437) .
