Extract

The observations here recorded have been made between April and October 1940, at Amani, Tanganyika Territory.

Two distinct varieties of Helopeltis occur on cinchona at Amani, which correspond well with the descriptions of H. bergrothi, Reut. var. rubrinervis, Popp., and H. bergrothi var. disciger, Popp. (Poppius, 1911).
