Anthrax doliops Hesse form

Material examined. 1♀, Kaokoland , Ondorusu Falls, SE 1713 Bd, 23–26.viii.1973, H18841 ; 1♂, Namaskluft 88, SE2716 Dd, 7–15.x.1970 H10234 .

Notes. These two specimens have a reduced wing pattern but run to A. doliops in Hesse’s (1956) key. It appears that there is one widespread and variable species and that some of Hesse’s (1956) species differing in detail only may be synonyms. See also comments in Greathead (2003).
