A single specimen was obtained by Mr. ^V. Da}' of tlie unfortnuate Clarke 

 Expedition on the Clyde River, witliin a few miles of the frontier between British 

 and German New Guinea. 



The same collection contained also GonyocejJ/alus pajjucnsis (McL.), Lyf/osoma 

 miiUeri (Schleg.), Lygosoma macrurmn (Gtnr.), Li/gosoma cijanurum (Less.), 

 Li/gosoma jobiense (Meyer), Gymnodactylm louisadensis (De Vis), Hyla dolichopsh 

 (Cope).

ALTHOUGH I agree with Dr. K. Jordan (see p. 62) that the difference in colom- 

 and pattern of the hindwings of speciosa (Drury), undidifei'a (Wlk.), and 

 8id)retmcta (Wlk.) is of no importance whatever in respect to specific or subspecifie 

 distinctness of these forms, I am not certain whether this species of Ar/anais couUl 

 not be separated in two subspecies, one inhabiting West Africa from Sierra Leone to 

 Angola, and the other occurring in South and East Afi-ica. In the male sex, tlie 

 South and East African specimens seem to me to be distinguishable from West 

 African examples by the presence of a white band on the underside of the forewings 

 outside the cell ; this band runs from the costa mostly as far as the second median 

 nervule. In West African individuals the baud is either absent, or slightly marked 

 behind the costal margin. .My series of West and East African nudeK is not hirge 

 enough to decide if this distinguishing character holds good, 



AMien writing the note on the varieties of A. speciosa on p. 62 I was not aware 

 that in the December number of Entomolorjische Nachrichten p. 369. t. IV. f. 5 (1895) 

 Karsch described and figured that form of ab. imdidifera which has ochraceous 

 hindwings as a new species, Pseudhypsa baumanniana. 



Add to the four aberrational names this as fifth : — 



5. Hindwings ochraceous, with black border: ab. haumanniawi (Karsch).
