 4. Acraea disjuucta sp. nov. 



Male. — Uppersidc : dark browu. Anterior wiugs with a pale tawny liund 

 crossing the wings as in A. cijdonia Ward, b\jt divided between the two upper 

 median uervnles by a blackish brown irregular band which partially covers the 

 interspace between the two iijjper median nervules, but is narrower than in A. 

 cydonia and A. _fi(ica Dewitz. Posterior wings with the basal three-fourths pale 

 brown and dusky at the base, the outer fourth dusky dark brown. 



Underside : with the pale tawny band on the anterior wiugs indistinct, and 

 divided by the dark brown bar as on the npperside. Posterior wings dull brown, 

 with the disc crossed by a very indistinct ])aler area; seven minute spots in the basal 

 area, of which one is in the cell, two above and four below it. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inches. 



Ilab. Nandi country, December 1896 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Nearest to A. cijdonia and A.Jkim, but smaller than either of those species. 



5. Acraea ansorgei sp. nov. 



Female. — Upperside : anterior wings dark browu, with a rather bright tawny 

 band from the costa crossing the end of the cell, thence becoming wider to the 

 inner margin, and below the lowest median nervule extending outwardly to the outer 

 angle, and inwardly, below the submedian nervure, nearly to the base: towards the 

 apex is a bright tawny sjjot near the costa, divided into three by the veins, and a 

 quadrate spot above the upper median nervule nearer the outer margin. Posterior 

 wings bright tawny, becoming dusky at the base. 



Underside : dusky pale brown, with the transverse tawny band indistinct, 

 beyond which is a broad brownish black irregular band crossing the wiugs obliquely 

 from the costa at the end of the cell to the middle median nervule, where it ter- 

 minates some distance from the outer margin; the snbapical spots beyond it are 

 indistinct. Posterior wings with the disc crossed by an indistinct irregularly 

 undulated dusky brown band, inside which but outside the cell are two small black 

 spots, a similar spot in the middle of the cell, two in the interspace above the sub- 

 costal nervure, one on the shoulder, and six or seven others near the inner margin 

 below the base of the cell. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inches.

0. Acraea conjuncta sp. nov. 



Female. — Upperside : both wings dull brown. Anterior wings with a trans- 

 verse tawny band resembling the band of A. nandina, but not extending to the costal 

 margin or becoming wider to the inner margin; thesubapical spots as inA. nandina, 

 but smaller. Posterior wings crossed in the middle by a suboval tawny band, 

 extending from the costal margin to the submedian nervure; in this band are a 

 black spot near the costa and two smaller spots, one above and the other below 

 the discoidal nervule. 



Underside : both wings resemble A. nandina, but on the posterior wiugs the 

 space beyond the undulated band is much darker ; the spots are arranged as in 

 A. nandina. 



Expanse of wings : \), inches.
