T. Acraea anacreontica sp. iiov. 



MAVB.— L'/jperm/e: (litters from ^-1. a/ianron Trim, in tlie tbliowing respects : 

 on the upperside of the anterior wings the bhi(;k iliscal and cellular spots are larger, 

 those in the cell and at its end being respectively confluent ; the i)ale fulvous spots 

 in the outer-marginal row are more abbreviated, and are bordered inwardly by a 

 narrower dark band, and the apex is more rounded. On the jmsteriiir wings the 

 disial row of spots is closer to the cell, and consequently farther j'rora the outer 

 margin ; the basal dark area is more extended and regular ; the outer-marginal 

 dark band is narrower, and the pale fulvous spots in it are more elongate. On the 

 umleraide of the posterior wings the spots in the discal row and those nearer the 

 base are respectively more confluent, forming two irregular bands, the space l)etween 

 which is uninterruptedly pink, which colour forms an irregular band extending 

 from the costal to the inner margins ; the outer-marginal row of pale fulvous spots 

 is narrower, and bordered inwardly by very narrow black lunules. 



Thvfemnle resembles the mnlf, but the dark outer-margiinil band on the anterior 

 wings is broader and more strongly developed. 



Expanse of wings : J' IJ, ? 2 inches. 



Hab. S Patsho, ? Rau, Naudi country, December 1896 (Dr. Ansorge). 



8. Junonia rauana sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : both wings dark brown, crossed by a common pale brown 

 band, wider than in ./. koimra Ward, J. sinuata Plotz, and J. aurorina Butler; 

 this band is less undulated, on its inner edge, from the inner margin to the end of 

 the cell : thence it is inwardly sharply augulated to the costal margin ; the lower 

 two-thirds of its outer edge approaches more nearly to the outer margin ; three 

 minute dots in the band between the median nervnles and a white subapical spot ; 

 the basal dark area is not interrupted by paler markings. Posterior wings with a 

 row of six small dots in the pale band. 



Undertiidf : with dark bands and markings closely resembling ./. kowara. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inches. 



Ilnh. Ran, Nandi country, December 1890 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Closely allied to the above-named species, but with the outer margins uf anterior 

 wings less falcate, and the bands on the upjierside considerably broader. 



9. Mycalesis ansorgei sji. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : both wings velvety dark brown, slightly paler towards the 

 outer margins. 



Underside : botii wings with the basal three-fourths dark velvety brown, the 

 outer fourth paler brown, with a row of spots crossing the disc of both wings, the 

 spots being surrounded by slightly greyish brown rings. On the anterior wings 

 the spots are five in number, of which the four uppermost are reduced to white dots; 

 the fifth is more distinct, witli a narrow lihiek i)U]iil; on the outer margin is a 

 series of indistinct pale lunules, traversed before the margin by a narrow brown line. 

 On the posterior wings is a row of seven spots, of which the four uppermost are the 

 smallest, centred with white dots ; the three spots nearest the anal angle arc rather 

 larger, and resemble the fifth sjiot on the anterior wings. The jmsterior wings are 

 more acute at the anal angle than is usual in the African section of this genus.
