Underside: anterior wings bordered outwardly all round by a dusky brown band 

 very broad at the ajiex, crossed by the dark veins and rays in the interspaces, the 

 snba]>ical obliqne vitreous band as on the upperside, the brown rays or markings of 

 the uiijierside scarcely visible : posterior wings pinkish brown, jialer towards tlic 

 margin, the veins and rays crossing the disc darker brown, a conspicuous pale 

 biscuit-coloured band crosses the disc just beyond the cell which it partially invades ; 

 on the inner edge of the band is a row of round black spots of unequal size, two 

 spots in the cell and several others clustered around. 



Expanse : 53 mm.

6. Acraea toruna sp. nov. 



(?. Upperside : anterior wings ditier from those of A. johnstoni Godm. in the 

 ground colour of the basal three-fourths of the wings being uniformly bright 

 rufous brown ; in place of the two pale tawny sjwts towards the apex o{ A. johnstoni 

 is a broad pale tawny band, divided into four by the veins, which crosses the wings 

 obliquely; the lowest of the four divisions is elongated outwardly and also inwardly 

 by a narrow line along the upper median nervnle to the end of the cell, inside which 

 is a small triangidar tawny sjiot, the two pale tawuy sjiots on the disc on either 

 side of the lowest median nervnle are closer together than in .1. johnstoni ; the 

 pale band on the posterior wings is brighter and better detined on its inner edge by 

 the dark rufous brown basal area. 



Underside : anterior wings paler than above. Posterior wings with the base 

 bright chocolate brown, edged externally by an irregular row of confluent black 

 spots, a small spot before the precostal nervure and two others at the base, other- 

 wise as on the upperside. 



? . Upperside : basal half bright rufous brown followed by a transverse bright 

 tawny band which crosses the wings from the costa to the inner margin, elongated 

 on each side in the region of the upper median nervnle, with a minute spot at the 

 end of the cell as in the male, the area beyond the band dark brown : posterior 

 wings as in the male. 



Underside : anterior wings with the basal three-fourths paler than on the 

 upperside, the transverse median pale band being scarcely distinguishable. 



Expanse : cj, 51 mm. ; ? , 6<J mm.

T. Planema alicia >>p. nov. 



c?. Upperside : anterior wings crossed by a bright fulvous band resembling 

 the band in P. excisa Butl., the rest of the wings darker than in that species. 

 Posterior wings bright fnlvons on the disc, becoming more rufous towards the 

 base and darker at the apex, the dark area narrowing towards the anal angle, 

 dark rays between the veins from the outer margin to near the cell. 



Underside : anterior wings with the inner edge of the fulvous band defined 

 by a very zigzag band, more irregular than in F. ewcisa : posterior wings dark 

 chocolate brown, becoming rufous at the base, with a badly detined pale band
