Unlike as the green c? oceUala is to the yellow, brown-marked ? of carahogiann, 

 the examination of a series of 32 specimens (25 cJc?, 7 ? ?) forbids any doubt as 

 to theii- identity. The insects in question form part of the collection made by tlie 

 late W. Doherty in British East Afi-ica, and were all taken in the same locality in 

 February and March 1901, between COOO and 9000 ft. Of the 25 c^d' 1 only 

 resembles in coloration, size, and sluqie the yellow, longer-winged, and slightly 

 larger cainborjiaria ; agreeing with the form described by truenee as var. A, without 

 any brown suffusion. On the other hand, of the 7 ? ? one is exactly like typical 

 S ocellata, the normal coloration of the ? evidently being yellow, and of the d 

 gi'een. Of the 6 yellow ? ? 3 agree with Guenee's typical form, 2, like the 

 single cJ, with his var. A, and 1 is intermediate, the brown sufi'usion being jiartial 

 and interrupted. Of the 24 green tTcJ, 8 differ from the type form in having the 

 ocellus of forewing either absent altogether or reduced to a small spot ; while two 

 are distinguished by a very diSerent shade of green, exactly like that of Ellopia 

 prasinana Hiib., with the cross lines dark green and thicker than usual, conversely 

 edged externally with white. Guenee described the <?, exactly like his typical ? 

 from a specimen in the Paris Museum.
