of the hindwiug, bnt some have three, one ia front and two beliiiid ; in a (^ from 

 the Upper Bnssijo the first and second ocelli are large, the first being the larger. 

 The tenth tergite of the c? is not gradually narrowed to a point as it is in itoiii<i, 

 asferope, simj/Ucia, and t/ranulosa, bnt ends in a short acnte tooth. The tergite is, 

 moreover, channelled above, the lateral edges being raised. 



Miss Sharpe, in Proc. Zool. Soc. Loud. p. 530. n. 5 (189(3) records dokta from 

 Sheikh-Hussein. As doleta is apparently confined to the western side of the 

 Continent, where it is common, we doubt the correctness of the identification of 

 the Sheikh-Hussein specimens. Miss Sharpe's individuals belonged probably to 

 the present species. CaUi/phthima doleta Kirby differs in the structure of the 

 antenna very much from the other African species. The biseriate grooves of the 

 antenna are in doleta restricted to the ajiical portion of each segment, the grooves 

 being very much reduced in length and width. In the other species of CaWjphthima 

 the grooves extend down to the bases of the segments, and the two of each segment 

 are separated from one another by a carina.*

2 c?c? from : Gara Daij or Abunass, 2500 to 2700 m., 10. vii. 1900 ; Aveve, 

 Kollu, Schoa, 22. ix. 1900. 



The specimens are larger and below darker than the type of simplicia ; 

 the specimen from Aveve has two large ocelli on the imderside of the hindwiug, 

 besides the small anal ocellus ; in the other specimen all three ocelli are small. 



The specimens resemble in the dark coloration more granulosa Butl. thnu 

 simplicia ; but as the abdomen of the type of granulosa is missing, it is hardly 

 possible to do more than accept as granulosa the insect treated as such by 

 Messrs. Elwes and Edwards. 



A specimen of simplicia similar to that from Gara Daij is among Baron 

 von Erlanger's material from Akaki, 22. x. 1900.
