These specimens were ennmerated by Pagenstecher as acara, together with two 

 specimens of the following form. It appears, indeed, qnite possible that chilo is 

 only a form of zcfe.-i witli reduced black spots and narrow black margin. They 

 stand in two different sections of Acraea in Aurivillins's work. 



82. Acraea zetes sidamona subsp. nov. 



c?. Wings, uppers/ de, resembling snch Uganda specimens of ::etes as stand 



about halfway between the West African .c. ::ctcs and East African z. acara. 



Forewing : cell as in acara, a red dot each proximally of black subbasal cell-spot 

 and of postcellular subbasal spot ; discal costal band of black spots as in acara, but 

 spot R^ — M' more proximal than the others, nearly touching discocellnlar spot, the 

 red spots just outside discocellulars therefore nearly isolated; red snbapical spots out- 

 side the black costal band rather smaller than the spots of this band ; six isolated 



reddish orange submarginal spots, larger than iu z. zetes S . Hind wing : black 



basal area a little more extended than iu z. acara, black discal spots as in that 

 subspecies ; distal border as wide as in the average Natal specimens. 



Underside more red than in the other geographical forms, pinkish like upper- 

 side, but paler, the liindwing being washed with white as in acara. Forewing : 



black spots a little smaller than above ; yellow submarginal s]iots all separated from 

 disc by a broad black border, except spot SC' — R', which is long.

In one of the two specimens the hindwing is somewhat washed with white 

 between the black subbasal and median spots on the upperside.
