 anteriorly better defined.

 orange patch in front of posterior margin mnch wider than in ? j. jodutta, 



resembling that of ? ;'. esebvia f csebria. Hindwing orange (mnch paler than in

99. Acraea lycoa aeqiialis subsp. nov. 



3 ? . The sexes alike in colour. Spots on forewing buff, in size and position 

 the same as in the East African form of l</coa, the two postdiscal spots standing 

 mostly well separated from the subcostal and discal spots ; a buff area on the 

 hindwing as in the ? ? of h/coa, rather slmrply defined iu botli sexes, not in 

 the ¥ only. 



On the underside the greater portion of forewing blackish, the spots nearly as 

 clearly marked as above ; base of hindwing jialer reddish than in East African li/coa, 

 the bnflish area less sharply defined than above, but better than in the c? (? of li/coa 

 from West and East Africa.

 Banka to Omo, 18. ii. 1901 ; Dereta Mts., Kaffii, 2. iii. lOnl, ti/pe. 



The most noteworthy feature in this form is the practical identity of the sexes 

 iu pattern and colonr, iu li/coa from East as well as West Africa the sexes being 

 dissimilar. 



In c(illection Baron von Erlanger there are three specimens of this Acraea, not 

 recorded by Dr. I'agi nstecher, from : Wonda, north of Lake Abassi, 6. xii. loui) ; 

 and Lake Abassi, 11. xii. 1900. 



mo. Acraea alciope schecana subsp. nov. 



J. The buff-yellow band of the npju'isidc a little pah'v than in West African 

 ii, the black distal border of the hindwing wider, being just behind K' half as 

 wide again as the distance from this band to the apex of the cell, the black streaks 



between the veins corresjmndingly slmrter ; basal dots vestigial. On underside 



the black dots of the hindwing reduced in size and number : the lirown distal border 

 as wide as above.
