Beyond the cell another broad bar sloping obliquely back toward the base of 

 the wing. This bar begins below the third radial nervule, and extends to inner 

 margin. It consists of fonr parts, the third being invaded by some of the dark 

 colour from distal margin. Along hindmargin are traces of black internervular 



streaks. Hindwing has a broad ochreons yellow band crossing it to inner 



margin, being a continuation of the bar on the forewing. Base dusky. Dista.l 

 marginal band is broader than on forewing, and has the black internervnlar 

 streaks proportionately longer. 



Underside is much paler ; the bars of a pale buff colour, which is suffused 

 to a brownish yellow over the rest of the wings. The Ijlack distal marginal 

 internervular streaks remain in both wings. 



Expanse, 49 mm.

This specie's is allied to N. rxalritca Karsch and j\\ icoodwardi Sharpe, 

 resembling the latter in colour and the former iu distribution of markings. 



12. Pseudacraea hobleyi spec. nov. 



(?. Nearly allied to kuenowi Dew. Band on upperside of forewing paler 

 in colour, not widened out immediately beneath costa and only just invades 

 extremity of cell. Band is at its widest between the third radial and first 

 median nervules, below which it again becomes somewhat narrower. This 

 gives it almost the shape of a right angle. There are four black spots in the 

 cell and one rather indefinite one about the middle of its extremity. One spot 

 below median nervure near base. Rest of wing the same blackish brown as in 

 kuenowi. There are black internervular streaks in apical region, and between 

 submedian nervure and second median nervule is a paired internervular streak 



crossing orange-yellow band into median area of wing. Hindwing red-brown 



at base. Across its middle is a white bar attaining its greatest breadth at inner 

 margin, narrowing as it approaches costa, which it does not quite reach, differing 

 in this point from kiienoici. Three black sjmts in the cell (the largest at the 

 base), and one at the extremity of the cell. This and the outer of two spots 

 placed just above the extremity of the cell are the only spots situated in white 

 area. Distal margin brownish black with well-marked internervnlar streaks 

 invading white area. As on forewing, the streak between submedian nervure 

 and second median nervule is very long and paired ; the upper of these ends at 

 the base of the wing in a spot. No ochreous colour at the anal angle. 



Underside much as in upperside. On hindwing a large spot on each 



side of precostal nervure. The inner of these with the spot at the base of the 

 cell in each wing has a white dot on it. The white band more suffused over 

 the distal margin than in kuenowi. Abdomen reddish ochreous, black on dorsal 

 surface, spotted with black laterally. 



Expanse : 71 mm. 



2 cJc?, Entebbe, April 1903. 



A ? of this species has been kindly lent me by Mr. Roland Trimen. It 

 was cajitured by Mr. Hobley of Kisumu, at Nyangori, and the species has been 

 named after him. It differs in slightly larger size and in greater width of orange 

 bar of forewing.
