l:i. Pseudacraea tirikensis spec. uuv. (PI. I. (. 14). 



Dusky lilnck with white markings. 



U/ipergide. Forewing dusky black, brownisli black towards apex. A 



black spot at base of cell, two more witbiu it. A black spot beneath median 

 nefvure. Jnst beyond extremity of cell an oblique white bar crosses subapical 

 portion of wing. This bar begins at costa and extends to halfway between first 

 and second median nervnles. In one sjiecimen this bar slightly invades angle at 

 upper extremity of cell. In middle of dusky distal margin is a semicircular patch 

 dusted with white scales. This patch sometimes extends u]) to the extri'mity 

 of the white bar. Black internervnlar streaks in apical region. Two such streaks 



between submedian nervnre and second median nervule. Hindwing dasky brown, 



slightly rediler-brown at base, with a broad white bar crossing discal arra ot 

 wing, widening as it a])proaches inner margin. One spot at base of cell with 

 a white dot upon it, two within cell, and one at its extremity. One near base 

 below median nervule. Along inner margin and at anal angle a line of ochreous 

 colour. Black internervnlar streaks as in forewing. 



Undeisif/e. In fiprewing a small additional spot near, and another at 



extremity of cell. Apex lightly dusted with ochreous. -In hiadwing across 



base a triangular patch of a rich red brown, which does not ((uite reach extremity 

 of cell. Four additional black spots in interuervular spaces immediately 

 above cell. 



Expanse : 73 mm. 



One specimen (? ?) of this species difters in the white liar of forewing being 

 heavier and broader. It invades angle at upper jiart of extremity of cell and 

 reaches down to the second median nervule. On tlie hindwing white discal bar 

 does not extend so near anal angle, and there is no ochreous colour on distal 

 margin except a trace on underside at anal angle. 



Fringe black except on the inner margin of hindwing, where it is ochreous. 

 Abdomen black above, reddish ochreous with Idack spots beneath. 

 Expanse : 80 mm.

Mr. Wiggins has since sent another c? of this species from Nyangori, 

 July 6—18, 1903. 



14. Pseudacraea terra spec. nov. 



Allied to eurytus Linn. 



? S- Dusky brown, heavily marked with dull ochreous yellow. 



Upperside. Forewing : Base of costal margin down to median nervure, apex, 



and distal margin dusky brown, with darker internervnlar streaks in apical region. 

 A black spot with a white dot njion it at base of cell, and two more just before 

 middle of cell. Beyond cell a broad, subapical, oblique, rectangular, ochreous 

 yellow bar, divided into live parts by nervnles traversing it. This bar extends 

 from costa to midway between third radial and first median nervnles. Below the 

 mediau nervure near base a black spot, which marks inner boundary of a broad 

 ochreous yellow area, which starts below first median nervule and widens rapidly 

 as it approaches distal margin. Hindwing at base of costa dnsky brown. At
