base of cell a large black spot with a white clot upon it. Two spots in cell, 

 one at its extremity and two minnte ones just above its extremit}'. Distal margin 

 dusky brown, narrowing as it approaches anal angle. Rest of wing ochreons 

 yellow with strongly marked dark internervular streaks. There are two such 

 streaks between submedian and median nervures, of which tlie outer ends in a 

 spot near base of wing. 



Underside very like upperside, but on hindwing two additional spots above 

 the basal portion of cell. 



Expanse : 81 mm. 



This species is an extraordinarily close mimic of Plane ma tellua Auriv. 



1 ? in British Museum from Uganda, type. 1 S, Entebbe, Uganda. 



15. Pseudacraea obscura spec. uov. 



i ? . Dusky brown dusted with lighter brown. 



Upperside. Forewing dusky brown. One black spot at base, two in 



the middle, one near and one at extremity of cell. Beyond cell a narrow oblique 

 subapical bar of a yellowish buff colour, which extends from subcostal nervure 

 to half-way between third radial and first median nervules. Upon inner margin, 

 and extending jnst above second median uervnle, is a somewhat triangular area 

 dusted with ochreons red scales. Dark internervular streaks in apical region, 



with a double streak between submedian nervure and second median nervnle. 



Hindwing dusky brown, suffused with redder brown, especially towards anal 

 angle. Spotting as on forewing, with two additional spots above extremity of 

 cell. Dark internervular streaks on distal margin. 



Underside paler througliout than upperside. Hindwing a uniform ochreons 

 brown, with two additional spots above base of cell. 



? . Larger, generally paler in colour. Subapical bar of forewing rather 

 larger and whitish in colour. Ochreons patch extending from distal margin paler 

 than in S, but more pronounced, and filling up the angle formed by the median 

 nervure and first median nervnle. The spots in cell of forewing smaller. 



Expanse : c?, 72 mm. ; $,81 mm. 



1 c?, 1 ?, Entebbe, Uganda, April 1903. 



Apjjarently nearest to P. striata Butler. 



16. Euphaedra paradoxa spec. nov. 



¥ . Dull red-brown with glossy greenish black margin. 



Upperside. Forewing glossy greenish black with a narrow dirty white 



oblique subajiical bar extending from subcostal nervnle to near distal margin half- 

 way between tliird radial and first median nervulos. Starting from inner margin 

 from base to near posterior angle is a patch of dull red-brown with a slight 

 green tint running up to and invading base of cell and angle between median 



nervure and second median nervnle. Hindwing : the same dull red-brown 



colour, with a narrow uniform distal margin of glossy greenish black, bearing 

 internervular spots of paler green. 



Underside : a dull pale olive-green, paler toward margins. Forewing :
