232 EAST AFRICAN LEPIDOPTERA— HOLLAND. 



subapical band does not extend in them to the border of the outer mar- 

 gin and unite with it. Otherwise I can see no difference. The speci- 

 mens are labeled " Kilimanjaro, 5,000 feet."

Several good specimens from Kilimanjaro. 



ACR.(EA PHARSALOIDES, new species. 

 (Plate VII, fig. 3.) 



Agrees with A. pharsalus^ Ward, in size and in the disposition of the 

 spots upon the upper and lower surfaces of the wings, save that the 

 transapical band of the primaries is fulvous and entirely without white 

 markings, and the spot at the end of the cell of the primaries coalesces 

 with the large quadrate spot which bounds this band internally, form- 

 ing a very large black spot extending from thecosta to the second sub- 

 median nervule. The general color of the upper surface is bright ful- 

 vous, whereas in A. pliarsahis it is fuscous. There is one female speci- 

 men in the National Museum collection. This may be merely a local 

 race of A. phar solus. 



Locality. — Kilimanjaro. 



ACR.ffiA MINIMA, new species. 



Allied to Eponina, Cramer, but from one-fourth to one-third smaller 

 in size. The upper side of the wings is deep black, with a subapical crim- 

 son spot as in Eponina., and with the discal area of both wings traversed 

 by a broad band of the same color. The inner edge of this band upon 

 both wings is nearly straight, and forms a continuous line from near 

 the outer extremity of the cell of the primaries to about the middle of 

 the inner margin of the secondaries. The cell of the primaries is not 

 traversed longitudinally by a ray of scarlet fusing with the discal band 

 as in Eponina. The outer margin of the scarlet band upon the second- 

 aries is produced opposite the extremity of the cell, and gives the band 

 a strongly angulated appearance. Upon the under side of the wings 

 the scarlet of the subapical spot of the primaries and of the entire 

 secondaries is replaced by ocher-yellow, while the scarlet of tlie discal 

 band of the primaries reappears upon the lower side, though not as 

 vivid in tone as upon the upi)er surface, and extends inwardly quite to 

 the' base of the wing. The secondaries are ornamented just before the 

 base by a diagonal row of very black spots more or less fused togetlier 

 and forming a narrow band. Upon the outer margin on the interspaces 

 there are seven small triangular white spots.' In some specimens a 

 similar spot appears near the outer angle of the primaries.
