The spots on the primaries on either side of vein 2 are variable, some 

 of the specimens being provicled with them as in tlie types, others 

 having' only one, and one example being altogether withont them.

There is one example of this beautiful iusect. 



ACR/EA AXINA, Westwood. 

 Acra'ci axlna, Westwood, App. Oates' Matabeleland, p. 344, pi. F, figs. 5, 6 (1881). 



There is a series of twelve males and eleven females of a species, 

 which I identify with some doubt as A. axina, Westwood. The 

 females agree quite positively with the descriiition given by Westwood 

 and with the figure, and also with specimens identifled as A. axina by 

 Mr. Trimen, from Manica, taken by Mr. Selous and contained in my col- 

 lection, but Mr. Westwood states that his figure is that of a male. Tlie 

 males before me are redder than in the figure given by Westwood, lack 

 the striiT^ between the extremities of the nervures near the apex, and 

 are quite translucent on tlie subapical tract. The females have the 

 discal area of the primaries and the secondaries broadly whitish. The 

 spots are throughout identical in location and form with those given in 

 Westwood's figure. The specimens np]»ear to me to be a local race of 

 A. axina. I can not bring myself to regard it as a new species. 



ACR.ffiA PUDORINA, Staudinger. 



Acra'a pndorina, Staidingeu, Exot. Scbmett., I, p. 84, II, pi. 33 (1888). 



The collection contains a series of twenty-two males and six females 

 of this beautiful species. The females are dark smoky brown and quite 

 distinct in their ground color upon the upper side. Upon the under 

 side they closely approximate the males. The spots are the same in 

 size and location in the two sexes. 



ACR.ffi:A HOEHNELI, new species. 



Male. — The primaries are translucent, with the apical extremity of 

 the costa and the outer margin narrowlj^ margined with black. The 

 black border is widest at the extremity of the apex. The basal edge of 

 the costa and the base and inner margin laved with dull red. Just 

 within the black border of the outer margin between the nervules is 

 situated a submarginal row of acuminate red, opaque si)ots. There is 

 a moderately large black spot in the middle of the cell, two coalescing 

 similar spots at the end of the cell and a series of four spots in a straight
