A LIST OF BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED DURING THE LAST TEN 

 YEARS IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 



BY THE REV. K. ST. AUBYN ROGERS, F.E.S. 



{Continued from pane o3). 



142. — Teriomima suhpunctata, Kirby. The Coast hills, Taveta. Not uncommon 

 in forest country. Like almost all this group its flight is very feeble. 



143. — Teriomima hildegarda, Kirby. Generally distributed. Another most 

 variable si)ecies. I have taken specimens in which the forewings are 

 almost entirely brown. Other specimens seem to come very near to 

 T. aslauga, Trimen. 



144. — Teriomima mirra, Gr. Smitli. Tliis is only foixnd in the Coast hills, where it 

 is often common. It is also very variable and it is possible that the 

 darker forms may prove to be distinct. 



14.5. — Deloneura ochrascens, Neave. The Coast hills. My specimens are distinctly 

 larger than the type from Kisvirau, but otherwise they are very similar. 

 It is not common. 



146. — Lachnocnema hihidus, Fabr. Common everywhere. 



147. — Virachola antalus, Hopff. Ubiqviitoixs. 



148. — Virachola dariaves. Hew. The Coast district. Not common. 



149. — Virachola diodes. Hew. One or two in the Coast district. 



150. — Virachola lorisona. Hew. I have one or two of this also from the same 

 localities as the preceding. 



151. — Virachola dinochares, Gr. Smitli. Tlie Coast district. Not common. 



152. — Virachola cxrulea, Druce. I have only taken this in the Coast district, 



but it probably occurs elsewhere. The females seem commoner than the 



males and are fond of the blossoms of Lantana. 



153. — Myrina ficcdula. Trim. Widely distributed and not imcommon. It is 



usually to be found on wild fig trees on which the larva feeds. 

 154. — Myrina dermaptera, Wallgr. One specimen only from N. Kikuyu. 

 155. — Hypolycxna philippus, Fabr. Ubiquitous. 



156. — Hypolycfpna x>achalira,Bntl. The Coast district, Taita, Taveta. Not so 

 univei-sally distributed as the last, but common ^vhere it occxu-s. 



157. — Hypolycxna huxtoni. Hew. The Coast district. This is more confined to 

 woodlands and flies higher tlian the two preceding species. 



158. — Stugeta howkeri. Trim. Widely distrilnited, but not generally common. 



159. — lolaus silas, Westw. Coast district, Taita This fine species is not 

 unconunon. It frequents the scrub near the sea, but soon loses condition 

 as the wind blows strongly most of the year. 



160. — Epamera mermis, Druce. Coast district, Taita. Not uncommon in wood- 

 lands. It frequents woodlands and flies ratlier higli.
