THKEE NEW BUTTERFLIES FROM EAST AFRICA. 41 



way along the inner margin. Secondaries. The entire diseal area 

 ferruginous, the basal half decidedly black, faintly suffused with 

 ferruginous towards the costal margin ; the hind margin narrowly 

 lined with brownish black ; the veins on both wings blackish. Under 

 side. Primaries similar to those of A. insiguis, but showing the trans- 

 parent band, and with the general colour somewhat lighter. Second- 

 aries more sombre in colour than in the allied form ; the diseal area 

 greyish white, relieved by the black nervules, the hind margin having 

 deep chestnut-brown spots between the nervules ; the basal area 

 chestnut-brown, thickly spotted with heavy black dots, a distinct 

 line of these spots outlining the outer edge of the basal half of the 

 wing. Expanse, 2*1 in.

ACR^A OCHRASCENS, Sp. 11. 



Similar to the species of the A.serena group, but distinguished 

 by the pale yellow ground colour of the wings. 



Primaries. General colour pale ochre-yellow, the brown spots and 

 markings agreeing with those of A. serena, Fabr., but somewhat lighter 

 in colour ; the hind marginal border relieved by six small spots of pale 

 ochre, tinged with deeper yellow. Secondaries. Ground colour pale 

 ochre-yellow ; the brown hind margiu with the lighter dots similar to 

 those of the primaries ; basal area dusky brown ; a faint black streak 

 visible at the end of the cell. Under side. Primaries pale yellow, 

 slightly darker in colour on the hind margin ; the light nervules 

 heavily streaked with black on the marginal area ; the usual black 

 mark at the end of the cell much reduced in size. Secondaries : 

 Ground colour pale yellow, with the usual black and red spots on the 

 basal area ; the hind marginal border consisting of spear-shaped 

 marks outlined with black, the usual light nervules having black 

 streaks down the centres ; between each of these hastate marks are 

 distinct spots of ferruginous red ; this submargiual border broadest 

 near the costa and towards the anal angle ; on the extreme edge of the 

 marginal border a row of light yellow spots, but slightly smaller than 

 in A. serena. Expanse, 1"1 in.

Elymnias rattrayi, sp. n. 



Similar to E. phegea, Fabr., in colour, but easily distinguished 

 by the white band on the secondaries. The female closely re- 

 sembles E. hammakoo, Westw., but the white mark on the 

 primaries is larger, and the white streak on the inner margin is 

 only faintly indicated, while the white band on the secondaries 

 is almost obsolete. 



(?. Primaries. Ground colour of the primaries brown, crossed 

 near the apical area by a broad transverse band of bright yellow, 

 extending a little below the first median nervule ; an ovate spot of 

 yellow near the posterior angle, and almost connected to the conspicu- 

 ous yellow baud by a faint suffusion of yellow. Secondaries. A broad
