apical band, the form agrees rather closely with E. njamnjami Staud- 

 inger, from which, however, it may easily be discriminated. 



(205) 5/. Euphsedra preussi latefasciata, new variety 



Plate XI, Figure 8, a" 

 This form is very much hke the preceding but differs in having the transverse 

 subapical band of the fore ^^•ing broader, and by the great reduction, amounting to 

 almost a complete sujjpression on the under side of the black markings in the cells, 

 especially in the case of the female. The submarginal markings on the under side of 

 the secondaries on the other hand are very distinct, inwardly black, margined ex- 

 ternallj^ by light blue. 



This variety is represented l)y a male captured at Medje in April 

 and a female taken at the same place in July. 



(206) bg. Euphsedra preussi angustior, new variety 



Plate XI, Figure 7, cT 

 I apply this name to four males and two females which are characterized by 

 having the transverse postapical band orange on the upper side of the fore wings 

 and greatly reduced in width, being much narrower than in any of the other forms in 

 this group. On the under side the spots in the cell of the fore wing are much enlarged 

 and very conspicuous, much more so than in any other of the varieties hereinbefore 

 mentioned. The transverse postapical band in what I take to be the female is not 

 yellow in this form, as it is in the case of the male, but white. 



There are four males, one taken at Medje in April and three captured 

 at the same place in August. The two females which I associate with 

 the males because of the markings on the under side of the wings were 

 also captured at Medje, one in July and the other in August. 



Whether the forms which I have mentioned in the foregoing para- 

 graphs are all really referable to Euphcedra preussi and are to be regarded 

 as mere varieties of that insect can only be decided by the test of breed- 

 ing. They all agree in having on the anterior margin of the hind wing a 

 broad white band extending from the Ijase in cell 7 almost to its outer 

 extremity. This pale band is generally tinged with bluish, but sometimes 

 inclines to greenish or greenish yellow. There is a general resemblance 

 among these insects and, if not varietal forms of the same insect, they 

 represent species which are wonderfull.y closely related to each other.

Plate XI: Figure 2, d^, type; Figure 3, ? , allotype (under side) 



On the under side of the wdngs like Euphcedra inanum Butler, but with the white 



transverse bands not nearly as distinctly defined, especially in the male, and differing 



on the upper side from E. inanum by having the postapical transverse band of the 



fore wings blue, as in E. ctxrulencens Grose-Smith, and not pale j'ellowish white as in
