red, like the ground-color of the rest of the wing. The under side of the secondaries 

 also differs from T. nyanza in that there are five, instead of three black bars on 

 the costa, as in the latter species, the third from the base running downward across 

 the end of the cell. There are also two minute black dots, one above the other, in the 

 cell beyond its middle, and in interval 5 there is a conspicuous squarish black spot. 

 Furthermore the black outer border of the secondaries on the lower side terminates 

 abruptly at the extremity of vein 5, as in the preceding species, the pale yellowish red 

 ground-color between veins 5 and 7 extending outwardly quite to the border of the 

 wing, separated from the cilia only by a very narrow black marginal line. The cilia 

 are broadly checkered with white between the extremities of the nervules where they 

 are black. Succeeding the fine black marginal line there is a row of sublunate white 

 spots sharply defined upon the deep black border, extending from the anal angle as 

 far as the interval between veins 3 and 4. At a remove of about two millimeters 

 from this row of spots basad there is another row of similar larger white spots, 

 each spot totally surrounded by the deep black of the border, which terminates in- 

 wardly just above them. Expanse, 50 mm. 



The type, which is from Medje and is unique, is in the American 

 Museum of ^J^atural History.

The species is represented by but one female specimen, which is in 

 The American Museum of Natural History. It was taken at Niangara 

 about the middle of November 1910, and does not differ in the least 

 from long suites of the species which we possess from the valley of the 

 Ogove and from Cameroon.

There are two specimens taken at Faradje, "1911-1912," which 

 agree so closely with the description of this species that I have no doubt 

 that they represent it. There are four other specimens, one taken at 

 Basoko in Juh^ 1909, two captured at Gamangui in June, and one taken 

 at Medje in July 1910, which in the main agree with those taken at 

 Faradje and which cannot be separated from them specificall}-. These 

 four appear to me to be at most representatives of a seasonal or local 

 variety, the only difference being the increased size and therefore more 

 prominent appearance of the spots on the upper and lower sides of the 

 wings. In the specimens from Faradje the discal spots are much re- 

 duced in size, and some ai'e ahuost obsolete, as Neave points out to have 

 been the case with some of the specimens before him when he wrote his
