of Boisduval's species, and with the wings throughout evenly pale warm gray, with 

 the tranverse lines and markings only a little lighter than the ground-color. These 

 markings recall in their disposition those of certain oriental Lycsenidse belonging to 

 the genus Lampides.

 extent, due to the widening of the dark costal and outer marginal areas of black on 

 both wings.

 E. Africa by William Doherty, and in Holland Collection, Carnegie INIuseum. 



I am under the impression that this is the form which has in the 

 past been referred by some authors to the species D. hatikeli, and re- 

 ported as such from various points on the East African mainland. D. 

 hatikeli is found on the island of Madagascar. 



I have for a number of j^ears had a small but very fine series of 

 this insect collected for me on the hills about twelve miles up from 

 the coast back of Mombasa by the late William Doherty. They have 

 puzzled me, because, while resembling!), hatikeli, 

 they could not be found to agree with either 

 figures or descriptions or actual specimens from 

 Madagascar and were labelled " ? hatikeli Bsd." 

 The occurrence in the collection upon which 

 I am reporting of a good male specimen, 

 picked up at Niangara in November 1910, 

 brings matters to a focus, and I venture to Fig. i. Deudorix hatikeiuies
