and females, of H. lebona and H. dubia, and while the diacritical points 

 emphasized by Aurivillius hold well enough in many cases, so that it is 

 possible to make up a good series of both forms, there are many inter- 

 grading forms which suggest that we may well be in doubt as to the 

 validit}^ of the species as such. 



The collection contains a male and female in fairly good preserva- 

 tion taken at Medje.

The specimens have been compared with others named Aphnceus 

 caffer and obtained from Mr. Trimen himself in exchange. They agree 

 perfectly with these. Aurivillius sinks the name caffer as a synonym 

 of mozmnhica Bertohni, but I am unable to identify the reference given 

 by Aurivillius in the 'Rhopalocera ^thiopica,' though I have made 

 diligent search. 



The expedition brought back five specimens, a male caught at 

 Medje in August, a pair taken at Niangara in November, and two males 

 captured at Faradje, one in December 1910, the other in "1911-1912."
