attention upon the larger and showier species in other families. In com- 

 parison with the really splendid collection of Nymphalidae, the Hesperiidae 

 make a rather poor showing. Nevertheless, some excellent things turn 

 up, as for instance a specimen of Procampta vara Holland, hitherto 

 only known by the type, which until now was unique, and two new 

 species, Ahontis rubra and Leptalina niangarensis. The collection con- 

 tains ninety-four specimens of the Hesperiidjp, representing thirt}'- 

 seven species, belonging to twenty-three genera. INIany species are re- 

 presented by but one specimen. 



Hesperiinae 



Sarangesa Moore 



Subgenus Hyda Mabille 



(445) 1. Sarangesa (Hyda) grisea (Hewitson) 

 Pterygospidea grisea Hewitsox, 1878, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (5) I, p. 344. 



Hyda micacea Mabille, 1889, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, (6) IX, Bull., p. clxviii. 



Mabille and VuiLLoi, 1893, Novit. Lep., p. 93, PI. xiii, fig. 3. 

 Hyda grisea Holland, 1896, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 6. Mabille, 1904, Gen. 



Ins., XVII, p. 55. 



The species is represented by a single male specimen captured at 

 Medje, July 19, 1910. 



Subgenus Safe Mabille 



(446) • 2. Sarangesa (Sape) maculata (Mabille) 



Sape maculata M.abille, 1891, C. R. Soc. Ent. Belgique, p. Ixviii. Holland, 1896, 

 Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 10. Mabille, 1904, Gen. Ins., XVII, p. 55. 



There are two somewhat worn male specimens from Niangara 

 which agree so closely with a series of finely preserved examples collected 

 for me at Mombasa by Doherty and which are undoubtedly referable 

 to S. maculata Mabille, that I do not hesitate to place them here. In 

 1896 at the time I prepared my 'Synonymic Catalogue of the Hesperiidae 

 of Africa' I only knew »S. maculata by the description published bj^ 

 Mabille. The species is well defined and thoroughly valid, as shown by 

 the material before' me.

Hesperia galenus Fabricius, 1793, Ent. Syst., Ill, part 1, p. 3.50.
