THE ENTOMOLOGIST, 



J . Upperside blackish-brown ; fore wings crossed by a broad 

 white discal band formed of five contiguous spots of nearly equal 

 size, and beyond them the usual two white subapical spots. 



Underside as in the male except that the fore wings have the 

 broad white discal band as above. 



Habitat. — St. Jean du Maroni, French Guiana. 



In the female of typical cinara the discal band of the fore 

 wings consists of three small and widely-separated white spots, 

 and internal to them there is a very large patch of bright 

 blue ; in vefja the discal spots are five in number, three or four 

 times as large as those of cinara, and the blue patch is either 

 wholly absent (type), or else represented by a few diffused scales 

 on the inner edge of the white band. 



Temeris laothoe f. creta, form nov. 



$ . Upperside : Fore wings dark brown, crossed beyond the 

 cell by a broad discal band of pale fulvous extending from the costa 

 to the inner margin near hinder angle. Hind wings dark brown, 

 without any fulvous or tawny scaling. 



Underside as in laothoe. 



Habitat. — St. Jean du Maroni, French Guiana. 



Differs from all other forms of the variable T. laothoe, Cram., 

 in the fulvous colouring on the fore wings being confined to a 

 discal band, the basal third of the wing remaining dark brown 

 like the apex. Some of the males from the same locality belong 

 to the form Ariadne, Cram., whilst others have a more or less 

 broad black marginal border to the hind wings. 



Pseudacrcen dolomena var. dolibeUa, subsp. nov. 



(J 9 . Upperside : Fore wings almost as in dolomena, luit 

 the tawny interno-basal area more reddish and shghtly reduced. 

 Hind wings crossed by a narrow band of pure white in place of the 

 broad tawny area of dolomena ; the rest of the wing blackish-brown, 

 with the usual black spots and rays. 



Underside as above, except that it is much paler, the discal band 

 of fore wings yellowish and the white band of hind wings broader and 

 less sharply defined. 



Habitat. — Entebbe district of Uganda. 



This very distinct form seems to be a constant local race, as 

 I have seen several specimens from the same locality. 



Pseiidacrcea dolichiste, sp. nov. 



9 . Form and pattern of P. dolomena, Hew\, but difi'ers chiefly 

 in the bands of both wings being white. Upperside : Fore wings 

 black ; discal band of the same width and form as in dolomena, but 

 pure white ; the inner marginal patch is also white, but very small, 

 confined to the middle of the inner margin and scarcely reaching 

 above the submedian vein ; tlie white-ringed black spots at the base
