Plates I, IL 



For some time past I have been receiving collections of 

 Lepidoptera from various parts of Africa, and though none 

 of them have been sufficientl}' interesting to be treated 

 separately, yet taken together they contain several new 

 species and some extremely interesting aberrations which 

 I propose to describe and in some cases figure in this 

 paper. 



All the types of the new species here described are in 

 the collection of Mr. Herbert J. Adams.
