border. On the under surface the differences are much greater ; the 
apical brown border is unbroken, with three small whitish spots in- 
ternally as above, whitish veins, and five tear-like whitish-sub- 
marginal dots between the veins. Secondaries with irregular brown 
borders interrupted by diffused whitish spots internally and enclosing 
six distinct submarginal white spots ; veins pale; an oblique ab- 
breviated brown spot at the end of the cell, but no other markings.

Two males of the wet-season phase of this very distinct 
species were in the Godman and Salvin collection associ- 
ated with B. gidica of Trimen and others. To the latter 
I propose to restore the name of B. westwoodi, Wallgr. 
Lelenois abyssinica, Lucas. 
The Godman and Salvin collection contained two males, 
and the Museum series a female of the wet-season phase 
of this species. It differs from the wet phase of B. west- 
woodt above in the almost confluent character of the 
marginal spots on the male secondaries; the differences 
below are considerable, the ground-colour being much 
yellower, and all the dark brown markings on the basal 
area of the secondaries being wholly erased, bringing it 
decidedly nearer to B. gidica. 
The differences between the dry-season forms of the 
two species do not appear to be so marked, though they 
are of the same nature, the rusty ground-colour not being 
so well suited for emphasizing the absence of dark mark- 
ings as the primrose yellow of the wet-season phase. 
Belenois westwoodi, Wallgr. 
We have a long series of this species, the female of 
which is very variable. I suspect that the most typical 
wet phase is represented by the more heavily bordered 
and distinctly marked examples, but the change from 
heavy to light borders is so gradual that I have not 
attempted to distinguish an intermediate phase. One of 
our female examples in which the upper surface is very 
lightly marked shows a distinct approach to the dry form 
in the coloration of the under surface. Of the dry phase 
we have five examples from Eastern Africa as far south- 
ward as Natal, and there is an equal number in the 
Hewitson collection.
