132 THE ENTOMOLOGIST, 



Prof. Poulton, F.R.S., for the help and advice he gave me when 

 I visited the Hope Museum. 



Family Acr^eid^. 



ACR^A HARRISONI, Sp. n. 



Closely allied to A. egina, Cram., but distinguished from that 

 species by the bright red streaks between the nervules of the 

 fore wing. 



^ . Fore wing : Ground colour smoky black, rather more trans- 

 parent towards the apical area. The brilliant red patch on the inner 

 margin extends slightly more to the base, and the black spots, although 

 situated exactly as in A. er/imt, are somewhat larger. Hmd wing very 

 similar to that of A. eijina. The under side, althougii brighter and 

 having the spots and markings more pronounced, agrees in other 

 respects with that of the above mentioned species. Expanse, 3 in. 



Hob. Nyangori. (Type in A. H. Harrison coll.) 

 ? . Differs somewhat from that of A. egina, the apical band on 

 the fore wing in tbis species being yellowish buff instead of white. The 

 black spots on the hind wing are also rather smaller. Fore wing : 

 Ground colour smoky brown, with a light suffusion of red ; two spots, 

 one in the cell situated between two black spots, and the other near the 

 posterior angle, also red and brighter in colour ; red streaks between 

 the nervules also indicated as in the male. The yellowish-white band 

 near the apical area not so wbite as in the female of A. egina. Hind 

 wing : General colour brigbt red, the costal and inner margins deep 

 yellow ; the basal area suffused with brown, and the black spots much 

 reduced in size. The under side of both wings does not differ from 

 that of A. egina and A. areca, Mabille. Expanse, 3 in. 



Hah. Nyangori. (Type in A. H. Harrison coll.) 

 This species may turn out to be only a local form, but, as a 

 fair number have passed through my hands, I venture to give it 

 a name. Besides the types above described, Mr. Harrison has 

 in his collection a male from Nairobi (October 17th, 1903), a male 

 from Nandi, and a female from Nyangori.

 EuPHZEDRA PARADOXA, Neavo, Nov. Zool. xi. p. 333, 1904. 



^ . Fore wing : Costal margin, apical area, and hind margin 

 glossy greenish black, tbe apical area relieved by an oblique creamy- 

 white band ; the base and central portion of wing of a much brighter 

 green tone. Hind wing : Ground colour of bright glossy green colour, 

 with a narrow hind marginal border of greenisb black, relieved by 

 internervular spots of paler green. The under side, with the exception 

 of being a pale uniform green, does not differ from the description 

 given by Mr. Neave of the female. Expanse, 2-3 in.
