438 Walter Rothschild: 



Staudinger's Mars is a fine specinien and Honrath has 

 another, and these, with my seven, are all that exist in collec- 

 tions of this perhaps tlie finest Charaxes known. 



Charaxes Affinis Butl. 20 specimens, all males. 



Parthenos Sylvia Cram. 11 specimens, 10 niales and

Neptis Albescens n. sp. Taf. VII, Fig. 3 3. 



Neptis Variabilis n. sp. Taf. VII, Fig. 1 S, 2 9. These 

 two forms, which are distinct froni all known species, niight

Limeiiitis Lyniire Hewits. 39 specimens. 



Limenitis Lyneides Hewits. 12 specimens. Mostly worn. 



Limenitis Libnites Hewits. 10 specimens. 2 males
