(g) Ao'aea vesperalis, Smith. This insect is one of eight 

 examples which I captured within a radius of fifty yards of 

 a small patch of forest near Mano in the Ronietta district of 

 Sierra Leone. The eight specimens were taken in the same 

 locality in the month of January in four successive years. All 

 differ only from the figure of A. vesperalis in Smith and 

 Kirby, Rhop. Exot. 19, Acraea, p. 7, pi. 3, figs. 1 and 2 (1892), 

 in the lighter ground colour of the hind-wing, which is very
