the Butterflies of the White Nile. 19 
2. Tirumala petiverana, Doubleday and Hewitson. 
This was taken by Dunn on the Bahr al-Zarafa, but I 
did not meet with it myself, and I have no other record from 
the district. 
It is found in Abyssinia and Somaliland, and has a wide 
range in tropical Africa from East to West. 
Sub-family SAT YRINAE. 
3. Yphthima asterope, Klug. The types came from 
Syria and Arabia. 
The sole record that I possess of this butterfly—the only 
White Nile Satyrine known to me—occurring within the 
area under consideration, is that of a single example being 
found upon our steamer near Kanisa [Lat. 6° 50’ N.] on 
February 17th, 1912. 
Selous took a male in 1911 on the Southern Bahr al- 
Ghazal. It is not uncommon at Port Sfid4in. and Col. 
Yerbury found it in some numbers at Aden. Dr. Dixey 
and I took it in Natal and Rhodesia; it is indeed a common 
and widely distributed African species. The Hope collec- 
tion contains specimens from British East Africa, Lake 
Nyassa, Somaliland, and Lagos. 
Sub-family NY MPHALINAE. 
4. Pyrameis cardwi, Linn. 
This cosmopolitan species was taken by Capt. Dunn on 
the Bahr al-Zarafa, also by Loat—a single female at Kaka. 
The Swedes took two males at Ad-Duwém. 
Though in 1909 I found cardui common near the point 
of junction of the Blue and White Niles, and saw it at 
the same place in 1912, it is remarkable that I have no 
record of having even seen it on either of my voyages up 
the White Nile. It may reasonably be inferred that it 
is not very common in that district, at all events during 
the month of February. 
The Rothschild party took one on the Atbara; Yerbury 
found it commonly at Aden; Peel did not take it in Somali- 
land, but Bennett found it “‘common everywhere” in 
Sokotra. Personally I have found it common enough 
in Algeria, Cairo, Aswin, Natal and Cape Colony.
