the Butterflies of the White Nile. 27 
29. Lycaenesthes amarah, Guérin. 
Taken by Capt. Dunn on the Bahr al-Zarafa, and by 
Loat at Mongalla [Lat. 5° 12’ N.]. 
In 1912 I took a male at Lal [Lat. 9° 47’ N.], also one 
of each sex at Kanisa [Lat. 6° 50’ N.] and a male at 
Gondokoro. 
Its northern limit on the White Nile would appear, so 
far at least as the above records go, to be about 10° N. 
Cholmley met with it north of Suakin, and Yerbury at 
Aden, where it is common. It also occurs in Somaliland, 
in Central and East Africa and southwards down to 
Rhodesia and Natal. 
30. Lycaenesthes otacilia, Trimen. 
I took a male on January 8th, 1912, near Soba station, 
on the Blue Nile, about ten miles above Kharttim, but have 
no other records for this part of Africa. 
It is met with in Somaliland, British East Africa, 
Rhodesia, Natal and Cape Colony. 
31. Azanus jesous, Guérin. 
Bingham (4. vol. ui, p. 363) considers this as the same 
species as gamra, Lederer, and crameri, Moore: De Nicé- 
ville considers the two latter as synonyms of sigillata, 
Butler. Loat took a male at Mongalla [Lat. 5° 12’ N.], 
but I have not myself met with this butterfly nearer to 
the White Nile than Port Sadan. Mr. Peel took several 
in Somaliland. It occurs in the Victoria Nyanza district, 
in British East Africa, British Central Africa, Rhodesia 
and Natal. Bingham (4. vol. ii, p. 364) adds Arabia, 
(Yerbury gives sigillata), Balichistan, a great part of India, 
Burma and Ceylon. 
32. Azanus ubaldus, Cramer (A. zena, Moore; A. thebana 
Staudinger). 
The Swedish expedition took it at Khartiim and on 
Abba Island [Lat. 13° 22’ N.]. 
In 1909 I found it fairly common at Khartiim, and also 
took single specimens at Ad-Duwém and Hillet Abbas 
[Lat. 13° 7’ N.] as well as at Amada, in Nubia [Lat. 22° 
45’ N1]. | 
In 1912 I again took it at Khartfim and Ad-Duwém,
