the Butterflies of the White Nile. 49 
Selous took it commonly at Ardeiba in the Southern Bahr 
al-Ghazal; Trimen (24.) notes that all Selous’ specimens, 
though some of them are rather small, are of the typical 
West Coast form. 
For the typical pylades Aurivillius (3. p. 21) gives Senegal 
to the White Nile, Northern Congo. 
Family HESPERITDAE 
71. Sarangesa eliominata, Holland. 
The Swedish expedition took two specimens, both males, 
on the White Nile, but the locality is not specified; Auri- 
villius suggests that perhaps Cyclopides phidyle, Walker 
[Entomologist, v, p. 56, 1870], may be this species. 
Peel took it in Somaliland. It occurs also in British 
East Africa, Rhodesia and in Cape Colony. 
Possibly this is identical with S. tsava, B.-Baker, a com- 
mon insect at Port Sadan. 
72. Gegenes nostradamus, Fabricius. 
Loat took three males and a female near Kaka [Lat. 10° 
40’ N.]. 
In 1912 I took one near Séba station and two at Khartim. 
In 1909 I took one (a male) at Aswan; I had previously 
taken it in Northern India. Bennett took a female in 
Sokotra, and Yerbury met with it at Aden [form karsana, 
Moore]. It occurs in British East Africa; northwards it 
extends to Cyprus; westwards to Gibraltar; and east- 
wards to Afghanistan and the Panjab. It is a dingy insect, 
and very inconspicuous, so that it might easily be over- 
looked. 
73. Parnara mathias, Fabricius. 
Loat took a male near Kaka. 
In 1912 I took one at Tombé [Lat. 5° 43’ N.] and another 
at Rejaf wooding station [Lat. 4° 50’ N.]. 
Rothschild found it commonly at Cairo, and Yerbury 
took it freely at Aden. 
This is a very common and widely-distributed species, 
but like the preceding it is inconspicuous and easily over- 
looked. It occurs in British East Africa, on the Zambesi 
and in Natal; it is found also in Cyprus and extends to 
India, Ceylon and the Philippines.
