discocellular spot. Hind-wing from base to middle scaled 
with yellowish-brown. 
Spanish Guinea, Makomo, Ntume Region. 1 ¢. 
Acraea egina & f. alba, f. nov. 
Griinberg has already * remarked on the 9 9 of A. egina 
from Sesse I. Examples received at Oxford from Dr. 
Carpenter exhibit the same peculiarities, and it seems 
desirable that the form should have a name. On the 
upperside there is no trace of red or ochreous. The 
ground-colour is dark sepia grey to black. There is a 
white subapical bar in fore-wing and the outer half of 
cell, the space just beyond end of cell, base of area 2, and 
central part of area 1b are dusky white. In the hind-wing 
the internervular spaces and often the central part of cell 
are also powdered with dusky white. On the underside 
there is no red except in area 9, base of 7, base of cell, 
and of areas lc, 1b and la. 
There are in the Oxford collection one or two very similar 
examples from near Mombasa, but these are associated 
with $ ¢ of the areca form, whereas the 3 egina in Sesse I. 
is of the typical or western pattern. 
The close resemblance of this form to the rare western 
form medea is very remarkable. 
Sesse I. Type, Oxford. 
Acraea terpsichore {. ventura, Hew. (note). 
Griinberg has also noted (J. c.) that examples of A. 
terpsichore from Sesse I. have the red patches on the 
hind-wing underside exceptionally well marked. Dr. 
Carpenter’s specimens also show this feature, and all belong 
to the ventura form though differing in the fact that the 
subapical patch of ground-colour in fore-wing is rarely 
completely cut off by the discal black bar. The brilliance 
of the red on the hind-wing underside is In most examples 
very noticeable, and the inner edge of the marginal border 
is also frequently dusted with red. The form is scarcely 
sufficiently well defined to require a name. 
One ¢ example differs from all the others in having 
the marginal and subapical black of the fore-wing and the 
marginal black of the hind-wing considerably extended, 
so that the spots of ground-colour are much reduced and
