New or little-known forms of Acraea. 413 
the fore-wing subapical patch is very small. In this 
example the underside of hind-wing has the basal portion 
dull red, the discal area dusted with red and the inner edge 
of the hind-marginal border of the same colour. The 
hind-marginal border is without the characteristic black 
internervular triangular markings.

(1910). 
Described by Griinberg from three male examples from 
Lake Kiwu. 
The form resembles A. egina f. harrisoni, Sharpe, but 
the black spots of the hind-wing are much smaller, and on 
the hind-wing underside the hind-marginal black is much 
reduced. 
A similar example occurs in the Oxford collection and 
was taken by Neave on Chirui Island, L. Bangweolo.
