Apr. 19, 1912: W. A. Lamborn. The moth was found, 
headless and dead, upon a forest path. 
Neaveia lamborni, H. H. Druce, male: forest, 14 miles E. of 
Oni: 5 p.m., Feb. 12, 1912: W. A. Lamborn. The butterfly 
was found, headless, but still alive, on the top of a leaf 1 ft. 
from the ground. This and the type, also from Oni (Lamborn), 
are the only specimens at present known of the species 
(Lipteninae). 
Aletis helcita, Clerck, male: Oni Clearing: Jan. 7, 1912: 
W. A. Lamborn. Found headless in verandah. This Geo- 
metrid moth was left intact and alive in the verandah overnight, 
and had doubtless been attacked by a Gecko, the only enemy 
known to exist in the verandah. Mr. Lamborn notes that 
this species fans its wings just like a butterfly when walking. 
Prof. Poulton also exhibited the two following Noctuid 
moths belonging to the Catocalinae and exhibiting similar 
injuries, probably the result of accident. The colours of 
both species were evidently procryptic. 
Homoptera mendax, Walker, female: forest, } mile E. of Oni: 
4p.m., Apr. 21,1912: W. A. Lamborn. The moth was found 
on a forest path, headless, with most of the thorax gone and 
also one wing detached. 
Anua producta, Holland, female: forest, } mile E. of Oni: 
4 p.m., May 29, 1912: W. A. Lamborn. Nearly the whole 
of the left hind-wing was gone, together with the apical part 
of both fore-wings. The moth was lying thus injured upon 
the upper surface of a leaf. 
He also showed the following examples of butterflies 
exhibiting a very different form of injury, namely a snip out 
of one or both wings inflicted in the attempt to capture—an 
attempt which had obviously failed. These injuries were 
by no means disabling and would probably have little effect 
on the flight of the species. 
Hypolimnas misippus, L., male: Petauke, East Loangwa 
district (2400 ft.), North-east Rhodesia: Jan. 25, 1905: 
S. A. Neave. The apical portion of the left fore-wing was 
shorn off as with scissors: the injury also includes a small 
notch out of the hind-wing. 
Salamis anacardia nebulosa, Trim., male: Stella Bush, nr.
