ColleclioH of Butter Jiies taken in East Africa. 327 



Somaliland form mentioned in my monograph, though 

 several of the females are more than usually transparent. 

 Ufiomi (plains), Same, Tanga Moshi Ry., Ssalanga, 

 Mabirioni, Handeni. 34 ^S, 8 ??. June 5-July 23. 



A. equatorialis, Neave. 



A single male example in fine condition, presenting the 

 coloration of true equatorialis combined with the larger 

 size so usually found in equatorialis anaemia, Eltr. Also 

 one other specimen of the anaemia form, unfortunately 

 without data. 



Kikuletwa-Darjama R. 1 (^. May 19. 



A. natalica natalica, Boisd. 



Five examples of this common species all of typical 

 appearance. 



New Moshi, Sanja R. 4 S^, 1 $. May 6-11. 



A. anacreon, Trim. 



Two examples of this species were taken, one male and 

 one female. Though somewhat faded and worn they are 

 interesting as showing an intermediate condition between 

 anacreon honiba f . induna, Trim., and anacreon anacreontica, 

 Gr. Sm. As in the latter, the fore- wing apical black is 

 very much reduced and the outer half of the wing is 

 ochreous; the base of fore-wing and the whole hind-wing 

 is deep orange as in the induna form. They thus support 

 my contention that anacreon, bomba, and anacreontica are 

 all forms of the same species. The resemblance of the 

 female example to the specimens of acrita manca, with which 

 it was taken, is very striking.

A. encedon, Linn. 



Of twenty-one examples there is no specimen of true 

 encedon. The daira form largely predominates, and 

 alci])pina is absent. It is interesting to note that of forty 

 examples of D. chrysippus in the same collection, three 

 are typical, one is the alcipjnis form, three albinus, and all 

 the rest are of the dorippus form to which encedon f. 

 daira corresponds.
