388 Mr. G. C. Dudgeon's Record of 



country is open and park-like, covered with green grass 

 in the autumn, but, for the most of the rest of the year, 

 dried or burnt over by grass fires and sparsely dotted with 

 trees mainly belonging to the following genera : Acacia, 

 Pseudocedrela, Daniellia, Lophira, Afzelia, Butyrospermum 

 and stunted bush growths of Bauliinia and Comhretiim. 



It is highly probable that most of the species hitherto 

 recorded from Senegal and N. Nigeria will eventually be 

 obtained from this region, and the present paper does 

 not pretend to be in any way complete.

1. T. armitagei, n. sp. Fig. 3, ^ upperside; Fig. 3a, 

 ^ underside ; Fig. 4, $ upperside. 



(J. Both wings white; forewing with a small triangular 

 black spot on the discocellulars and a broad black marginal band, 

 broadest on the costa where it measures 12 mm. ; the inner edge 

 of the band excised in interspaces 2, 4 and 5, the excisions filled 

 in with a pale orange-buff suffusion; the following pale orange- 

 buff markings on the black band — a double spot in 16 and smaller 

 ones in interspaces 3 and 6, a series of narrow interneural streaks 

 before the margin in interspaces 2 to 7 : hind^\'ing, with the broad 

 black marginal band continued, its inner edge crenulate; the 

 following pale orange -buff markings — a large submarginal spot in 

 interspace 6 and traces of spots in 5 and sometimes 7, marginal 

 interneural streaks in interspaces 2 to 6. Underside with the 

 broad black marginal band reproduced as on the upperside on both 

 wings : forewing from the base to nearly the end of the cell orange, 

 the area just beyond white and the markings on the black marginal 

 band lemon-yellow; the submarginal series of spots on the band 

 as follows — a double spot in 16, one each (minute) in 3 and 5 and 

 in 6, 7 and 8, that in 7 narrow ; a marginal row of evenly rounded 

 spots increasing in size from interspace 2 to 6 and a similar spot 

 in interspace 7 : hindwing with the costa orange as far as the end 

 of vein 8, the light portion of the wing and all the spots lemon- 

 yellow, an orange bar from vein 8 to the origin of vein 7, an 

 L-shaped orange mark in the cell and orange streaks along veins 

 16 and Ic; yellow spots on the band in interspaces 5, 6 and 7 and 

 yellow scales in the lower interspaces; a complete marginal series 

 of large rounded yellow spots from 16 to 6. 



9. Differs from the male in being without the orange-buff 

 suffusion and in the colour of the markings on the band, which latter 

 are white and reduced in size ; two specimens show no interneural
