434 My. Roland Trimen on some new species of 
beyond discoidal cell a subapical transverse black bar 
of five confluent spots, extending from costa to second 
median nervule, and slightly curving inwardly at its 
lower extremity; beyond this the ground colour is 
slightly tinged with yellow-ochreous. Hind wing :— 
Base rather widely suffused with black, a disco-cellular 
spot being partly confluent with the suffusion; a small 
spot surmounted by a thin short streak at extremity of 
discoidal cell; an irregular transverse discal row of 
seven rather small spots, of which the first and sixth 
are nearest base; on inner margin an eighth spot is 
indistinctly perceptible; a moderately broad interiorly- 
crenelated hind marginal black border, completely 
enclosing seven rather small yellow-ochreous spots. Cilia 
white, interrupted with fuscous at extremities of ner- 
vules. Under side :—Markings similar; but hind wing 
and small subapical space of fore wing pinkish white, 
and ground colour of fore wing pale salmon-pink. Fore 
wing :—Base slightly suffused with black below median 
nervure only; two very small black spots on costa at 
base, and a third (very small also) close to base in dis- 
coidal cell. Hind wing :—The basal black is a sharply- 
defined patch enclosing six white spots; an eighth and a 
ninth black spot continue the discal row to inner-mar- 
ginal edge before middle ; a regular row of seven or eight 
broad red lunulate marks interiorly bounding hind-mar- 
ginal black border; also some red suffusion exteriorly 
bounding basal black; spots in hind-marginal border 
larger than on upper side, and conspicuously creamy 
white. 
9. Semitransparent in fore wing; ground colour 
very much duller and paler ; basal black almost obsolete ; 
all the blackish markings smaller and much fainter, 
especially the hind-marginal border of hind wing, which 
is all but obsolete. Under side :—Except in the trans- 
parency of the fore wing with its fainter spots and 
duller white of the hind wing, like that of male. 
This Acrea stands between A. Acara, Hewitson, and 
A. Chilo, Godman (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1880, 
p- 184, pl. xix., figs. 4, 5), a native of Abyssinia. It 
differs from the former in its much less developed 
black markings (particularly the basal black of both 
wings, and the subapical bar and apical border of the 
fore wing), and in the apical yellow-ochreous of the 
fore wing being very much fainter. In the female these
