292 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



spots as follows : — One in 7, near middle, followed by two rather 

 smaller spots in 6, and 5, each rather more distally placed. 

 Two spots on upper part of discocellulars (usually confluent) a 

 spot at extreme base of area 4, a dot at base of 3, a large spot at 

 base of 2, followed in area Ic by a large figure of eight mark 

 formed by two coalescing spots. Beneath this, two spots in lb, 

 and, more proximally placed, two in la. A spot in 8 rather 

 beyond precostal, three in cell, the second large and lying 

 beyond origin of nervule 2. Some black at base of 9, cell, Ic, 

 lb, and la. Head, thorax, and abdomen black, with ochreous 

 marks and segmental dots. Claws unequal. 



$ . Eesembles $ but the subapical red spots are rather larger. 



I have seen but few examples of this apparently rare 

 species. It is quite peculiar in appearance and easily 

 recognised.

* Miss Sharpe's descrij)tion of this form does not enable me to 

 distinguish it from the usual Eastern examples. The most remark- 

 able feature of the description is the alleged pale ochreous colour of 

 the h.-w. underside. I have examined a very large number of 

 examples from Entebbe and have never seen one which did not 

 exhibit the chestnut brown colour described under the subspecies 

 rhodina. After a most diligent search, assisted by Miss Sharpe her- 

 self, I have failed to discover the type of this form, and I am therefore 

 unable to obtain any further information concerning it.
