240 Mr. N. D. Riley’s Notes on 
5. Mycalesis saussurei suffusa, subsp. nov. 
3 2. Differ from typical saussurei Dewitz, by being 
entirely deficient of the transverse white band of the upper 
side of both wings. The position of this is indicated in the 
fore-wing by a slightly paler area; in the hind-wing hardly 
at all, the ground-colour having entirely displaced it. In 
addition the ocelli on fore-wing above are more in evidence 
than in the typical form, and the edge of the basal brown 
area of both wings below is straighter and encroaches more 
on the transverse white band, this latter and the remainder 
of markings of underside being otherwise typical. 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 058, g, N.W. Rhodesia, Solwezi, 11 
iv. 1918 (H. C. Dollman). 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 059, 9, N.W. Rhodesia, Solwezi, 
11 iv. 1918 (7. C. Dollman). 
In addition 11 $3 from same locality. The specimens 
referred to by Neave (P. Z.8. 1910, p. 10)—of which there 
are 2 $3, 2 99 in B.M. from “150 miles W. of Kambove ”— 
belong to this form. They do, however, show rather more 
definite indications of the transverse white band of upper- 
side than do Dollman’s specimens. 
as Only found in forest country adjacent to the Solwezi 
iver.” 
6. Henotesia perspicua Trimen. 
Mycalesis perspicua Trimen, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 
1873, p. 104. 
This species is represented by three forms :— 
(a) H. perspicua f. birsha Hew (= victorina, Westw.). 
Represented by six males taken between 31st January 
and 9th February 1917, at Mwengwa during the rains. 
They are of a very pronounced wet-season type. “* Absent 
from Solwezi District.” 
(b) H. perspicua f. perspicua Trim. 
Represented by eight males and four females all of one 
form, a more or less intermediate seasonal form, and taken 
near the Solwezi River between 24th Feb. and 13th April 
1917, except for one specimen taken on Ist October 1917. 
These periods correspond, as far as I can ascertain, with the 
end and the beginning of the rains respectively.
