the Rhopalocera of the Dollman Collection. 247 
markings, though differing in the size of them. This, 
and the large white central area of fore-wing and the white 
posterior half of hind-wing readily separate it from normal 
H. hatita, specimens of which are in the B.M. from Kam- 
bove, Katanga, in the Belgian Congo, just north of N.W. 
Rhodesia.. A very similar form occurs in Uganda (H. 
ugandae K. M. Sharpe, Entom. 1904, p. 203). 
14. *Spindasis cynica, sp. nov. 
(Plate VII, figs. 11 and 12.) 
Q. Upperside, fore-wing: the disc of wing ochreous, costa and 
hind margin very broadly black, the ochreous colour extending 
partly into distal half of cell and filling approximately the upper 
half of area 2. Four heavy black marks are conspicuous in the discal 
ochreous area, viz. across cell end, in area 5 midway between cell 
end and hind margin, in area 4 distally, and across proximal part 
of area 3 and central part of area 2, this last spot produced in fact 
towards anal angle, where it joins the marginal border and forms 
a large dark area. A light blue suffusion covers most of the proximal 
half of the wing, but does not extend much into cell anteriorly. 
Fringes white, spotted with black at the ends of the veins. Hind- 
wing : dark grey-brown, costal area and an oblong spot extending 
from vein 3 to vein 5, rather nearer margin than cell, and a broad 
ill-defined sub-marginal band, all darker. Marginal border narrow 
and black. Abdominal area light grey. A light blue suffusion as in 
fore-wing extends from base to tornus, but does not extend to costal, 
* As in the case of the preceding species, I am here again indebted 
to Mr. Talbot for a description of the male of this species, which we 
have both examined. 
3. Upperside blackish-brown. Fore-wing with a pale ochreous 
patch outside the cell in cellules 4 and 5, an indistinct spot of similar 
colour in the cell, a small spot at base of 3, and a larger one below 
it in 2; proximal three-fourths of cellule 1b pale blue, extending 
into the base of 2 and lower basal part of cell, also slight blue scaling 
below the submedian. Hind-wing with slightly paler areas indicating 
obscure dark marginal band and a post-discal spot. Inner margin 
rey. 
‘ Undelsit markings as in the female. 
Length of fore-wing, 15 mm. 
Expanse, 32 mm.
