250 Mr. N.& Ritey’s Notes on 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 066, 3, Chanteli R., Solwezi, viii. 
1917 (H. C. Dollman). 
Three further $3 from same locality, 1 g Chipupushi R., 
Solwezi, 22 vin. 1917. They show considerable variation 
in the amount of confluence of the underside yellow ochre 
markings. They are, however, constantly separable from 
A. erikssoni by many small details such as the absence 
of spots in hind-wing above, the position of central spot 
of discal band of fore-wing below and of the 2nd spot in 
the discal series of hind-wing below. The collar, too, 
between head and thorax in A. erikssoni is dark grey or 
black, the head yellowish and underside of thorax and body 
yellowish—all different from A. affinis. 
1 3 from Lukanga R., 7 ix. 1915, which undoubtedly 
belongs to this species, is rather paler above and, below, 
has all the yellow markings much reduced, the smaller spots 
being entirely absent, and the others only half the normal 
size on the average, giving the insect a very different general 
appearance, 
16. Aloeides molomo mumbuensis, subsp. nov. 
(Plate VIT, figs. 3-6.) 
3. Upperside, both wings: orange-yellow with large dark grey- 
brown areas. Fore-wing: hind margin broadly black from costa 
to inner margin, 3 mm. broad anteriorly, 4 mm. broad on inner 
margin, a large subquadrate darker area at cell end from costa 
almost to vein 4, joining the hind marginal band on costa and 
divided from it along remainder of its outer edge by a strip about 
1 mm. wide of the orange ground-colour. Hind-wing: a similar 
spot in the same position, but reaching hind margin throughout, not 
extending beyond vein 4, a certain amount of black scaling between 
it and base of wing, and also in areas la and 1b, principally distally ; 
margin narrowly black, having a crenate appearance. Fringes of 
both wings dark grey chequered with lighter. 
Underside, fore-wing: pale greyish ochreous, a narrow orange 
stripe in cell and broader ones in areas 1b, 2 and 3; two black, silver- 
centred spots in cell, and double one on discocellulars, a discal row 
of six black spots inwardly silver edged, commencing with 2 in area 
1b, the fifth very much beyond the series; a seventh obsolete spot 
above the series and 2 in 16 on inner side of those in series; a similar 
regular series of subterminal spots all but the lower three obsolescent ; 
a marginal series of minute dark points; fringes as above. Hind- 
wing : ground-colour the same; basal area cloudily purplish-brown
