the Rhopalocera of the Dollman Collection. 251 
followed by paler area; discal area similar, marginal area much paler ; 
numerous rather brassy metallic spots, namely one basal one in cell, 
a sub-basal series of 4, a series consisting of 2 large spot on disco- 
cellulars and one each in 16 and 1c, and two discal series, each of 
eight sometimes almost obsolete spots, the outer series regular, 
the inner series with the 2nd, 4th and 6th spots (counting from costa) 
well beyond the others; a marginal series of grey spots. 
. The same but with ground-colour slightly paler. 
Length of fore-wing, ¢ 14 mm., 2 15 mm. 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 067, 3, 068, 9. Both from Mumbwa, 
1 ix. 1913 (A. C. Dollman). 
Readily separable from typical A. molomo by the division 
of the black costal area from the reduced hind marginal 
border by the ground-colour in fore-wing and by the restric- 
tion of black markings of hind-wing to the area above vein 
4. Below, the hind-wing is more evenly mottled in appear- 
ance. The narrow black border to the hind-wing above is 
very much as in A. damarensis, which is probably a local 
race of the same species. 
In addition 4 gg, 3 22 same date and locality. “ Very 
local, being only found on one part of the plains in front 
of the Boma; often settling on the red-brown soil, some- 
times on flowers.” 
17. Aloeides griseus, sp. nov. 
(Plate VII, figs. 1 and 2.) 
3. Upperside, both wings : darkish grey-brown, with faint brassy 
reflections, fringes obscurely chequered with slightly paler greyish. 
Fore-wing : avery faint lighter mark on the discocellulars and indica - 
tions of a submarginal series of oblong paler markings. Hind-wing : 
indications of a similar but even fainter series of submarginal spots, 
particularly posteriorly; margin rather dentate. 
Underside, both wings : same colour as above, densely sprinkled 
with lighter, yellowish scales; the arrangement of spots the same 
as in preceding species. Fore-wing: the white, hardly metallic 
parts of spots very conspicuous, the submarginal series more even, 
marginal series barely traceable. Hind-wing: many of the spots 
hardly traceable, remainder brassy-yellow and very indistinct, not 
metallic. 
Q. Similar in all respects, but the markings heavier. Upperside, 
fore-wing : the marginal series represented by a diffuse paler band. 
Hind-wing : the same represented by a wavy ill-defined band. The 
fringes more distinctly chequered.
