(a) S: maxima f. flava, f. nov. 
(Plate VI, fig. 6.) 
3. Upperside, both wings: dark brownish-black, chequered with 
large orange subquadrate spots; fringes blackish, chequered with 
_pale yellowish. Fore-wing : basal third and area 1a lighter, greenish- 
brown; hyaline spots as in dry form, viz.: one in cell, a small 
one in area 3, and a larger below in 2, circular, and three subapical 
spots, the lower triangular, the middle one the smallest; a spot 
in cell before and below the hyaline cell spot, a similar one above 
this spot,.on costa, one below in 1b, large, a large oblong spot at 
cell end halved by the black discocellulars into two almost square 
spots, all orange; beyond these, two series of similar orange spots, the 
inner of 8, the outer of 7 spots from costa to inner margin, the series 
converging in areas 4 and 5, so that the spots of the two series are 
almost fused in those areas. Hind-wing : a small spot in cell before 
origin of vein 7 and a large one at cell end; indications of similar 
but small spots in area 7 above origin of vein 7, in areas 2 and 3 right 
at their bases, and a larger, distinct one in le centrally; a discal 
and a marginal series of six and five spots respectively, the spots in 
area 4 touching, all squarish and orange. 
Underside, fore-wing : completely orange yellow except for areas 
la, basal halves of 1b, 4 and 5, the areas immediately surrounding 
the hyaline spots, the veins, some costal shading chiefly before the 
subapical spots, and a submarginal obscure band of shading, all 
of which are black. Hind-wing: the same, with variously shaped, 
mostly squarish black spots arranged : two in cell, the distal one the 
larger and orange-centred; three in 1c, evenly spaced, the basal one 
s very diffuse; a series of seven commencing with two in area 7 and 
. extending in a semicircle to the distal spot in le (exclusive), the distal 
one in 7 the largest, the one in 3 minute; a cloudy marginal spot in 7. 
Length of fore-wing, 16 mm. 
B.M. type No. Rh. 189, 3, 27 xi. 1917, Solwezi. 
That this insect is the wet-season form of S. maxima— 
as suggested by Dollman—there seems no reason to doubt. 
The undersides are very similar and the arrangement of the 
markings coincides throughout. There is no difference 
visible in the genitalia. 
21. Eretis herewardi, sp. nov. 
(Plate VI, fig. 7.) 
3. Upperside, both wings: shiny dark grey-brown with obscure 
darker markings; fringes chequered with lighter grey rather diffusely. 
Fore-wing : seven hyaline spots, viz.: two in cell, one above the 
other, between origins of veins 3 and 11, very small, a very small one
