cell and between the discal line and the submarginal row, another 

 row of six reddish-brown spots from hind-margin to vein 7 ; veins 

 blackish in marginal area ; hind-wing yellow with five reddish- 

 brown spots from vein 2 to 7, becoming larger and more distinct 

 towards costal margin, veins 4^-7 blackish at termen ; wings below 

 yellow with submarginal row of brownish spots. 

 Expanse 72 mm. 



Brit. Central Africa : Fwambo. 

 Nearly allied to L. varia, Walk., but differing in the 

 reddish suffusion of the fore-wing and probably distinct. 



Beralade, Walk. 



The genera Chilcna, Walk. (1855), and Lahca, Wallengr. 

 (1805), are not structurally distinct from Beralade. Sena, 

 Walk. (18G2), is also probably founded on a species of this 

 genus. 



Some of the species of Beralade are very nearly allied, 

 and may perhaps only be colour-varieties. At present we 

 know however but little of their variability. The species 

 of Beralade are found in dry regions, and the larvae feed 

 probably on thorny bushes in the desert. 



I give here a key to the African species known to me, 

 including also the new ones described below.
