rounded in one specimen from Toro and of exceptionally large size, recalling the 
appearance in P. amenaida var. nyassana, Auriv. Kach inwardly directed angle 
of the serrated margin on the upper-side coincides with the position of one of these 
marks on the under-side, as can be easily seen when the specimen is held to the 
light. 
All the spots upon the upper surface are represented by corresponding ones 
(which are generally better marked) on the under-surface. ‘This is especially the 
case in the discal rows of spots on both wings. ‘That on the fore-wing comprises 
six spots, two of them being in the apical region, and that on the hind seven 
similar spots. 
Additional marks on the under-surface are, in the fore-wing, a fourth distally 
placed subcostal spot, and in the hind-wing three large spots, placed just beyond 
the posterior margin of the discoidal cell. 
In the reduction of the number of spots and in the sub-marginal 
streaks on the under-surface, P. clarensis exhibits an approach to P. 
pauli, Staud., but the reduction in the number of spots is not carried 
to the same extent, nor are the submarginal marks on the under- 
surface so linear in form as in that species. It is also interesting to 
note that in some specimens of P. tropicalis, Boisd., there is a feeble 
representation of the same serrated border to the hind-margin of the 
fore-wing which occurs in P. clarensis. 
There can be but little doubt that P. clarensis provides an 
instance of Millerian association with the very plentiful and widely 
distributed Pardopsis punctatissima, Boisd., to which it bears a marked 
general resemblance. 
Three specimens of this Lycenid, all ¢’s, have recently been 
presented to the Hope Collection by Mr. Clare Aveling Wiggins, of 
Kisumu, after whom the species has been named. Two of them 
were collected by natives for Major Rattray in the Toro district in 
Western Uganda, in November and December, 1900, and presented by 
him to Mr. Wiggins. The third specimen was captured by Mr. 
Wiggins himself at Nyangori, near the east shore of the Victoria 
Nyanza, November 1--8, 1902. Mr. Wiggins is a most ardent 
Entomologist, and has, within the last six months, sent several 
thousand specimens of Lepidoptera from this district to the Hope 
department. 
In conclusion, I should like to express my thanks to Mr. H. H. 
Druce for his kindness in giving his opinion upon this species.
