56 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monografh of the 



spot midway between base and nervule 2. H.-w. brick red with 

 a very little blackish at base and a narrow grey-black hind 

 marginal border. A few black spots as on underside. 



Underside. Both wings almost scaleless. H.-w. spots as 

 follows. Two in 7, the second just beyond origin of 

 nervule 7. Two in cell on one wing and one on the other, the 

 second spot just before origin of nervule 2. In areas 3, 2, Ic, 

 and lb a row of discal spots lying almost in a horizontal line 

 and beyond these in 3, 2, and Ic traces of submarginal dots are 

 visible with a lens. A subbasal spot in Ic, lb, and la, that in 

 lb more distally placed than the others. 



Head and thorax black with a few pale dots, abdomen black 

 above with yellowish white lateral dots. Claws unequal. 



The foregoing description and the figure on Plate IV are 

 from the type now in Mr. J. J. Joicey's collection. This 

 example is the only one I have seen and bears the 

 label Entebbe 1906, though I have reason to suppose it was 

 taken in the Toro region. I strongly suspect it to be a 

 form or aberration of A. cerasa. I have not seen an ex- 

 ample of the latter from Entebbe, although I have handled 

 many thousands of specimens from that locality. The 

 specimen of A. cerita remains unique and until further 

 material becomes available I must allow it to stand as a 

 species.

Acraea unimacnlata, Gr. Smith, Novit. Zool., v. p. 350 (1898) ; 

 Aurivillius, Rhop. Aeth. (= humilis), p. 86, 1898 ; Smith & 

 Kirby, Rhop. Exot. (Acraea), vi. pi. 6, f. 1, 2, 3 (1901). 

 British E. Africa (15 m. N. of Kisumu, Kabras, Nandi). 



^ . Expanse about 50 mm. F.-w. transparent owing to reduc- 

 tion of scales to hairs. Costal margin and apex slightly dusted 

 with black scales. Basal area dull red (probably brighter in 

 life) extending nearly to end of cell, just beyond origin of first 

 median, and nearly to hind angle. Base slightly dusted with 

 black. H.-w. of the same red as f.-w. A semitransparent 

 margin, slightly dusted with black scales, nearly J in. wide at 

 apex and tapering to nothing at inner angle. Base blackish. 

 Underside devoid of scales and vitreous. Two black spots in 

 cell, one in Ic and two or three basal spots at junction of wing 

 and thorax. All except the inner cell spot may be absent. 

 Thorax and abdomen black above, paler beneath, with yellowish 

 lateral segmental spots. Claws unequal.
