the Butterflies of the White Nile. 27 



29. Lycaenesthes amarah, Guerin. 



Taken by Capt. Dunn on the Bahr al-Zarafa, and by 

 Loat at Mongalla [Lat. 5° 12' N.]. 



In 1912 I took a male at Lul [Lat. 9° 47' N.], also one 

 of each sex at Kanisa [Lat. 6° 50' N.] and a male at 

 Gondokoro. 



Its northern limit on the White Nile would appear, so 

 far at least as the above records go, to be about 10° N. 



Cholmley met with it north of Sualdn, and Yerbury at 

 Aden, where it is common. It also occurs in Somaliland, 

 in Central and East Africa and southwards down to 

 Rhodesia and Natal. 



30. Lycae'Tiesthes ofacilia, Trimen. 



I took a male on January 8th, 1912, near Soba station, 

 on the Blue Nile, about ten miles above Khartum, but have 

 no other records for this part of Africa. 



It is met with in Somaliland, British East Africa, 

 Rhodesia, Natal and Cape Colony. 



31. Azanusjesous, Guerin. 



Bingham (4. vol. ii, p. 363) considers this as the same 

 species as gamra, Lederer, and crameri, Moore : De Nice- 

 ville considers the two latter as synonyms of sigillata, 

 Butler. Loat took a male at Mongalla [Lat. 5° 12' N.], 

 but I have not myself met with this butterfly nearer to 

 the White Nile than Port Sudan. Mr. Peel took several 

 in Somaliland. It occurs in the Victoria Nyanza district, 

 in British East Africa, British Central Africa, Rhodesia 

 and Natal. Bingham (4. vol. ii, p. 364) adds Arabia, 

 (Yerbury gives sigillata), Baluchistan, a great part of India, 

 Burma and Ceylon. 



32. Azanus uhaldus, Cramer {A. zena, Moore; A. thebana 

 Staudinger). 



The Swedish expedition took it at Khartum and on 

 Abba Island [Lat. 13° 22' N.]. 



In 1909 I found it fairly common at Khartum, and also 

 took single specimens at Ad-Duwem and Hillet Abbas 

 [Lat. 13° 7' N.] as well as at Amada, in Nubia [Lat. 22° 

 45' N.]. 



In 1912 I again took it at Khartum and Ad-Duwem,
