48 [February, 1913. 



34. — Acrsea chilo, Godm. Coast district. Taita, Taveta. The species is often 

 common. The female was long kno^vn as A. crystallina, which is not 

 surjirising, as both wings are quite transparent, and the spots are 

 obsolete in the fore wings and much reduced in the hind wings. 



35. — Acrsea acrita, Hew. Taita, Taveta, Ukambani, Kikuyu. Generally 

 common. Most specimens are of the form pudorina. 



36. — Acrsea equatorialis, Neave. Coast district, Taita. Not uncommon. This 

 form has recently been separated from the type by Mr. Eltringham 

 under the name of ansemia. 



37. — Acrsea pudorella, Auriv. Taita, Taveta. Apparently not common. 



38. — Acrsea caldarena, Hew. Eabai. This species does not seem by any means 

 common. The examples taken are not typical lacking as they do the 

 pronounced black tip to the fore-wings. 



39. — Acrsea hrsesia, Godm. Generally distributed. This species is particxilarly 

 abundant in Taita, where the form regalis also is of freqixent occurrence. 



40. — Acrsea oncsea, Hopif . Widely distributed and often common. 



41. — Acrsea csecilia, Fabr. Not uncommon in Ukambani and probably occurs 

 elsewhere. 



42. — Acrsea natalica, Boisd. Generally abundant. 



43. — Acrsea terpsichore, L. Ubiqixitous. I once found a pupa all golden on a 

 yellow leaf. Each day when the svm was hot it raised itself so as to lie 

 along the underside of the leaf. Was this due to the heat of the sun ? 



44. — Acrsea excelsior, Sharpe. I have only taken this at considerable elevations 

 on the Aberdare Mountains up to 11,000 ft. 



45, — Acrsea acerata, Hew. Taita, Kikuyu. All my specimens of this common 

 species seem to be of the form tenella. 



46. — Acrsea honasia alicia, Shai-pe. Ukambani, Kikuyu, Kenia. Often exceed- 

 ingly abundant. I once counted 460 on one small tree. 



47. — Acrsea uvui, Smith.. Kikuyu, Kenia. Not uncommon. It is not possible to 

 distinguish this from the preceding on the wing. 



48. — Acrsea cabira, HopfP. This is a common species everywhere except in the 

 coast district. It is very variable. 



49. — Acrsea pharsalus. Ward. Taita, North Kikiiyu.- Generally rather 

 uncommon. 



50. — Acrsea encedon, L Ubiquitous. The daira form seems to be the most 

 numerous, but all forms occur. 



51. — Acrsea auhyni, Eltr. Coast district. This species does not seem common. 

 It flies rather higher than most of its congeners but not rapidly 



52. — Acrsea johnstoni, Godm. Taita, Taveta, Kikuyu, Kenia. A most protean 

 species which seems to have been modified in mimicry of several species 

 of Danaidse and Planema.
