Notes on some British East African Butterflies. 555 



to (1) a costal border, rather narrow and dark as far as end 

 of discoidal cell, but expanding (with a considerable irrora- 

 tion of fulvous scales) from a little beyond cell to apex into 

 a rather wide form, inferiorly bounded by fifth sub-costal 

 uervule ; (2) a very attenuated faintly marked hind-marg- 

 inal edging, expanding to enclose the two very much 

 enlarged spots of the ground colour between 3rd and 1st 

 median nervules ; and (3) a little sparse extra-cellular 

 irroration indicating the position of the usual broad band 

 separating sub-apical oblique bar (which is normally white, 

 but sometimes fulvous as in the example under description, 

 in the troplionius-ioxxo) from large patch occupying inner- 

 marginal area ; — also some sparse fuscous irroration about 

 base and over basal two-thirds of cell ; with the exception 

 of the retention on costa of the pale yellowish and whitish 

 origins of usual oblique disco-cellular streak and extra- 

 cellular sub-apical bar, all the rest of the wing is occupied 

 by warm-fulvous — the two markings just mentioned being 

 much enlarged, and, except as regards their costal portions, 

 •completely merged and confluent with each other and with 

 the general fulvous area. Hind-wing : costal border pale 

 yellowish shading into fulvous field a little below sub-costal 

 nervure and its 1st nervule ; hind-marginal border un- 

 mixed fuscous only between apex and radial nervule, the 

 rest being closely irrorated with fulvous ; all the enclosed 

 internervular paired spots very much enlarged and (with the 

 exception of 1st and 2nd pairs which are creamy-whitish) 

 of the fulvous ground colour. Under side. — Fulvous area 

 much as on upper-side, but apical and hind-marginal 

 border of fore-wing ochre-yellow instead of fuscous, and a 

 rather wide basal space of hind-wing, from costa to inner 

 margin, pale yellowish. Fore-toing : fuscous costal border in 

 cell inferiorly better defined than on upper side, and extra- 

 cellular discal fuscous irroration closer and darker. Hind- 

 wing : pale yellowish basal space extending to extremity 

 of cell, slightly irrorated with fulvous about base, along 

 ordinary dark cellular longitudinal streaks, and on outer 

 edge ; succeeding it a ferruginous-fulvous discal band, 

 very narrow costally but widening greatly to inner 

 margin, externally blending with tlie ill-defined inner 

 edge of the hind-marginal border, which is of a slightly 

 greyish-ochreous, with its enclosed paired spots faint 

 and blurred, but enlarged and coloured as on upper 

 side.
