 ^?. Similar to .J. niacUs num.s, but the wbite subapical band of the 

 forewin.. distinctly narrower, the last patch of the band especally be.ng shor er 

 elvL room for one or two separate white dots near the distal margm of the 

 X tl e black (respectively brown-black) apical marginal band of the hmdw.ng 

 lecfd^dly wider on the nnderside, the difference in width not being so obvious 

 on the npperside.

.5. Amauris ochleides darius subsp. nov. 



^ Differs from oekl. ochleides in the submarginal and admarginal white 

 dots being less numerous, especially on the npperside, and in the posteriorly 

 less extended white area of the hindwing. From .././. bnnnUen it is distinguished 

 Lr alia, by the cell-patch and the patch M'-M^ of the forewing being 

 contiguous.

The number of white admarginal and submarginal dots is ve y variable, 

 some s ecimens have as many such dots on the undersicl. o ^^-e - -ng a 

 are present in ochleides ochleides, and in one individual all the white dots ton ml 

 on the npperside of the hindwing of ochl. ochleicks are at least indicated. The 

 1 subapLd dots of the forewing are absent from the npperside m man 

 individuals, sometimes also from the nnderside. The forewing is a little less 



elongate than in ochl. bumilleri. An«..rcrp at the 



We have a long series of ochl. bumilleri, obtained by Dr. Anso ge at he 

 north end of Lake Nyassa. In one of these specimens the - ■'P;;^^!^ ^^^ 

 mtch M'-M= of the forewing are contiguous, approaching in size the patche.s ot 

 Tocl. From this specimen .1. orhl. darius differs ,.y the -dian aii 

 siibapical bands of the forewing being narrower and the white area ot 



'''';tf''i"t':;; same in A. ochleides and .L oehlea, the position of: tlie 

 spots and patches is also the same, and the sexual --ature d..es no ex^uM 

 any difference. Possibly A. ochlea and ochleides are forms of the same specie 

 ^irl ng the insect inhabiting the coast districts, ocxurnng '"'-;--- 

 the north end of Lake Nyassa, bumilleri occupying the Tanganyika piat.au 

 "rn-rthe Cithern districts c.f tl.e Aethiov.au i^mpire. and ochleides Erytrea and 

 probably Abyssinia proper.
