Euri/tela dri/npe var. aiigulnki Aurivilliiis, /..■. p. 154. sub n. 2 (1899) (Natal, etc.); Pagenst., /.c. 

 p. 145. n. 2 (1902). 



3 c?cJ,6 ?? from: Abd-el-Kadr, south of Hai-ar, l(j. v. 00; Gillet, Mts., 

 1900—2200 m., 1. & 4. vii. 00; Walenso, Gillet Mts., 2000 m., 9. vii. 00;

All nine specimens, as well as several others from North Somaliland aud 

 Erytrea, have, ou the underside of the hindwiug;, a conspicuous pale costal spot 

 like the sj)ecimeus from East aud South Africa, and the forewing is strongly 

 angulate at R'.

Eurytela rettechi Mabille, Ann. Soc. Eiit. Fraiice p. 19 note (1890) (E. Afr.). 



Nej)tkl(>psis ophium: var. velleda, Aurivillius, I.e. p. 156. sub n. 1 (1899) ; Pagenst., I.e. p. 144. n. 1

The specimens are not diti'erent from East African ones. 



The Continental individuals of Neptidopsis Jidyarata, which have hitherto 

 been treated as being identical with Malagasic ones (see Aurivillius, I.e. p. 156. n. 2) 

 are distinguished by several characters. The wings are less angulated, the three 

 proximal patches of the posterior white area of the forewing are smaller, while 

 the white spot R' — M' which stands outside the respective white patch is larger ; 

 the inner one of tbe two spots situated between the anterior and posterior white 

 areas is obsolete, and the outer one distinct ; distally of the white patch R' — R*, 

 which is sinuate in Continental specimens, there is one distinct white dot in 

 Malagasic individuals and three white marks in ( 'outinental ones, the third mark 

 being the largest. Of the two white patches situated on the hindwing between 

 the white band aud the costal angle the proximal one is reduced in the Continental 

 form. On the underside the brown lines and patches are much more extended 

 than in Malagasic fulgurata, the white scaling in the basal and distal regions 

 being reduced to well-defined lines and patches, the distal area differing especially 

 from that of fiilg. fulgurata in being sharply marked with brown aud white. 



We name this subspecies 



N. fulgurata platyptera subsp. nov. 

 Type from Mikindani, German East Africa (Reimer).

The two individual forms of this species, f. ilith;/iii and f. polixice, which differ 

 on the upper and under surface, are connected with one another by all inter- 

 gradations. B. ilithyia f. j>olinice is more extended black, especially in the ? , than
