thorax much longer than broad, closely and finely punctate ; 
scutellum narrowly triangular; elytra wedge-shaped, narrower 
than the middle of the prothorax and about a third longer, 
striate-punctate, the punctures approximate; body beneath 
finely punctate, except the last three abdominal segments ; 
legs glossy black. 
Form, colour, and absence of scales will at once distinguish 
this species from its only congener, Z. monachus, Ol. 
XII.—On some Lepidoptera from the Victoria Nyanza. 
By Artuur G. Butter, F.L.S., F.Z.8., &e. 
In a small collection recently made by the Rev. James Han- 
nington, I find not a few species of great interest ; amongst 
those already known to science may be mentioned Salatura 
dorippus, both with and without an oblique subapical series 
of small white spots across the under surface of the primaries ; 
a worn example of Charaxes saturnus, specimens of which 
species we have from the Zambesi, the Congo, and Delagoa 
Bay ; Junonia micromera, acommon Abyssinian species ; the 
Southern J. cloantha and J. pelasgis ; a splendid male of Crenis 
rosa, the female of which was described from Delagoa Bay ; 
Acrea neobule; Acrea acara; Ypthima simplicia of Abyssinia; 
Myrina pallene, described from Caffraria ; Aphneus natalen- 
sis; Teracolus hetera??; T. castag, T. maimuna, agreeing 
with examples from Angola; Papilio corineus; Ismene an- 
chises; and a Saturnia®* very near to S. dyops of Natal. 
It will therefore be seen that there is in this collection a 
decidedly South-African element—a fact even more strongly 
brought out by the affinity of the new species to Southern 
forms.

1. Ypthima granulosa, sp. n. 
Above similar to Y. sémplicia, excepting that the wings 
are more rounded and the ocellus on the primaries is smaller 
and narrower; smoky grey, the primaries paler towards apex 
and with a well-defined arched darker submarginal stripe, a

tern of one wing being printed off upon the other; the ocelli on the 
under surface of primaries upon the costal border of secondaries above, 
as well as part of the discal band beyond them.
