2-14 On Tivo 7ieiv Butterjlies from Equatorial Africa. 



whole of the basal halt of the wintr is uniform brown. The 

 band on the secondaries which crosses the centre of tlie wing 

 from the costa to the inner margin is ochraceous and 

 slightly broader than in N. incongrua^ which has this band 

 white. 



Underside. General colour pale brown, the nervules and a 

 patch near the discoidal cell of the primaries darker brown. 

 Secondaries pale brown, the nervules and hind marginal 

 border slightly darker, with a very distinct and dark brown 

 patch well pronounced towards the apex. Tlie light markings 

 on the upperside of both wings are very distinctly reproduced 

 below.

Family Acraeidae. 



Planema nandensis, sp. n. 



Allied to P. flava^ Dewitz, but altogether smaller. The 

 blackish band on the primaries which crosses from the dis- 

 coidal cell unites with the hind margin, and is distinctly 

 narrower than in P.fiava^ as are also the brown apical and 

 hind marginal borders. Secondaries entirely ochre-yellow, 

 the brownish hind margin being very much narrower as 

 compared with that of the allied form. 



Underside. The dark brown borders of the upper surface 

 are reproduced on the underside by a mere representation of 

 dusky brown, but the cross-band on the primaries at the end 

 of the discoidal cell is equally strongly marked as on the 

 upper surface, though there is no connexion with the hind 

 marginal border. The secondaries have a cluster of nine 

 minute spots near the base, the central area of the wings 

 being ochre-yellow, with the nervules and marginal border 

 dusky brown. 



Expanse 1*7 inch.

This species is doubtless nearly allied to Acreea disjuncta of 

 Mr. Grose-Smith (Nov. Zool. v. p. 351, 1898), but there are 

 many points of difference, which will be readily seen on com- 

 paring his description with the one given above.
