158 On new Species of East- African Lepidoptera. 



XXVI. — Descriptions of Two new Species of Lepidoptera 

 collected by Dr. W. J. Ansorge in East Africa. By Emily 

 Mauy Sharpe. 



Fam. Danaidae. 

 Amauris Ansorgei, sp. n. 



Allied to A. EUioti, Butler, but differs in having the spots 

 on the fore wing white instead of yellow. In this respect it 

 may be compared with A. lohengula, Sharpe, but the spots 

 are somewhat differently placed and the basal area of the hind 

 wing is dull argillaceous, with a very broad marginal border 

 and a row of indistinct yellow spots varying in size. 



Fore wing. Ground-colour brownish black, with white 

 spots ; these spots correspond exactly with A. EUioti^ figured 

 in the Proc. Zool. Soc. 1895, p. 723, pi. xlii. fig. 1. 



Hind wing. The Avhole of the basal area dull argillaceous, 

 with abroad marginal border and a submarginal row of testa- 

 ceous spots, which are rather indistinct and vary in size. The 

 first three spots occur, two between the first and second sub- 

 costal nervule, the third between the second subcostal nervule 

 and the radial nervule; between the second and third median 

 nervules is a distinct spot ; the other spots are almost 

 obliteiated. There are five minute white spots at the extreme 

 edge of the hind margin. 



Underside. Similar to A. EUioti^ having all the spots 

 ■white on the fore wing instead of yellow. The submarginal 

 row of spots on the hind wing is entirely white and in pairs 

 on either side of the nervules. A second row of minute white 

 spots follows in pairs between each nervule at the extreme 

 edge of the hind margin. The argillaceous base extends 

 from the middle of the costa along the inner margin to the 

 anal angle. 



S .—Loc. Uganda, Dec. 30, 1894. 



Expanse 3*1 inches. 



Fam. SatyridsB. 

 Mycalesis Ansorgei, sp. n. 



This species is allied to M. rlianidostroina, Karsch, and 

 M. saga, Butler, on the underside. 



Eore wing. Basal area dark velvet-brown ; a light ochra- 

 ceous curved band from the costa crossing the apical portion 

 to the submedian nervure; a small ocellus is distinctly visible
