blackj with a transparent space consisting of three ovate spots,' 

 only divided by the black nervules near the apical portion of 

 the wing, and followed beneath by a second irregular row of 

 three whitish spots. The first of these is in the discoidal 

 cell ; the second, and largest, of the three lies between the 

 first and second median nervules, and the third one_, which is 

 somewhat spear-shaped, between the sub-median nervure and 

 the first median nervule. 



Hind wing. Brownish black at the base, extending more 

 narrowly along the costa and forming a fairly broad border 

 along the hind margin, which is much darker brown tiian tiie 

 basal area, where there are some indistinct black spots. The 

 discal portion of the wing has a yellow transversa band, 

 narrower than in A. lycoides^ commencing a little below the 

 costal nervure, covering about half of the cell and extending 

 to the middle of the inner margin. In the discoidal cell, close 

 to the discoccllular nervule, is a small black spot, belonging 

 to the indistinct basal series. 



Underside. Brownish black ; costa, apex, and hind margin 

 sulphur-yellow as far as the first median nervule; this yellow 

 portion crossed by black nervules and divided into twin spots 

 by a median line of black. The whitish transparent markings 

 of the upperside very distinctly indicated. 



Hind wing. Entirely sulphur-yellow, the basal area pro- 

 fusely dotted with black spots ; discal portion uniform yellow, 

 followed by the border, which is plainly divided up into twin 

 streaks by the black nervules and black median lines, which 

 are more pronounced than in either ^4. lycoides or A. dejana, 

 Godm. & Salv. 



Expanse 2 inches.

Acrcea humilis^ sp. n. 



Nearest to A. quirina in size, but differs in both wings 

 being entirely transparent and brownish in colour, where the 

 markings occur, without a single spot visible. 



Fore wing. Quite transparent ; the costa, hind margin, 

 inner margin, nervules, and base of wing dusky brown. 



Hind wing. Exactly like the fore wing. 



Underside. Very similar to the upperside, the dusky 

 sliading being rather of a warmer brown. At the base of tiie 

 hind wing this warm brown colour is more pronounced, and 

 there is one black spot between the sub-median nervure and 

 the first median nervules ; another minute black spot close to 

 the base. 



Expanse I'S inch. 



Hah. Ntebi, Uganda : November to December 1895.
