BUTTERFLIES, MOTHS, AND BEETLES 303 



(B) One butterfly (described by the Hon. Walter Rothschild). 

 Vide " Novitates Zoologicae," vol. iii. September 1896. 



Papilio phorcas ansorgei, subsp. nov. 



It belongs to the family Papilionidae, and differs from Papilio 

 phorcas F., by the spots on the forewing, situate along the stem 

 of veins 7 and 8, being smaller and separated from the spot at 

 the base of the fork by a black interspace ; the tails are broader 

 than in phorcas. It is, as its name indicates, a green swallow- 

 tail. 



It was caught on the bleak and cold Man, in the Uganda 

 Protectorate, on May 1895. It flies high, and settles on the 

 flowers of certain shrubs which bloom in May. 



(C) Fifteen moths (described by Mr. F. Kirby, Assistant in 

 Zoological Department, British Museum, Natural His- 

 tory). Vide "Annals and Magazine of Natural History," 

 Ser. 6, vol. xviii. November 1896. 



^gocera triplagiata, var. (?) nov. dispar. 



It belongs to the family Agaristidae. Four specimens of this 

 insect were taken at the same time and place as three specimens 

 of yEgocera triplagiata Rothschild, which it resembles greatly, 

 except in the colour of the three transverse white bands on the 

 forewing. It is in all probability a dimorphic form of ^gocera 

 triplagiata Rothschild. 



It was caught in the Magwangwara country, German East 

 Africa, on January 11, 1894, in a tract thickly covered with 

 brushwood. 



ProtocercEa geraldi, sp. nov. 



It belongs to the family Agaristidaj, and is allied to Proto- 

 ceraea albigutta Karsch from Lower Guinea (?), but in that 

 species the forewings are described as black, apart from other 

 differences. Expanse : 33 millim. 



Forewings are deep red, with five white spots ; hindwings, 

 orange. 



It was caught near the Narogare River, Kavirondo, in the 

 Uganda Protectorate, along the old caravan route, on May 19, 

 1894, on an open grass plain.
