[I would suggest the name Mycalesis nandina for the Mycalesis 

 ansorgei Grose Smith, to prevent any possible confusion with

 white dots. The posterior wings are more acute at the anal 

 angle than is usual in the African section of this genus. Ex-

It was caught at Patsho, in the Nandi country, in the Uganda
