1888.] ON NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM KILIMA-NJARO. 91 



Descriptions of some new Lepidoptera from Kilima-njaro. 

 By ARTHUR G. BUTLER, F.L.S., F.Z.S, &c. 



Examples of some of the species here described were collected by 

 the late Bishop Hannington and of others by Mr. F. J. Jackson ; 

 in not a few cases specimens of the same species were obtained by 

 both gentlemen. 



RHOPALOCERA. 

 NYMPHALID.E. 



EUPLOCIN.E. 

 1. AMAURIS HANNINGTONI, sp. n. 



Primaries black, with pure white markings as in A. egialea, 

 excepting that all the larger spots are reduced one third in size ; 

 secondaries dark brown, with a sharply defined oblong belt united 

 by a short band to costa, from the abdominal margin to a little 

 above the cell, sordid white ; seven submarginal white spots, the 

 relative sizes of which, reckoning from costa, are 4, 6, 5, 1, 2, 7, 3 ; 

 two or three white dots nearer to the margin ; under surface only 

 differing from the upper surface as in the allied A. egialea and 

 A. hyalites. Expanse of wings 81 millim. 



Two males ; Hills of Terta in April (Hannington). 



ACILETN.E. 



The female of Acrcea (Planema) johnstoni of Grodman was in 

 the same collection and is evidently modified in imitation of the 

 foregoing Amauris ; it is black, with four white spots arranged 

 obliquely in pairs and a dull white or yellowish belt across the 

 secondaries as in the male ; the receipt of this female is most inter- 

 esting, as it is a clue to the position of the species, which is clearly 

 seen to be allied to A. (P.) lycoa from the west coast ; one example 

 was received from the Hills of Terta, another between 3000-8000 

 feet on the slopes of Kilima-njaro in March. 



2. PLANEMA MONTANA, sp. n. 



cT . Allied to P. aganice, but differing in the bright orange-fulvous 

 colour of the bands and in the greater width of the angulated band 

 of primaries. Expanse of wings 68 millim. 



Slopes of Kiiima-njaro, 3000-5000 feet, in March {Hannington). 



NYMPHALINJE. 



3. EURYPHENE VIOLACEA, Sp. n. 



cJ $ . Allied to E. neophron of Hopffer (a common Zanzibar 

 species), but differing in the purple instead of greenish-blue colora- 

 tion of the upper surface, the narrower and duller orange-ochreous 

 belt across the black apical half of primaries, and the more prominent
