1H88.] LEPIDOPTKRA FROM KILIM A-NJARO. 93 



somewhat worn male, received from the White Nile ; the fresh 

 specimens now in the collection prove me to have been wrong in doing 

 so, the characters which distinguish the two forms being well marked 

 and constant. In T. leo the saffron-yellow of the primaries extends 

 only from the inner margin upwards to the first median branch, 

 whereas in T. halimede it spreads to above the third branch ; all the 

 black markings are smaller and much more prominent in T. leo, 

 but the female has a blackish bar across the cell of primaries, 

 limiting the grey basal area ; this sex also has the apex of primaries 

 and the whole ground-colour of secondaries of a sandy-buff hue, the 

 latter wings having a conspicuous white spot at the end of the cell 

 and an unevenly arched series of brown spots across the disc ; some 

 females have no saffron-yellow on the upper surface. 



The feir:ale of T. miles proves to be a black-and-white form, not 

 unlike the white female of T. pseudacaste, but with less black above, 

 the veins at apex of primaries below not blackened, and the second- 

 aries buff instead of white ; there is, however, a red-tipped female 

 which, I think, belongs to the same species and which has the apex 

 of primaries and ground-colour of the secondaries below sulphur- 

 yellow. The female of T, citreus from Kilima-njaro is, on the upper- 

 side, very like that sex of T. topha, but the black markings are 

 reduced and more sharply defined ; below it more nearly resemb'es 

 T. xanthevarne $ , the secondaries white with pale yellowish-brown 

 markings and olive and black mottling as in T. eucharis $ , but with 

 a conspicuous brown-edged white discocellular spot. 



The synonymy of T. incretus will, as I suspected, stand as 

 follows : 



TKRACOLUS INCRETUS.

 (1881). 



d . Callosune vulnerata, Staudinger, Exot. Schmett. pi. 23. fig. 21 

 (1884). 



Both sexes of this, the largest species of the T. evarne group, 

 were obtained both by Bishop Hannington arid Mr. Jackson ; so 

 that there is now no doubt of the correctness of my expressed opinion 

 that C. vulnerata would prove to be the male of my species ; the 

 figure by Staudinger is poor, the colouring of the secondaries being 

 exaggerated and the black bordering of the primaries incorrectly 

 drawn, still it is fcs good as the majority of the illustrations in this 

 book, which (whatever its faults may be) has the merit of being 

 cheap. As with other species of the T. evarne group, a white form 

 of the female is by no means uncommon ; it is a little smaller than 

 the yellow female and, excepting in its superior size and in the details 

 of marking on the under surface, greatly resembles that sex of 

 T. topha. ' 



The male, on the under surface, is extremely variable ; indeed no 

 two specimens are alike; the following may be noted: 



a. Secondaries below whitish sulphur, excepting at the borders, 

 which are pure sulphur-yellow ; a minute duskv costal spot, dark
