250 DR. A. G. BUTLER ON LEPIDOPTERA. [Mar. 19, 



On Collections of Lepidoptera from British Central Africa 

 and Lake Tanganyika. By ARTHUR G. BUTLER, Ph.D., 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



(Plates XV. & XVI.) 



In 1894 we received, through Mr. A. Whyte, F.Z.S., a small 

 collection of Lepidoptera made at Zomba by Mr. J. McClounie, 

 especially remarkable for the number of specimens of the genus 

 Charasces which it contained. Among these were specimens of the 

 female of G. why id (the male of which I had described and figured 

 in the Society's Proceedings for 1893), of two previously unnamed 

 forms, possibly distinct species, and of two undoubtedly new 

 species, also examples of C. nyasana confounded by the late 

 Mr. Hewitson with his C. azota. 



A second series has been selected from a large consignment of 

 Lepidoptera collected at Fwambo, Lake Tanganyika, by Mr. Alex- 

 ander Carson. This is especially interesting, not only as including 

 examples of rare species previously only received from Zomba
