(S d", Kondowi, Lower Nyika, 4110 feet alt., April 4th to 0th, 

 1805. 



"White antennae Skipper" (R. C.). One specimen collected 

 by Mr. William Murray of the Livingstone Mission. 



This is the species of which \ve received a damaged example 

 from Fwambo (see P. Z. 8. 1805, p. 200. n. 03). M. Mabille says 

 that his specimen is a male ; and, although this may he an error, 

 the number and character of the spots in the present species differ 

 considerably and are evidently tolerably constant : the sexes 

 rarely show so marked a difference in this group. 



104. PEIHCIIAKES TELISIGXATA, sp. n. (Plate VI. fig. 9.) 



c? . Purplish black ; primaries with markings nearly as in the 

 preceding species, but the discoidal spots united into one and only 

 separated from the two median spots by the veins ; they thus form 

 a single hyaline patch as in Coladenin dan; the subapical spots also 

 form a short transverse trifid bar, and the yellow spot near inner 

 margin is slightly paler; the secondaries are small, without 

 markings, with greenish hairs at base and white fringe; body 

 blackish brown in front, but the thorax and abdomen densely 

 covered with grey-greenish hair ; antennae pure white, with black 

 terminal hook. Primaries below dull black ; the costal border, 

 which expands into a broad subapical patch, fiery copper-brown, 

 internal area grey, with a large central diffused dull white patch ; 

 external border to below second median branch rosy brown ; 

 hyaline spots as above : secondaries fiery copper-brown, purplish 

 black on internal area ; an indistinct blackish discal bar, parallel 

 to outer margin ; wing crossed by a clear sharply defined white 

 "^ -shaped character ; fringe white : palpi chalky white, as also the 

 front of the tibia? and tarsi of first pair of legs ; pectus blackish, 

 venter densely clothed with grey hairs, anal tufts whitish. 

 Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



Kantorongondo Mt., Xyika, 5900 feet, April 15th, 1895. 



This is so distinctly marked a species that, if properly described, 

 I could hardly have failed to identify it. 



105. RHOPALOCAMPTA TOUESTAX. 



Papilio forestan, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. cccxci. E, E (1782).

" Great black, white, and orange Skipper " (R. C.}. 



HETEEOCEBA. 



Only thirteen Moths were in the collection, one or two of which 

 had unfortunately been attacked by the larva? of a Micro- 

 Lepidopteron, which were discovered still at work after the 

 specimens had been mounted : all the species nevertheless are 

 sufficiently well-preserved for determination.
