189 DR. A. Gr. BUTLER ON LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS [Mar. 1, 



11. JUNONIA SESAMUS Trim. 



Salisbury, Mashonaland, 5000 feet, 17th March ; Enterprise 

 Camp, Salisbury, 2 1st June, 1895; Karkloof, Natal, 4200 feet, 

 20th February, 1897. 



12. JUNONIA CALESCENS Butl. 



Junonia octavia var. natalensis Staudinger (nee naialica Felder). 

 Gadzima, 4200 feet, Umfuli Eiver, Mashonaland, 2nd, 22nd, and 

 27th December, 1895. 



13. JUNONIA TRIMENI Butl. 



$ . Marudsi Eiver, Mazoe District, Mashonaland, 1st January, 

 1895 ; Gadzima, 4200 feet, Umfuli River, 22nd and 23rd December, 

 1895. 



These were labelled by Mr. Marshall as J. simia Wllgr., a much 

 smaller and differently shaped insect, with very different pattern 

 on the under surface and no rosy-whitish discal streak above. 



A single small example of J. simia was obtained at Gadzima on 

 the 30th December. 



14. JUNONIA AURORINA Butl. 



Karkloof, Natal, 4200 feet, 29th to 31st January, 10th, llth, 

 and 17th February, 1897. 



This is stated by Mr. Marshall to be the wet-season form of 

 J. tugela^ but from his own dates it is certain that both fly 

 together in February ; moreover, judging them by J. artaxia, they 

 both have a dry-season under surface to the wings : I am therefore 

 naturally very sceptical as to the identity of these two allied species. 



15. JUNONIA TUGELA Trim. 



Karkloof, Natal, 4200 feet, May 1896, and 20th February, 1897. 



16. JUNONIA CUAMA Hewits. 



Dry form. Enterprise Camp, near Salisbury, 5000 feet, Mashona- 

 land, 7th July ; Gadziraa, 5th August. 



Wet form. Mazoe District, 4000 feet, 1st November, 1895. 



As I have suspected for some time, the seasonal forms of this 

 species differ very little : that of the wet season has the black 

 markings of the upper surface more pronounced, the costa of 

 primaries rather shorter (giving a squarer character to the wing) 

 than in the dry form, the markings below much better marked and 

 the discal spots more decidedly ocelloid. I am now quite satisfied 

 that J. trimeni has nothing to do with J. cuama or with J. simia. 

 It will be remembered that I have always opposed the amalga- 

 mation of these three very dissimilar species on the ground that 

 they are undoubtedly 011 the wing simultaneously at all seasons. 



17. JUNONIA ELGIYA Hewits. 



Malvern, Natal, 800 feet, 22nd and 30th March, 1897.
