brown ; the discoidal cell and a streak beyond it as well as the 

 internal area mottled with cream-whitish, and the whole surface 

 irrorated with blackish dots ; a dusky almost falciform postmedian 

 stripe ; external angle mottled along inner margin with ferruginous ; 

 fringe white, varied with greyish brown at base : secondaries with 

 deeply but widely inarched costa ; outer margin produced into an 

 acute point at extremity of first subcostal branch and very slightly 

 sinuated between the apex and this point ; remainder of outer 

 margin slightly inarched, and very slightly sinuated to the so-called 

 ' third median branch/ otherwise very regular ; costal half coloured 

 like the primaries, internal halt' almost to submedian vein suffused 

 with coffee-brown, ferruginous at anal angle ; a triangular yellow 

 patch edged and intersected by ferruginous lines at base of median 

 veins, and a short tapering white bar (in continuation of the 

 yellow patch) across the end of the cell ; abdominal area creamy 

 white varying to silvery white ; fringe white ; the surface of the 

 wing irrorated with blackish dots like that of the primaries. Head 

 and palpi orange ; antennas cream-white ; remainder of body 

 above coloured like the primaries. Under surface of wings paler 

 than above, mottled with deeper grey and speckled with black ; 

 the primaries with a longitudinal streak beyond the cell, a spot at 

 base of median interspace and the inter no-basal three-fifths creamy 

 white grey -mottled ; a subapical diffused patch, a patch below the 

 centre of the disc, a very irregular patch at external angle, and a 

 portion of the veins from the median backwards orange-tawny : 

 secondaries with the abdominal half white, the costal half blotched 

 and veined with orange-tawny ; a white bar beyond the discoidal 

 cell as above ; outer margin grey varied with orange-tawny ; fringe 

 white : body below pale greyish brown, almost white on venter ; 

 legs varied with ferruginous. Expanse of wings 34 to 37 millim. 



Samburu, 3rd November, 1896 ; Mbuyuni, 29th May, 1897. 



We have males in the Museum from Ambriz and Accra ; they 

 show a tawny or brown-edged spot at the base of the median 

 branches of the primaries above, more distinctly than in the 

 female (where it only appears like an excrescence of the discoidal 

 streak) ; the median vein and base of the submedian vein in the 

 example from Ambriz are also yellowish (which doubtless 

 suggested "Warren's unsatisfactory name for the species). The 

 darker portion of the secondaries in specimens from Accra is also 

 darker in both sexes than in the male from Angola, but this is 

 doubtless a variable character ; the pectinations of the antennae in 

 male examples are pale orange. 



The veins on the under surface of the primaries being partly 

 orange-tawny, I have modified the manuscript name proposed by 

 "Warren. 



200. A Boarmian form too much injured for identification, 

 being not only faded and broken but a female. 

 Voi, 16th April, 1897.
