present supposed, though our large series shows a considerable 

 range of variation already, but I have not the least doubt that the 

 examples labelled in the present collection " Teracolus pallene " are 

 ordinary T. omphale.

Labelled as " wet " and " intermediate " ; there is, however, a 

 considerably wetter phase of the species. I should therefore 

 consider both specimens as intermediate.

Mr. Marshall labels this S. motozioides, but the latter is much 

 nearer to S. motozi. If these nearly related insects were arranged 

 in natural sequence they would stand thus : S.pertusa, S. synestal- 

 menus, S. motozi^ S. motozioides, S. eliminata. I am quite prepared 

 to hear that they are only forms of one species, but the chances 

 are that S. motozioides and S. eliminata will hold their own and 

 that S. pertusa and synestalmenus will prove to be slight variations 

 of the dry form of S. motozi ; the latter seems to be a wet form in 

 Nyasaland,

Mr. Marshall sends this as a new species ; but it only differs 



from typical K. macomo in the absence of some of the black spots 



on the under surface of the secondaries : such differences are 



hardly likely to have a specific value, but it would be interesting
