31. Planema monfana, Butler. 



One female was captured in February. 



In his useful work on African Rhopalocera Prof. Auri- 

 villius regards P, montana as a variety of P. aganice; but 

 he separates P. ineruava, and figures the female, as a distinct 

 species. As a matter of fact, P. meruana is simply an abso- 

 lute synonym of P. montana, of which P. bertha 01 Vuillot is 

 the male. As to its being a variety of P. aganice, it might 

 just as well be regarded as a variety of P. gea or almost any 

 uther Planema. On the face of it, the fact that an Englishman, 

 German, and Frenchman all decided independently that it 

 was perfectly distinct is a strong argument for its specific 

 value.
