562 On Bulterjlies from the Uganda Protectorate. 



LXXIII. — On a Collection of Dutlerjlies from the Uganda 

 Protectorate, forwarded bij C. Steuart Jhtton, Esq., in 1900. 

 By A. G. Butler, Ph.D. 



About the end of last year two tins of Lepicloptera reached 

 us fiom Mr. Betton. All the butterflies were collected at 

 Eb Urru in April and May. 



It is interesting to note that the whole of the variation of 

 Limnas chrysippus is represented in the present series (the 

 forms L. chrysippus, alcippoides, alcippus, dorippus, and 

 Klugii being all present). Among rare species are both sexes 

 of Chrysophanus Ahbotii, the male of the southern Urano- 

 thauma nubifer, specimens of Catochrysops negus (which was 

 new to the Museum collection), Mylothris rubricosta, Phris- 

 sura phoebe, the Arabian Synchloe glauconome, and a fine 

 example of Papilio nobilis. A very remarkable Spindasia, 

 quite new to me, was secured, but unhappily it is too much 

 worn to enable me to describe it with any certainty.
