122 On a new Butterfly of the Genus Amauris. 
Cleridx, new Synonymy. 
Cladiscus obeliscus, Lew. 1892. 
Cymatoderma strangulata, Kies. 1879, nec Cladiscus strangulatus, 
Chevr. 18438, 
Opilo carinatus, Lew. 1892. 
Opilo niponicus, Lew., var. 
O. mollis, L., Gorh. 1877. 
Sisynophorus bicolor, Lew., 1891, I consider now belongs to the Cleridz, 
not the Telephoride, but it is very difficult to assign any certain place for 
it in the Cleridz at present.

XV.— Description of a new Species of Butterfly of the Genus 
Amauris obtained by Mr. Scott Elliot in East Central 
Africa. By Artaur G. Butier, Ph.D., F.L.S., &e. 
Two examples of a very distinct species of the A. echeria 
group were obtained, both males—one taken at Ruwenzori, 
5000-6000 feet alt., the other on the way from Salt Lake to 
Wawamba Co. 
Amauris Elliott, sp. n. 
d. Form of A. echeria, larger: primaries black, slightly 
brownish towards the base ; all the markings deep ochreous, 
as follows :—a broad oblique spot across the middle of the 
discoidal cell and a second (slightly larger) before the middle 
of the first, or lower, median interspace, a small elongated 
spot above the upper extremity of the discoidal cell, a quad- 
rifid spot beyond the cell, its two upper divisions smallest, 
the third division largest, a bifid subcostal spot towards apex 
and two small spots (the upper one larger than the under) 
obliquely below it; three conspicuous nearly equidistant oval 
spots, one below each median branch towards outer margin 
and three nearly marginal points towards the middle of the
