divided into two equal parts, the apical half smoky blackish, 
the basal half bright orange-tawny; the blackish inner 
edging, however, is always faintly, and sometimes strongly, 
represented ; the secondaries are quite distinct from those of 
P. alcinoe, the basal spots being small. and more restricted 
upon a reddish-tawny ground; beyond them is a diffused 
band (traversed by the dark veins and internervular streaks), 
its centre golden orange, its extremities whitish ; the external 
area smoky brown, paler internally, sometimes becoming 
almost white as it merges into the central band. The female 
has primaries like those of P. camerunica 9, but the basal 
spots of the secondaries are more restricted and their outer 
limit forms a straighter line than in P. camerunica, whilst 
the brown basal patch on which these spots are usually placed 
is infringed upon by the broader white central belt ; the latter 
is more regular and of more uniform width throughout.

Sierra Leone (B.M. and Salvin & Godman Colls.). 
We had long had a pair of this species in the Museum 
collection as P. aleinoe of Felder; the latter, however, is 
quite distinct, both sexes showing a well-defined and rather 
narrow dusky border to the secondaries. We have a pair from 
Accra. 
Planema indentata, sp. n. 
The male has smoky-brown primaries, similar to other 
species of the P. aleinoe group, but the belt across the wing, 
excepting that it is broader and golden orange, resembles 
that on the primaries of P. elongata g ; the secondaries are 
like those of P. macaria, but much paler, the central area 
being broadly pale yellowish, almost inclining to whity brown, 
of course interrupted by the usual dusky veins and streaks ; 
the female has the primaries marked somewhat as in P. came- 
runica 9, but the broad white band has its inner edge nearly 
straight, two small notches alone indicating the angular ex- 
cavations which characterize this band in P. camerunica: the 
secondaries are quite distinct, pale sandy yellow, the base 
narrowly brown, so that all the outer black spots are thrown 
into strong relief; the external border almost as narrow as in 
P. alcinoe 3, but emitting much more prominent internervular 
blackish streaks to the middle of the wing. Expanse of wings, 
3 78 millim., 9 100 millim. 
One pair, Cameroons (Godman & Salvin Coll.). 
The female was taken by Dr. Preuss at Barombi. 
Quite recently Dr. Karsch has described a female Planema 
from Uganda under the name of P. albicolor, which he says
