Hypolimnas deludens. 



Male. — Upperside. Resembles H. deceptor, Trimen, from 

 Delagoa Bay and Mombasa, but differs from it in having on 

 the upperside of both wings a row of seven spots inside the 

 partly obsolete submai'ginal row of spots of deceptor. In this 

 row, on the anterior wings, the first and seventh are the 

 largest ; on the posterior wings they are all nearly the same 

 size. 



Underside. On both wings the submarginal rows of spots 

 are very distinct. On the posterior wings the shoulder is 

 entirely white, and the band below it is much darker, broader, 

 and above the subcostal nervure uninterrupted, deceptor 

 having above that nervure a subovate whitish-brown space. 

 The outer marginal band of deludens is also much wider and 

 darker, except near the apex and on either side of the upper 

 median nervule, where there are paler spaces. 



Female resembles //. deceptor ? , but the anterior wings are 

 shorter; on the upperside of both wings the additional row of 

 spots is very distinct, and on the posterior wings the large 

 central white space does not extend towards the costal mar- 

 gin, above the first subcostal nervule. 



Expanse of wings, <J 2|, ? 3 inches. 



Thaleropis kilusa. 



Male. — Upperside. Anterior wings dark brown, with the 

 base, a spot near the end of the cell, an oblique spot beyond 

 the cell, another smaller below it and nearer the margin 

 between the upper and middle median nervules, and a trans- 

 verse space extending over the disk from the middle median 

 nervule to the inner margin about its middle, interrupted in 

 the middle below the cell, light brown. Posterior wings 

 elongate to the anal angle, which is acuminate, light brown, 

 with a broad dark brown band on the costal margin extend- 

 ing nearly to the apex, paler in the middle on the margin ; 

 the apex, costal nervure, and subcostal nervules tipped with 

 dark brown, and a submarginal row of five dark brown lines 

 (the two uppermost macular) between the veins from the 

 discoidal nervule to near the anal angle. 



Underside. Anterior wings black at the base, gradually be- 

 coming paler to the outer margin, where they are pinkish brown; 

 the spots as above, but paler, the spots beyond the cell being 

 pinkish brown, and the light brown discal space being more 

 restricted below the cell ; an indistinct submarginal row of 

 dark spots following the outer margin. Posterior wings
