On Butterflies obtained chiefly at Munisu. 197 
XXV.—An Account of a Collection of Butterflies obtained by 
Lord Delamere, chiefly at Munisu, near Mount Kenya. By 
ARTHUR G. Butuer, Ph.D. &c. 
MUNISU appears to be situated at an altitude of 4150 feet, 
and most of Lord Delamere’s captures were obtained in that 
locality ; but a few of the species were obtained in Hast 
Central Africa, on the Athi River. 
The collection consists of seventy-nine species, none new 
to science, but three new to the Museum series, viz. Jfono- 
trichtis hentia, Belenois margaritacea, and Pinacopterya rubro- 
basalis, The following species of special interest were also 
secured :—Precis guruana, P. Gregorit, Planema montana, 
Acrea uvui, Uranothauma nubifer, Mylothris rubricosta, 
Tertas hapale in both sexes, Synchloe distorta, Papilio echeri- 
vides, Pyrgus machacosa, and Cyclopides quadrisiqnata, 
Nymphalide. 
1. Amauris albimaculata, Butler. 
A singularly deep-coloured male, the band on the second- 
aries being of a dark testaceous rather than clear ochreous 
tint, as in A. Ansorget. 
2. Tirumala Petiverana, Doubl. 
February 1900. 
3. Limnas chrysippus, var. Klugit, Butler. 
4, Monotrichtis safitza, Wewits. 
Four males and one female of the wet phase and a male of 
the dry phase. 
5. Monotrichtis kenia, Rogenh. 
A male of this species, which is new to the collection, was 
obtained in February 1900; it is evidently the Hastern 
representative of J. auricruda, from which it differs in its 
darker colour, superior size, and the white instead of buffish 
subapical belt on the primaries. 
6. Neocenyra Gregori, Butler. 
February 1900.
