1888.] ON NEW LKPIDOPTERA FROM KILIMA-NJARO. 91 



2. Descriptions of some new Lepidoptera from Kilima-njaro. 

 By Akthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S, &c. 



[EeceiTed December 14, 1887.] 



Examples of some of the species here described were collected by 

 the late Bishop Hannington and of others by Mr. F. J. Jackson ; 

 in not a few cases specimens of the same species were obtained by 

 both gentlemen. 



RHOPALOCERA. 



Nymphalid^. 



euplocin^. 



1. Amauris hanningtoni, sp. n. 



Primaries black, with pure white markings as in A. egialea, 

 excepting that all the larger spots are reduced one third in size ; 

 secondaries dark brown, with a sharply defined oblong belt united 

 by a short band to costa, from the abdominal margin to a little 

 above the cell, sordid white ; seven submarginal white spots, the 

 relative sizes of which, reckoning from costa, are 4, 6, 5, I, 2, 7, 3 ; 

 two or three white dots nearer to the margin ; under surface only 

 differing from the upper surface as in the allied A. egialea and 

 A. hyalites. Expanse of wings 81 millim. 



Two males ; Hills of Terta in April (^Hannington). 



ACR.«TNiE. 



The female of Acraa (Planema) johnstoni of Grodman was in 

 the same collection and is evidently modified in imitation of the 

 foregoing Amauris ; it is black, with four white spots arranged 

 obhquely in pairs and a dull white or yellowish belt across the 

 secondaries as in the male ; the receipt of this female is most inter- 

 esting, as it is a clue to the position of the species, which is clearly 

 seen to be allied to A. (P.) lycoa from the west coast ; one example 

 was received from the Hills of Terta, another between 3000-8000 

 feet on the slopes of Kilima-njaro in March. 



2. Planema Montana, sp. n. 



cJ . Allied to P. aganice, but differing in the bright orange-fulvous 

 coluur of the bauds and in the greater width of the angulated baud 

 of primaries. Expanse of wings 68 millim. 



Slopes of Kilima-njaro, 3000-6000 feet, in March (^Hannington). 



NyMPHALINjE. 



3. Euryphene violacea, sp. n. 



(S § . Allied to E. neophron of Hopffer (a common Zanzibar 

 species), but differing iu the purple instead of greenish-blue colora- 

 tion of the upper surface, the narrower and duller orange-ocineous 

 belt across the black apical half of primaries, and the more prominent
