Mylothris swaynei, sp, n. 



S . Intermediate in character between M. trimenia and M. nar- 

 cissus : primaries above milk-white ; the costal border blackish, 

 widening gradually into an apical patch which curves round to 

 join the first of three trigonal marginal spots between veins 4 and 

 5 ; internal border also blackish to external angle : secondaries 

 bright lemon-yellow ; seven small marginal black spots, the first 

 of which (at eiid of costal vein) is the largest and elongated : body 

 normal. Primaries below white, costal border sprinkled with grey 

 scales ; base of cell slightly washed with lemon-yellow ; apical 

 border lemon-yellow ; a marginal series of seven black dots : 

 secondaries as above : body normal, the pectus clothed with 

 greenish-white hair, becoming somewhat fulvous at the side of the 

 eyes. Expanse of wings 55 millim. 



Hab. Harar Highlands. 



The following specimens in the collection are worthy of 

 mention : — 



The example of Charaxes brutus is not only interesting on 

 account of the narrowness of the white band across the primaries, 

 but also because of the prominence of the grey lunulated sub- 

 marginal line of the secondaries. 



Acrwa antinorii, of which two rather damaged specimens were 

 obtained, was previously known to me only by the illustration 

 (Annali del Museo Civico di Genova, xv. tav. i. fig. 3). 



The male of Mylothris yulei more nearly approaches the typical 

 female than the male which I described ; but there is not 

 sufficient evidence to warrant their separation at present. 



The example of Colias marnoana is larger than those which we 

 pi'eviously possessed and tends to link it to C. sareptensis. 



The two males of Pajpilio erinus are actually more or less inter- 

 mediate between the var. psetidonireus and Papilio bromius ; it 

 therefore seems probable that P. erinus and P. bromius will 

 eventually have to be united, in spite of the considerable differences 

 which exist on both surfaces between the extreme forms. 



A pair, unfortunately much shattered, of P. antinorii was 

 obtained.
