1891.] FROM SOUTH-WESTERN AFRICA. 103 



All these have the underside yellow-ochreous, without any ferru- 

 ginous tinge, belonging to the variation P. ranoha, Westw. ' In one 

 of the two Okavango specimens the small black spots of the under- 

 side are wanting, but in the other, though smaller than usual, they 

 are distinct. 



112. Pamphila obumbrata, n. sp. (Plate IX. fig. 23, ^ .) 



Closely allied to P. hnttentota (Latr.). 



Exp. al.{S) 1 in. 1 1 lin. ; ( $ ) 1 in. I lin. 



c? . Pale dull greyish brown ; inferior half of hind wing and basal 

 halt of fore wing suffused with greenish ochreous-vellow ; on lower 

 (fiscal area of fore wing, between 2nd median nervule and submedian 

 nervure, a very large, rounded, highly glossy, fuscous-grey sexual 

 badge, /armed of small densely packed tilted scales. Underside. — 

 Very dull pale yellowish grey. Fore wing : two exceedingly faint 

 paler discal spots between 1st and 3rd median nervules (near their 

 origin). Hind wing : a discal series of very faint elongate confluent 

 spots, from costa to submedian nervure, sharply angulated on 2nd 

 subcostal nervule. 



$ . Without any yellow suffusion. Fore wing -. five small 

 yellowisli spots in discal series, viz. : two minute ones together close 

 to costa, and three obliquely placed between 3rd median nervule and 

 submedian nervure. Hind wing : a faint trace of a macular yellowish- 

 white streak in upper |)artof disk. Undeuside. — Slightly yellower 

 than in male, the hind-wing markings less indistinct. Fore wing : 

 besides the five discal spots of upperside, there is a trace of two 

 additional minute spots, beyond the rest, between 1st radial and 3rd 

 median nervules. 



Besides the extraordinary sexual badge, a more pointed apex 

 characterizes the fore wing in the male, and the hind wing is more 

 prominently lobate at the anal angle than in P. hottentota. The 

 female example is much worn, but appears to be singularly close 

 to the typical female P. hottentota, except in the failure of yellow 

 on both surfaces. 



Ehanda (August-September). Two examples ; a male and a 

 female. 



113. Pamphila occulta, n. sp. 



Allied to P. hottentota (Latr.) and P. lugens, Hopff. 



Exp. a/. ( cJ) I in. 1^-3 lin. ; ( $ ) 1 in. 3 hn. 



cJ . Dull brown. Fore wing : a fuscous-brown cloud from base 

 to beyond middle of costa, covering discoidal cell ottd extending down- 

 ward to submedian nervure about middle ; commencement of a discal 

 macular series very faintly indicated by a costal transverse row of 

 three minute pale spots, in the customary position beyond extremity 

 of discoidal cell. Underside. — Very much pal er ; hind wing and 

 costal and apical area of fore icing rather sparsely sprinkled with 

 hoary scales. Fore luing : usual discal series of seven small whitish 

 spots tolerably distinct. Rind wing : an elbowed discal series of
