118. Abantis venosa. Trim. (Plate IX. fig. 24, c? .) 



c?. Abantis venosa. Trim. S.-Afr. Butt. iii. p. 339. n. 361 

 (1889). 



Leucochitonea umvulensis, E. M. Sharpe, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 6th ser. vol. \i. p. 348 (Oct. 1890). 



Omrora (August) and Ehanda (August-September). Three 

 male examples. 



These specimens have already been described, as " variety A " of 

 the species, in my work above quoted, one of the two Ehanda ex- 

 amples being further noted (p. 340, footnote) as wanting the vitreous 

 spots of the fore wings and having the white and black on the 

 underside of the hind wings obsolescent. 



119. Abantis paradisea (Butl.). 



6 . Leucochitonea paradisea, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1870, 

 p. 499 ; and Lep. E.\ot. p. 167, pi. lix. f. 8 (1874). 



Ehanda (September). One male e.xample. 



The white markings in this specimen have a decided yellowish 

 tinge, giving it some resemblance to the female. 



120. Abantis zambesina, Westw. 



<?. Hesperia {Oxynetra) zambesina, Westw. Thes. Ent. Oxon. 

 p. 183, pi. xxxiv. f. 9 (1874). 



Omrora (August) and Ehanda (August-September). Seventeen 

 male examples. 



I noted these specimens of this extremely beautiful Hesperid 

 last year in vol. iii. of my work above cited (p! 344). In a footnote 

 I called attention to the circumstance that the sides of the abdomen 

 are pure white, and suggested that their being dull yellowish in the 

 type-specimen figured by Westwood was due to discoloration. 

 Since then one of Mr. Eriksson's examples has changed from white 

 to ochreous-yellow in the part mentioned. 



121. Abantis levubu (Wallengr.). 



{J. Leucochitonea levubu, Wallengr. op. cit. p. 52 (1857).

Omrora (November), Otiembora (November-December), and 

 Omaramba-Oamatako (January). Eight male examples.

 developed than in specimens received from more southern tracts.

122. Pterygospidea motozi, Wallengr. 

 Pterygospidea motozi, Wallengr. op. cit. p. 53 (1857).

One of the specimens is of a greyer tint than usual, especially on
