82 ON BUTTERFLIES PROM MANICA, SOCTTH-EAST AFRICA. [Jan. 16, 



February agree very well with Karsch's description of the male 

 from Bismarckburg, Togoland, in Northern West-Tropical Africa, 

 but have the angulation in question less pronounced (in one 

 example very much less pronou.nced in the fore wing than is 

 shown in the figure quoted), and also present a considerable acute 

 dentation throughout, in both fore and hind ^\^ngs, of the inner 

 submarginal dark line. In these characters the Manica examples 

 are nearer to M. sccfitza, but differ more than the figure of M. 

 campa does from the same species in having the 4th ocellus of the 

 series in the hind wings very much smaller than (instead of nearly 

 as large as) the fifth \

A single male from Christmas Pass, captured on 20th February, 

 appears to me to agree with Hewitson's description of this Lake 

 Nyassa species, the postmedian common transverse streak having 

 the "undulated" form specified as far as the hind wings are 

 concerned ; but the brief diagnosis is too vague and of too genei'al 

 an application to enable any satisfactory identification to be 

 arrived at.
