tative of A. acrita, from which it only differs in the absence of the 

 broad apical black patch on the primaries ; in well-marked 

 examples all the spots (on the absence of which Dr. Staudinger 

 relies) are well defined ; one specimen even shows an additional 

 spot on the subcostal area, nearer to apex. 



48. AOB.EA ITATAilCA. 



Acrcea natalica, Boisduval, Voy. de Deleg. p. 590. n. 57 (1847). 

 Ngatana, December and January. 



49. ACRiEA MENXPPE. 



Fapilio menippe, Drury, 111. Bxot. Ent. iii. pi. 13. figs. 3, 4 

 (1782). 



One worn female from Ngatana. 



50. AXSKJElK AITEMOSA. 



Acrcea anemosa, Hewitson, Exot. Butt, iii., Acr, pi. 3. figs. 14, 15 

 (1865). 



Two good specimens without labels of locality, but probably 

 from the Sabaki Valley. 



51. AcB^A nfsiGifis. 



Acrcea insignis, Distant, P. Z. S. 1880, p. 184, pi. ix. fig. 4. 

 No exact locality ; probably Sabaki Valley. 



52. PlASTEIIA MONTA:!fA. 



S . Planema montana, Butler, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 91. 



2 . Pattern of male, decidedly larger, the primaries to outer 

 border of secondaries fuliginous ; the band of primaries and central 

 area of secondaries white, interrupted by blaclvish veins ; base of 

 secondaries suffused with dull tawny buff, the black spots of the 

 under surface showing through. Expanse of wings 82 millim. 



2 , Kibwezi. 



We have received both sexes of this species from Kilimanjaro. 



53. Hyeetjs ^qtjatobialis. 



Lyccena cequatorialis, E. M. Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1891, p. 637, 

 pi. xlviii. fig. 5. 



c? $ , Summit of Mount Hohuel, 16,000 feet ; Kenya and camp 

 below the old ice-fall, 10,500 feet. 



Strictly speaking this species and H. luebbianus hardly belong 

 to Hyreus, as their hind wings are not tailed. 



The figure is taken from a somewhat abnormal specimen ; most 

 examples have the dark discal band toothed in the centre, the 

 prominence emitted from the centre of the band and sometimes 

 entirely dividing the white submarginal baud ; this is the case 

 with Dr. Gregory's pair of the species, and with several unset 

 specimens shown to me by Miss Sharpe.
