628 DE. A. G. BXTTLEE, ON BTTTTERFLIES FEOM [June 18, 



two days west from here (Deep Bay, Lake Nyasa), Some few of the 

 specimens I send should prove new on account of the high altitude 

 from which they come. Several are from an altitude of 7000 feet or 

 so, the highest plateau-land (Mlauji Mountain excepted) anywhere 

 in B. C. Africa, I fancy. I have numbered each species in its 

 paper, and have given as well (in brackets) the number of the 

 individual specimens of each, locality, date of capture, and some 

 rough distinguishing name for my own guidance. A few notes 

 on what seem to me the most interesting insects may be of use." 



These notes I propose to quote under the species to which 

 they refer, as thereby no confusion can by any possibility arise. 



The Banahue and Satyrina are unrepresented in the present 

 little series.

 « TortoisesheU " \B. C). 



When describing the allied J. auronna, I compared it with 

 /. sinuata ; it is, however, more nearly related to J. koivari from the 

 Cameroons, differing in the narrower truncated (not falcated) apex 

 of the primaries, and longer, more tapering secondaries, in the 

 tawny markings in the cell of primaries, the much narrower discal 

 belt, which is distinctly paler, much less red, and less suffused mth 

 pink, also in the deep incision in this band formed by the strong 

 and prominent angulation of the brown basal area of the anterior 

 wings. Comparing our four examples with the four specimens of 

 J. hoiuari in the Hewitson collection, I find all these characters 

 absolutely constant.

3. EupHjIidea ceawshayi, sp. n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 3.) 



(f . Allied to E. zaddachii and E. elepliantina, but differing 

 from both in the broader and more regular ochreous bands on the 

 primaries, with other characters to be described : primaries 

 greenish black, glossed \\ith bright green at base ; an oblique 

 broad ochreous trifid band just before the middle, from subcostal 

 vein to middle of interno-median areole, a second oblique quadrifid 

 band (pale pinky ochreous or flesh-coloured) limiting the apical 

 area, and of nearly uniform width throughout ; fringe flecked and 

 tipped with white : secondaries greenish black at base, costal 

 border purpHsh slate-colour ; subcostal area ochraceous ; discoidal 

 ceU, almost to extremity, veins, and basal half of interno-median 

 area bright golden ochreous ; abdominal border pale ochreous 

 brownish or testaceous, shading into smoky brown at anal angle ;
