13. COLIAS EDUSA, Var. ELECTEA. 



Papilio clectm, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 764 (1767). 



6 6 and $ (C. Jielice type), Kasungu Mountain, Nyika, west 

 of Lake Xyasa, Sept. 2nd, 1893. 



2 2 (both forms), Kantorongondo Mountain, Nyika, Sept. 18th, 

 1893. ^' Clouded Yellow and Pale Clouded Yellow " (li. C). 



Mr. Crav\ shay remarks : — " The Clouded Yellows do not differ 

 in their habits from those I have taken in Great Britain. I got 

 them all, with the exception of one, on the top of Kasungu. 

 They are the first Clouded Yellows I have come across in B. C. 

 Africa. 



" The Pale Clouded Yellow, or whatever it is, may prove some- 

 thing good. The Dark Clouded Yellows, as far as I can judge, are 

 merely small editions of the British C'olias edusa. 



" Of the Pale Clouded Tellows, I took two specimens (one I 

 have). I took four specimens of the Dark Clouded Yellow, and 

 could have taken more." 



The " Pale Clouded Yellow '' is only the usual albino form of 

 the female ; Mr. Crawshay sent us tiro specimens. One of the 

 males does not differ in any respect from tj'pical 0. edusa ; the 

 other and the ordinary female are somewhat more yellow in tint, 

 especially on the posterior wings, those of the female showing 

 scarcely a trace of the usual orange suffusion. 



14. Teeias punctixotata, sp. n. (Plate XXXV. figs. 8, 9.) 



2 • E\'idently a representative or geographical race of T. 

 desjardinsii, from the female of which it differs in the total absence 

 of the dark brown border of the primaries — all the ^^•ings above 

 being uniformly primrose-yellow, paler towards the outer margins, 

 and with brown-stained black dots at the extremities of the veins ; 

 on the under surface the reddish border and apical oblique streak 

 of the primaries are wanting, and the subapical bilunate marking 

 is dark ferruginous brown ; the ground-colour is also paler. 

 Expanse of wings 41-45 millim.

 2nd, and Kantorongondo Mountain, Sept. 5th, 1893. " Brimstone 

 (small)" (i?. C). 



Speaking of the reduction in the width of the border in females 

 of T. desjardinsii, Mr. Trimen says : — " Here the extreme of 

 reduction breaks up the hind-marginal portion of the border into 

 very nearly separated spots." Between this extreme and 2\ jnmc- 

 tinotata there is a very considerable gap, but it may eventually be 

 bridged over when the fauna of Africa is thoroughly known.

Above this example is black, with all the markings of a satiny

 the upper surface the central band is evidently wider than in
