1895.] FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 727 



some examples of that species ; the form of the wings is very 

 different, the sinus of the outer margin being longer and more 

 shallow ; the small sinuations between the nervures are almost 

 wholly absent, in both primaries and secondaries, and the latter 

 wings are angulated, but not caudate, at extremity of radial vein ; 

 whilst the anal lobe is elongated. Expanse of wings 51 millim.

As my short comparative description was based upon two 

 examples from Natal (there being no specimens from Madagascar 

 in our collection), the name H. commixta will fall to H. schceneia, 

 not to H. borbonica, as Mr. Trimen judged — unless the species 

 of Madagascar should prove (as I supposed) to be identical with 

 that of South Africa ; in which case, of course, it would take pre- 

 cedence of Mr. Trimen's name. It is even not impossible that 

 H. schceneia may prove to be a seasonal form of H. hippomene ; the 

 range of the two is probably identical.

We have this species from Madagascar ; it differs somewhat from 

 our other examples, the tawny band being slightly notched along 

 its outer edge (as in Boisduval's figure of the long-tailed form, to 

 which the name of H. borbonica has been given) ; on the underside 

 also the angular postmedian band of the secondaries is more sharply 

 edged and veined with pale yellow ; such modifications may indi- 

 cate a slight local influence, and, supposing H. schceneia to be a 

 mere seasonal form of H. Mppomene, would represent just such 

 characters as one would expect to find in the corresponding seasonal 

 form from Madagascar.

The examples obtained by Mr. Scott Elliot differ from that 

 taken by Dr. Gregory in the much greater width of the tawny 

 band across the primaries, which gives them a remarkable resem- 

 blance to Hypanartia Mppomene ; the tawny subapical costal patch, 

 reddish cupreous basal suffusion, and absence of tail to the second- 

 aries, however, at once distinguish them.
