102. Xanthospilopterxx HTPERcoMPOiDES,sp.n. (Plate XLIII. 

 fig. 5.) 



Primaries above bronze-greenish black, with ochreous markings 

 arranged somewhat as in X. fatima, but the lower spot of the two 

 crossing the centre of the M'ing much smaller; the subapical band 

 also quite different in form, narrow towards the costa and elongated 

 below into a sort of cuneiform (foot-shaped) patch, the point of 

 which rests on the outer margin : secondaries deep orange in the 

 type (probably rosy crimson when fresh), with broad apical patch, 

 but rather narrow marginal continuation to anal angle : body 

 black ; head, collar, and pterygodes spotted with pale ochreous ; 

 metathorax clothed at the sides with ochreous hairs ; an ochreous 

 anal tuft. Basal area of primaries below ochreous, with two large 

 black spots placed obliquely before the middle ; apical half black, 

 with creamy brimstone-coloured markings as above, but broader, 

 the subapical band greatly resembling the lower half of a human 

 leg ; secondaries nearly as above : body below black spotted with 

 white. Expanse of wings 63 millim,

 Euwenzori, 7000-8000 feet. 



106. Callarctia ellioti, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 6.) 



Allied to C. geometrica from Abyssinia ; but the longitudinal band 

 of the primaries running obliquely from the costa, emitting two 

 parallel bands from the back, one to base, the other to inner 

 margin, the direction of the band at end of cell reversed, the band 

 itself thickened and abbreviated ; the two remaining bands forming 

 a simple cross and not continued below the longitudinal band: 

 secondaries rose-coloured ; the submarginal spots forming a series 

 of three patches, with a wide interval opposite the end of the cell : 

 the abdomen rosy, with dorsal and lateral series of blackish spots. 

 Expanse of wings 46 millim.
