bands dull reddish clay-brown ; the last-mentioned baud, however, 

 with its outer two fifths dull chocolate, edged on both sides with 

 black and with no trace of white spots ; the white intermediate 

 bands and the spots beyond the discal band cream-coloured instead 

 of pure white ; marginal border dull ochreous crossed by black 

 veins ; marginal black-edged stripe dull sordid whitish, its inner edge 

 not undulated. Expanse of wings .52 millim. 



One male, taken on the 29th December. — Thrvpp. 



This is probably tlie H. anvatara of Lefebvre (Voj-. Abyss., Zool. 

 vi. p. 3S0), but not of Boisduval. 



A pair of this species, from Aden, has recently been sent to us 

 by Major Yerbury, in which the discal black band on the secondaries 

 is slightly broader than in the Somali male, and the discal band 

 below has its outer half dull chocolate-coloured ; but in every other 

 respect they correspond with it. The species comes nearest to 

 H. cora, Feisth., but is larger, brighter in colouring above, has 

 narrower black bands, and much wider submarginal spots on the 

 secondaries : on the under surface it is more clearly coloured 

 throughout, the external area of primaries is not red-brown, and the 

 bands on the secondaries are decidedly paler, including the marginal 

 stripe, which in II. cora is dull brown ; the central white band is 

 also more angular.

More than eighty miles S. of Berbera. — Thrxtpp. 



One broken example, of the variety with clay-coloured under 

 surface, upon which the white spots are extremely ill-defined. Every 

 intergrade between this, the true S. deedalus, and the H. meleagris 

 of Cramer, exists in Abyssinia, and probably in all localities where 

 the species occurs : any attempt to separate the two extremes, as 

 some Lepidopterists have attempted to do, into two species, will 

 probably be futile.

Acrcea chilo, Godman, P. Z. S. 1880, p. 184, pi. xix. figs. 4, 5. 

 Dura, December 23rd. — Loft-Fhillips. 

 Two male examples were obtained.

Acrcea brasia, Godman, P. Z. S. 1885, p. f)38, n. 4. 



One male, two females. — Lort- Phillips. 



I cannot see sufficient grounds for separating this from the Kilima- 

 njaro species, the only differences being that the outer margins of 

 the wings are a little less arched and the spots beyond the cell of 

 primaries rather less oblique ; characters which would probably prove 

 to be inconstant if one possessed a good series.
