This is one of the most singularly coloured species of the group. 

 I have a good series of specimens from Gaboon and Cameroons, 

 which agree very well with specimens received from Mr. Trimen, 

 who obtained them from Mr. E. 0. Selous, who took them in 

 Manica. The type of Hesperia mjasso'. Hew., I think is a female. 

 It is larger and paler on the underside than any specimens I have 

 seen from other localities. I cannot, however, bring myself to 

 believe that it is anything more than a variety of B. netopha. It 

 is worthy of note that there is much variation in the ground-colour 

 of the underside of the wings in this species. No two specimens 

 in a series of ten or twelve are exactly of the same shade, and the 

 ground-colour runs from a pale yellowish ochraceous lo a pale 

 reddish brown, tinged with pink. The three small subapical spots 

 which appear in a majority of specimens are wanting in others. 

 They are variable.
