In tbis list tlie new forms are indicated b}' an asterisk ; these 

 I now proceed to describe : — 



PnysoiENUEA PiONB, var. luoida. (Plate XLIII. fig. 1.) 



Differs from typical P. pione, of whicli we have a good series, in 

 the larger white area on the upper surface of the primaries, the 

 black internal streak being abbreviated or e\en sometimes almost 

 obliterated, so that the lobe extending from tlie white area towards 

 inner margin is of at least double the width : on the under surface 

 the black strias are wider a])art, f;ir less luimerous, and the yellow 

 ocelli are paler; the three black linos on outer border are not 

 equidistant as in typical P. pionc, the two inner ones being nearer 

 together. Expanse of wings, d 39 millim., $ 45. 



Two males and one female. 



It is possible that this form may prove e(5nstant to locality : it 

 is ])robably from near Fort Soug\^e, N.W. Nyasa. We have 

 received typical P. ^none only from Zomba and Deep Bay. 



MYr.oTHius yuMi, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 2.) 

 cJ . Above milky white, slightly tinted with primrosc-jellow 

 at the base; apical border, a very slender marginal line, and a 

 dot at extremity of second median branch black ; costal border 

 towards base irrorated with blackish ; secondaries \iitli black 

 marginal dots at extremities of median branches and submedian 

 vein : primaries below golden orange (or cadmium-yellow) to 

 middle of cell ; apical area washed diffusedly with saffron-yellowish; 

 seven marginal black dots, the last, at extremity of first median 

 branch, very small : secondaries creamy buff, yellovi'er at base, the 

 costal areolet cadmium-yellow ; six black marginal spots, the 

 smallest being the fifth from anal angle or that at extremity of 

 radial nervure : body normal. Expanse of wings 51 millim. 



The female, which I formerly supposed to be a pale variety of 

 M. riieppellii, differs chiefly on the upper surface in the pale saffi-on 

 flush at the base of the primaries and the still paler tint at base of 

 secondaries : on the under surface it agrees very nearly with the 



,malo. Expanse of wings 59 millim. 



,' Tlie female example in the Mnseum is from Kilima-njaro. 



PmiissunA NYASAjfA, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 3.) 



An exact copy of Mylothris rueppellii: differing chiefly in its
