10 MR. S. A. NEAVE OX BUTTERFLIES [Jail. 18, 



Mycalesis axynana vic aria Thurau. 



Mycalesis vicaria Thurau, Berl. Ent. Zeit. xlviii. 1903, p. 118. 

 Not uncommon in the Luangwa, Chambezi, and Lofu valleys 

 at all seasons. 



? Mycalesis vulgaris Butler. 



Occurs sparingly but in a good many localities west of the 

 Mchinga escarpment. 



Mycalesis nebulosa Feld. 



Two specimens only, both from the valley of the Lualaba 

 river, one v., the other x. It frequents dense forest. 



Mycalesis saussurei Dewitz. 



I captured seven individuals of this species on the Lufupa 

 river, x. They all differ somewhat from specimens from further 

 north. The white band across both wings on the underside is 

 broader and more distinct, but in spite of this is barely visible on 

 the upper surface. A forest species. 



Mycalesis cooksoni Druce. 



Mycalesis cooksoni Druce, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1905, p. 251, pi. xiii. 

 fig. 1. 



I took a few individuals, which I attribute to this species, in 

 patches of forest on the Lofu and Kalungwisi rivers. 



Mycalesis spp. ? 



There are also two other species from several localities allied 

 to the foregoing and to clanckelmanni Rogenh.* They appear to 

 be new, but it seems to me inadvisable to describe them in the 

 present confused state of the whole genus. 



Mycalesis haroldi. 



Mycalesis haroldi Druce, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1905, p. 252, pi. xii. 

 fig. 2. 



I captured two males and one female of this striking species on 

 the Lufupa river, x. and xi. 



Henotesia pekspicua Trim. 



This species is common everywhere. As Marshall f has already 

 pointed out, H. simonsi Butler is probably the dry-season form of 

 this species. I found typical simonsi only in the very hot and 

 dry river-valleys of the Luangwa and the lower Lofu near Lake 

 Tanganyika. On the high plateau generally of N.E. Rhodesia 

 and throughout Katanga the extreme dry-season specimens are 

 somewhat intermediate between perspicua and simonsi.
