1910.] FROM NORTHERN RHODESIA. 27 



ACR.EA CABIRA APECIDA. 



Acrcea apecida Oberth. Et. d'Ent. xvii. p. 24, pi. ii. fig. 15. 



Not rare in the Luangwa valley during the rainy season but 

 not taken elsewhere except near Kambove, Katanga, ii. & iii., 

 where it was scarce. A forest species. 



AcR^EA PHARSALUS Ward. 



Not uncommon throughout Katanga from November to April. 

 Not taken in Northern Rhodesia. 



ACR^A ENCEDON L. 



I took this everywher-e. The type form is perhaps the 

 commonest, though not much more so than daira Godm. &, 

 Salv. The lycia Fabr. form occurs rarely in Katanga and more 

 commonly in the valleys of the Kalungwisi and Lofu rivers in 

 N.E. Rhodesia. Some very large brilliantly coloured specimens of 

 the type form were taken on the Lualaba. On the islands on Lake 

 Bangweolo all the specimens taken, both of the type form and of 

 daira, are large, brightly coloured and heavily marked, the spots 

 in a^reas 1 b and 2 of primary being much '' run " and enlarged. 



Acrcea sp. near peneleos Ward. 



A single specimen of the species which has been recorded from 

 several parts of Central Africa under this name, but is probably 

 not identical with that species. This specimen, a male, was 

 captured on the Lubudi river, West Lualaba district, 19.x. 07. 



ACR^A ESEBRIA Hew. 



Represented by a single male, captured in dense forest, 23.X.07, 

 between the Luf upa and Lubudi rivers. 



Planema poggei Dewitz. 



I took several specimens of this handsome Planema, ix. 1908, 

 in some dense forest on the Kalungwisi river, N.E. Rhodesia. 



Planema Montana Butler, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 91. 



P. aganice var. montana Auriv. Rhop. ^Eth. p. 121. 



I took a single pair of this species in a patch of dense forest, a 

 little north of the Lofu river on the Tanganyika plateau, viii. 

 1908. It has a sluggish floating flight. 



Planema macrosticha. 



Planema macrosticha Beth. -Baker, Ann. N. H (8) ii. p. 472 

 (1908). 



I have a single female Planema in the collection which I 

 attribute, with some doubt, to this species. There is a general 

 resemblance in the distribution of markings to those of the male 

 type, the bands across both wings being however whitish. It was 

 captured on the Lualaba river, v.
