the moths, of which the two commonest species were africana 

 and perdix. This was doubtless due to the fact that I reached 

 the range of the Euphcedra on the high plateau only at the 

 beginning of the dry season. While the E-uphcedra, like many 

 of its genus, survives the dry season as an imago, the moths, 

 so far as my experience goes, are strictly confined to the rains. 



This Euphcedra is an extremely wary species with a power- 

 ful flight and by no means easy to capture. Butler's species 

 craioshayi appears to represent the eastern race of zaddachi 

 Dewitz, but the differences are very slight. 



Euphcedra medon L. 



Not rare in the Lualaba district of Katanga and in the valley 

 of the Kalungwisi in N.E. Rhodesia. Like many other species 

 of Euphcedra it is on the wing throughout the dry season, though 

 specimens taken during that period are all more or less worn. 



Euphcedra losinga Hew. 



Sparingly on the Lualaba river probably throughout the year. 



Euphcedra neophron Hopff. 



Not rare in the lower Luangwa and mid-Zambezi valleys, where 

 it seems to be the sole representative of its genus. It usually 

 frequents the thickets and forest near streams, etc. Does not 

 occur on the plateau west of the Mchinga escarpment or in 

 Katanga. 



Euryphene plistonax Hew. 



Represented by a single female captured near the lower Lufupa 

 river, 5.x. 07. This specimen was taken in deep shade in a dried- 

 up stream-bed. 



Euryphene mardania Fabr. 



Not rare in forest in the Lualaba district, but wary and difficult 

 to capture. 



Euryphene senegalensis orientis Karsch. 



Scarce in thickets or forest in the lower Luangwa valley. 



Euryphene sophus Fabr. 



A single male captured in forest on the Lualaba river, 5.V.07. 



Diestogyna veronica Cram. 



A series of three males and four females from the Lualaba 

 river, iv., v., and x. The males are indistinguishable from West 

 Coast specimens except for the reduction of the small subapical 

 white spots. : The females, however, are of- great interest, being 

 more like those of D. tddemd Hew. and allies in general coloration. 

 They entirely lack the rufous suffusion of West Coast females
