MR. S. A. XEAVE OX BUTTERFLIES 



[Jan. 18, 



In this attitude the bright sulphur-coloured legs exhibit a marked 

 contrast to the black and white wings. 



MlMACR.EA MARSHALL! Trim. 



I took about twenty individuals of this fine species in the 

 Lualaba valley, iv. and v., and one other later in the year, x. 

 I also saw a few individuals in the Ohambezi valley, iv. and v. 

 These Central African specimens seem to be slightly more heavily 

 marked than those from Mashonaland. I found its habits and 

 the nature of its habitat very much as Marshall describes*, but 

 did not observe it settling head downwards on the trunks as he 

 records.

Mimacresa marslialli Trim., on a tree-trunk. 



When in the Chambezi valley in May 1908, I was so fortunate 

 as to obtain some photographs of this interesting species resting 

 on a tree-trunk. I was also lucky enough to capture, on more than 

 one occasion, both this species and Pseudacnea poggei as well as 

 their model Limnas chrysipp>us within a few yards of each other.
