Type d" in the British Museum, from the upper Lofu valley, 

 Tanganyika plateau, about 40 miles south of the Lake, 26.viii.08. 

 Ootypes in the Hope Coll., Oxford. 



I captured four individuals of this species in all, two on the 

 upper Kafue river, ix., and two in the upper Lofu valley at the 

 end of August and beginning of September. It usually frequents 

 flowers, etc. on the outskirts of dense forest. One individual was 

 taken at damp mud. I have dedicated this species to my friend 

 Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall, who originally captured a damaged 

 individual of this species at Ma.zoe, in Mashonaland, so long ago 

 as September 1894, which specimen is now in the collection of 

 Mr. Roland Trimen. 



Spindasis phanes Trim. 



I took this species sparingly in the Luangwa valley, i. and 

 iii., but not elsewhere. 



Spindasis natalensis Dbl. &, Hew. 



Represented only by three specimens from the Luangwa valley, 

 i. and ii. 



Spindasis nyass^e Butler. 



This species occurred sparingly in the Luangwa valley, i.-viii. 

 I found it fairly common in the Ohambezi valley and the Lake 

 Bangweolo district, iv.-vii. 



Spindasis victoria Butler. 



This species is not uncommon in the Luangwa valley during
