Type <$ in Hope Coll., Oxford : Petauke, Luangwa vallev, 

 16.iii.05. 



Cotype S in the British Museum : upper Kalungwisi valley, 

 7.ix.07. 



The above two specimens of this striking species, with the 

 addition of a third from east of Lake Bangweolo, x., were the 

 only ones met with, though the localities are several hundred 

 miles apart. They were all captured in rather open spots at 

 damp mud, among a number of other Lycsenida?. 



Phylaria heritsia Karsch, f. virgo Butler. 



A species which occurs sparingly throughout the high platea.u 

 country of IST.E. Rhodesia and Katanga, x. and xi. It seems to be 

 absent from the Luangwa valley. It frequents the edges of 

 forest. 



Uranothauma antinorii Oberth. 



This species seems to be nowhere common, but I took it 

 occasionally throughout the pla/fceau country and Katanga, ix. 

 and x. 



Uranothauma nubifer Trim. 



Represented by only two males from some forest on the 

 Tanganyika plateau between the Lofu river and the lake, viii. 



Uranothauma poggei Dewitz. 



This is a common plateau species largely replacing the next. 

 Like its congeners it frequents the banks of streams and damp 

 places, usually in the neighbourhood of forest. 



Uranothauma falkensteini Dewitz. 



I found this species not uncommon in the Luangwa valley 

 and sparingly in Katanga. I did not meet with it on the high 

 plateau. 



Cacyreus lingeus Cram. 



This species is ubiquitous and on the wing all the year. 



Castalius sybaris Hopff. 



This species occurs sparingly throughout the year in the 

 Luangwa valley. I also took one specimen at Kambove, vL, 

 but did not meet with it elsewhere. 



Castalius hintza Trim. 



I found this species sparingly over a wide area, but did hot 

 meet with it in the Luano-wa valley t ■ •-'
