78 MR. S. A. NEAVE ON T BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 18, 



streak within cell, and another streak below cell in area \c : a 

 row of six discal spots from costa around cell and to vein 2 ; the 

 first of these, that below costa, extends to outer margin as a long 

 black streak ; outer margin broad, consisting of black internervular 

 streaks, alternating with the veins which are outlined in pale 

 yellowish ; broad, black inner margin bears two faint rows of 

 golden scales. 



Fringe dusky ; palpi very short, with a few dark hairs at tip ; 

 thorax dusky ; abdomen dusky above, ochreous below. 



Length of primary 12 - 5 mm. 



Type S hi the British Museum : Kambove, Katanga, 8.ii.07. 



Described from a single male, which is a rather worn specimen. 

 It is possible that in a fresh specimen the yellow coloration on 

 the underside would be much brighter. 



From so little material I should have hesitated to describe this 

 species but for its very distinct underside. 



Kedestes chaca Trim. 



A single male from the Lualaba river, iv. 



Kedestes tucusa Trim. 



Represented by two males from Mporokoso, upper Kalungwisi 

 valley, viii. and ix. These specimens are rather smaller and 

 more clearly marked than South African specimens. 



Kedestes mohozutza Wallengr. 



A common species on the high plateau during the wet season. 

 Not met with in the Luangwa valley or in Katanga. 



Kedestes fenestratus Butler. 



I have in the collection a considerable series of a species very 

 doubtfully distinct from the above. Most individuals have a 

 distinct discal row of pale spots around cell on underside of 

 secondaries, but there are traces of these in the types from 

 Zomba. 



Kedestes callicles Hew. 



A common Luangwa valley species, xii.-iv. 



Kedestes malua, sp. n. (Plate III. fig. 12, S •) 



A very distinct species, perhaps remotely allied to mohozutza 

 etc., the olive-.yellow white-spotted underside being especially 

 characteristic. 



3 . ITpperside. — Primaries dusky olive, with a few yellowish 

 scales at base especially along costal and inner margins ; the fol- 

 lowing hyaline spots : — a discocellular ; three minute spots below 

 costa midway between cell-end and apex ; a small spot in area 3 

 beyond and a much larger one in area 2 beloiv end of cell ; traces of 

 a yellowish spot on middle of vein 1 ; a line of indefinite yellowish 

 submarginal internervular spots following outer margin.
