 " Dirty- white spike-shaped ova." (H. C.) 



The single female obtained is of the dry-season phase ; on the 

 upper surface it is far less marked than usual. 



46. Synchloe gl4:uconome Klug. 



6 , Machako's, 28th May, 1898. 



This is the first African example of the species that I have seen ; 

 it is slightly less heavily spotted than Arabian specimens, but is 

 otherwise identical. 



47. Phbissura ntasana Butler. (Plate XXV. fig. 4.) 



2 , Machako's, 3rd July, 1898. 



" Dirty-white ova." {R. C.) 



There can, I think, be no doubt that this is the female of the 

 Nyasa species ; it is rather smaller than the male and has the 

 usual broad costal border and dentate-sinuate outer border to the 

 primaries ; the cell of these wings is almost wholly orange as in 

 the male ; below, the chief diiference consists in the much whiter 

 secondaries with the marginal spots reduced to black dots. 



48. Herp^nia melanarge, var. iterata, Butler. 

 S , Machako's, 28th May, 1898.

c? , Machako's, 20th June, 1898. 



" Occasionally met with on these open plains, but evidently more 

 at home and more plentiful in the bush country." {R. 0.) 

 This is the driest phase of the species that I have seen.
