1899,] FROM BEITISH EAST AFHICA. 967 



25. Eteres kedonga Grose-Smith. (Plate LXX. fig. 4.) 



c? (S , Plains N. of the Tana River, Kikuyu, 5th January, 1899. 



Mr. Crawshay sent us the female of this extremely pretty 



species in his last collection (see P. Z. S. 1899, pi. xiv. figs. 3, 3 a). 



26. Tabfcus plintus Pabr. 



5, Athi Valley, 16th December, 1898; J , Ndya, 4500 feet, 

 Kikuyu, 16th January, 1899. 



Of the female '^h\ Crawshay observes — " Common, and all 

 eAddently newly emerged." 



27. ZizEEA KNYSifA Trim. 



2 , Slopes of Nthatha Hill, 4700 feet, Kitwi, 31st December, 

 1898 ; 6,2, Muthambi River, 4500 feet, Xdya, 8th & 10th 

 January, 1899. 



28. ZizEBA GAiKA Trim. 



c? (5" , Tana River, 3800 feet, 2nd January ; Neugia, Kitwi, 7th 

 February, 1899. 



Of the second example Mr. Crawshay observes — " The smallest 

 butterfly I have ever seen." It is a starved specimen. 



29. Lyc^nesthes amarah Lefeb.

 1 898 -,66, Plains ]S^. of the Tana River, 5th January, Tana 

 River, 3800 feet, 16th January, 1899. 



30. Cacyreus lingeus Cram. 



<S cJ , Clue to exact locality and date lost. 



31. Phlyaria yirgo Butl. 



2 , Muthambi River, 4500 feet, Ndya, 10 January, 1899. 



" The only specimen I have seen in these parts, and like, if not 

 identical with, another which I used to take in the mountains of 

 Nyika" (B.C.). 



According to Prof. Aurivillius this is the female of the "West 

 Coast P. heritsia, but some of the details of marking make me 

 hesitate to accept this dictum until I have seen East-African males. 

 In my opinion the border of the secondai-ies is too narrow and 

 the markings on the under sarface of these wings too feeble for 

 P. heritsia : I may prove to be wrong, but I very strongly object 

 to putting species together by guess. 



32. Chloeoselas azubea, sp. n. (Plate LXX. figs. 2, 3.) 

 Intermediate between C. tamaniba from Suakin and C. esmeraldn 



from Somali-land ; evidently nearest to the former. It is consider- 

 ably larger than G. esmendda, the shot-colouring on the upperside 

 of the wdngs being glistening deep sky-blue instead of emerald 

 shaded with blue : in the primaries this colouring is restricted to 

 the outer half of the internal area and the internal margin nearlv
