66. Baoeis AUBrriNCTUS Butl. 



cJ, Tana River, 3800 feet, 16th January, 1899. 

 " Taken in my two hands and then manipulated so as to enable 

 me to transfix it with a thorn, after which I was able to administer 

 the necessary pinch " (R. C). 



67. Baoris maranga, sp. n. (Plate LXX. fig. 5.) 



Not nearly related to anything known to me. AVings deep 

 smoky brown ; the male with three unequal streaks of bronze- 

 brown only visible in certain lights, divided by the median vein with 

 its lirst and second branches ; fringe towards anal angle of 

 secondaries and anal tuft paler : wings below slightly more silky 

 than above; primaries with an oblique series of three whitish dots 

 beyond the cell ; secondaries with a central patch slightly paler 

 than the ground-colour. Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



The female chiefly differs in having five transparent spots in the 

 primaries — three in an oblique series beyond the cell (answering 

 to those on the under surface of the male), and two placed obliquely 

 near the base of the median interspaces; fringe towards anal angle 

 of secondaries and anal tuft whitish. Expanse of wings 34 millim. 



Muthambi Eiver, 4500 feet, Ndya, 7th & 10th January, 1899. 



Of the male Mr. Crawshay writes, " A new slcippei- to me;" and 

 of the female, " Greenish-white spherical ova." 



This species, though unlike any other African species that I 

 have seen, either in collections or plates, and unrecognizable in any 

 published description that I have met with, is perhaps more nearly 

 related to B. alberti than to any other known species. 



68. Rhopalocampta anchises Gerst. 



2 , Bondoni Plains, 5400 feet, 8th December, 1898. 



In the present collection Mr. Crawshay unfortunately did not 

 follow his usual plan of putting the exact locality on every 

 envelope, but in some instances referred to a number ; thus : — 

 See no. 166, 125, or 146, place and date. Not being at all 

 prepared for this, I took no special note of these collector's numbers 

 until I came to one of the notes, by which time no. 166 had been 

 incorporated and I had lost all clue to it ; the others I happily 

 found : this \\'ill account for the absence of exact localities and 

 dates for several species, they are all referred to no. 166 (cf. Acrcm 

 cdbira, Cacyreus lingeus, and Eretis djcdcdce). 



One other species was obtained by Mr. Crawshay — a possibly 

 new Ypthima, — but in such a shattered condition that it is neither 

 fit for description nor for the collection ; it is also referred to the 

 unlucky number.
