1902.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM UGANDA. 49 



I once supposed that A. orinata would prove to be a variety 

 of A . oppidia <S , and Prof. Aurivillius believed it to be a form of 

 A. or ma, but we were both wrong ; it is a good distinct species. 



Aphn^us hollandi, sp. n. (Plate I. fig. 7.) 



J . Nearly allied to A. orcas ; but the metallic colouring of the 

 upper sui-face more brilliant and rather emerald-green than 

 greenish blue ; the black cell-spots on the primaries ai'e consider- 

 ably larger and the apical area is black with scarcely a trace of 

 metallic scaling, the subapical series of spots (of which only the 

 two uppermost are clearly visible) reduced to a few metallic 

 scales ; on the secondaries the metallic patch extends closer to the 

 outer margin, the apical area is browner, and the marginal spot 

 between the tails is ochreous instead of red : on the under surface 

 the differences are much more marked ; the ground-colour of the 

 primaries is of a palish earthy brown with the silver markings 

 bordered with deep maroon ; the arrangement similar to that in 

 A. orcas, but the short band at end of cell truncated in front and 

 gradually narrowing backwards ; no submarginal silver spots ; 

 the oblique streak towards external angle very narrow ; secondaries 

 with the ground-colour yellowish stone-colour suffused with grey 

 (or sordid) towards base and apex ; the silver markings bordered 

 with ferruginous red ; the arrangement of these markings is 

 similar to that in A. orcas, bu.t the submarginal series is placed 

 upon a ferruginous band and is almost obliterated excepting at 

 anal angle ; the oblique internal bar above the latter is curved, so 

 as almost to join the broad discal belt, and the two silver spots 

 above it are greatly reduced in size ; the anal lobe is much paler 

 in colouring — ochreous with a quadrate central ferruginous patch ; 

 the fringe brown where it is black in A, orcas. Expanse of wings 

 39 mm. 



Congo forest, July 16th, 1900. 



I have named this beautiful little butterfly in honour of my 

 friend Dr. W. J. Holland of Pittsburg, whose admirable photo- 

 graphic plate in the 'Entomological News' for 1893 has greatly 

 facilitated the identification of the species of Aphnceus. 



Belenois calypso Drury. 



Var. S • The secondaries white below, with the usual markings, 

 but the orange streaks at base and apex of costa (which are usually 

 ill-defined) and a dash at the base of the submedian vein sharply 

 defined in deep orange (more so than in B. dentigera). 



Prof. Aurivillius correctly states that B. agylla is synonymous 

 with B. solilucis (not with B. ianthe). Until I saw the specimens 

 in the present collection, I was not aware that the border of 

 the primaries was ever so wide in B. solilucis as is shown in 

 Rogenhofer's figure, and I naturally supposed the regularity of 

 the border in that figure to be due to inaccurate drawing.
