[Plate V.*] 



The collection of Lepidoptera Rhopalocera, consisting of about a thousand specimens 

 belonging to (roughly) 170 species, of which eight are new to science, was made by 

 the Hon. Gerald Legge and Mr. A. F. R. Wollaston. 



The most abundant species, of which series of more than 20 examples were taken, 

 were Mycalesis matuta, Salamis anacardii nehidosa, Uranothauma delatorum, Castalius 

 margaritaceus, Cyclyrius cequatorialis, Azanus natalensis, and Nychitona medusa. 



The eight new species belong respectively to the genera Gnophodes, Acrcea, Charaxes, 

 Uranothauma, Harpendyreus (Lyceenidae), Oxypalpus, CeratricMa, and CMoneigia 

 (Hesperiidse). In addition to these, five new varieties or subspecies are here described. 



To the list of species collected by the Ruwenzori Expedition have been added the 

 species collected by Mr. G. F. Scott Elliot in the same district, as well as a few taken 

 by Prof. E. A. Minchin, Mr. W. G. Doggett, Mr. F. J. Jackson, and Sir H. H. Johnston.
