British East-Africa: Nakuru; H. A. Bodbker, — British 

 Museum. 



Somewhat allied to T. acaciae Klug. 



Taragama vesta Druce. — The hitherto unknown J* of 

 this species differs so completely from the $, that no one 

 would be able to suppose their identity without breeding. 

 Mr G. D. H. Carpenter has bred both sexes at Bugalla on 

 the Sesse Islands in Victoria Nyanza.
