88 MR. R. TRIMEN ON BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 20, 



blackish subbasal infracellular marking larger, more as in A. 

 masiUkas:i,Wa\lengr. ; two sub marginal streaks pale grey, interrupted 

 on nervules, the inner one commencing with a small costal spot (as 

 in masilikasi) and becoming blackish below 2nd median nervule. 

 Hind wing : subbasal spots extremely indistinct ; the two fasciae very 

 much more irregular than in either A. natalensis or A. masilikasi, and 

 in outline and relative position much as in A. ella, Hewits., the ex- 

 tremity of the short outer fascia just meeting a projection of the long 

 median one on 3rd median nervule ; two submargioal streaks linear, 

 pale grey, broken into lunules, the inner one spangled with silvery 

 along its lower half; a very small anal-angular black spot, and near 

 it (just above subinedian nervure) a minute silvery-spangled spot. 



Although this form is represented by a rather worn individual 

 only, the characters of the underside are so markedly different from 

 those of any Aphnceus known to me that I have no hesitation in 

 noting it as a distinct species. The anal-angular lobe of the hind 

 wings appears to be much less prominent than in the allied species, 

 but this may be partly due to the wing being more worn in that 

 part than elsewhere. 



Omrora (November). One male example.

Aphnceus victorice, Butl. Ent. M. Mag. xx. p. 251 (1884). 



Omrora (November). One male example. 



I have already noticed this specimen in my ' South-African 

 Butterflies' (iii. p. 414, note), pointing out the alliance of the 

 species to A. onasilikazi, and the singularity of the underside 

 markings which distinguish it. Mr. Butler gives Victoria Nyanza 

 as the hahitat of the type.

As Dewitz remarks (Joe. ciL), there is close agreement on the 

 upperside between this species and A, natalensis (Westw.). xA.s 

 regards the underside, however, not only is the ground-colour of a 

 decidedly duller yellow (in some specimens inclining to ochreous or 



1 Dewitz notes that this species was brought from Angola by both Homeyer 

 and Pogge, and that the latter took one specimen at Mukenge on 9th December. 

 (The latter locality is situated in about 6° S. lat. and 22° 30' W. long., close to the 

 Lulua Eiver.)
