New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 45 



2. Mylothris latimargo sp. nov. (pi. IX, fig. 2, 3 , 3 ? ). 



Allied to z/wZei Butl., and distinguished from this by the narrow 

 apical border on the fore wing, and the reduced yellow basal colouring. 



3 . Upperside as in yulei Butl. Apical black narrower, base 

 slightly tinged with yellow. Underside of fore wing has less basal 

 yellow than in yulei. Apical area washed with pale buff. Hind wing 

 pale buff. 



? . Upperside of fore wing with more creamy-white than in yulei 

 ? but similar markings ; the edge of the apical patch is not sharply 

 defined, and is marked with pale yellow stripes between the veins ; 

 basal yellow paler. Hind wing with a yellowish tinge. 



Underside as in the 3 , basal yellow extended. 



Length of fore wing : 3 27 mm., ? 28 mm. 



Habitat. — Kavirondo, E. Africa, August, 1901. A. H. Neumann, 

 one 3 (type) ; Kikura Biver, Lufira Valley, S.E. Congo. T. A. Barns, 

 one ? (allotype) ; Lumpungu Biver, Malagarassi Valley, Urindi 

 District, July, 1919. T. A. Barns, one 3 . 



The specimen from the Urindi District is a little different, but may 

 represent a dry-season form. The wings are white on both sides, the 

 apical black is as in some specimens of yulei, a little broader than the 

 type and reaching vein 5. The marginal dots of the hind wing are 

 obsolete. 



3. Mylothris ruandana, Strand. 5 (pi. IX, fig. 4). 



Upperside with broader dark margin to fore wing, the basal half of 

 cell scaled with brown. The hind wing of a deeper yellow than in the 

 male. Underside as in the 3 , but fore wing with basal half of cell 

 orange-yellow. 



One specimen, also one 3 from Lava Plains, Karissimbi, Kivu, 

 October. 



4. Pieris solilucis Butl. f. sabulosa ? forma nov. 



Distinguished from other females of this species by its yellow-sandy 

 colour. The apical area of fore wing is broadly black-brown, reaching 

 below vein 3 ; there is a marginal spot on vein 2 and a smaller one on 

 the submedian. The hind wing has marginal dots on veins lb, 2, and 

 3, and an indication of one on vein 4.
