ACBAEIDAE. 



7. Planema macaria hemileuca Jordan. ?. (pi. X, figs. 12, 3, 

 13, ?)• 



The ? is distinguished from macarista by the narrow black distal 

 area on the hind wing below, the inner edge of the white band being 

 placed more proximal as in macaria. 



We may remark here that in all Planema we have examined, the 

 claws of the 3 are unequal, and of the ? equal. 



? . Similar to macarista and macaria. Fore wing with the band 

 as broad as in macarista, both edges straight from costa to vein 4, but 

 from here to the outer margin the outer edge is strongly dentate ; a 

 constriction at the submedian fold. Hind wing with band placed as in 

 macaria. 



Underside with the bands as above, but with the apical area of fore 

 wing and distal area of hind wing brown as in macarista. The band of 

 the hind wing is sharply defined along both edges. 



Habitat. — Ituri Forest, north-eastern outskirts, three days south of 

 Irumu. February, 1920, T. A. Barns, one 3 ; N. bank, Ituri Eiver, 

 halfway between Avakubi and Penghe, May, 1920, T. A. Barns, one 

 ? (neallotype) . 



8. Acraea eltringhami sp. nov. (pi. X, fig. 11). 



We take the liberty of naming this interesting species after Dr. H. 

 Eltringham, who has so much advanced our knowledge of this group. 



Allied to insignis Dist., but easily distinguished by the strongly 

 dentate black marginal border of the hind wing. The claws are 

 unequal as in insignis. 



3 . Upperside of fore wing with the red basal area not reaching 

 end of cell and only extending slightly into the base of cellule 2. Hind 

 wing with black basal area as in insignis, but with clean-cut edges, and 

 no spots within. A black distal patch as in insignis, almost touching 

 the basal area at vein 3. The black marginal border is strongly 

 dentate.
