50' New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



of ochreous area is straight and oblique from close to costa to vein 5, 

 it projects in cellule 4 and is thence slightly crenulate to the inner 

 margin. The costa, from near base of vein 11, is black-brown to 

 the base, also the discocellulars and a portion of upper part of cell 

 to base, extending to the submedian. The proximal edge of the 

 ochreous area is parallel to the distal edge between veins 12 and 4, 

 from the origin of 4 it is outwardly curved in the cell and downwards 

 to the inner margin between origin of 2 and the base. Hind wing 

 with some black-brown dusting at the base, and a black-brown distal 

 margin 3 mm. broad. The veins and intraneural folds are more 

 heavily scaled with black-brown on the distal margin, and these 

 streaks extend shortly into the ochreous area. 



Underside paler than the upper. Fore wing with veins and intra- 

 neural streaks in the apical and distal marginal areas. Hind wing 

 with eleven black basal spots, one in nine, one in upper part of cell, 

 two in lower part, one at base of lc, two beyond it in line, one in 

 lb, lying between the outer two above, a dot beyond it and below 

 the one above, a spot in la below the second one in c, a dot beyond 

 it below the middle one in b. Veins la — 8 pale brown, and heavy 

 intraneural stripes from near cell to the margin. 



Length of fore wing 24 mm. 



Described from two specimens from West Semliki River, near 

 Lesse, January, 1920, one $ . Ituri Forest, N.W. Beni, January, 

 1920, one S. Both collected by T. A. Barns. The following 

 specimens, captured by Dr. S. A. Neave, are in the British Museum. 

 Unyoro, Bugomia Forest, 2 — 4, xii. 3,700 feet, two S $ ; Toro, 

 Daro or Durro Forest, 4,000—4,500 feet, October, 1911, four $ $ . 

 All taken in cool and dense forest. 



12. Acraea leucopyga latiapicalis subsp. nov. (pi. IX, fig. 9). 



This represents most probably the Congo race of the species 

 hitherto known from Rhodesia, Tanganyika Territory, and Uganda. 



S . Differs from typical leucopyga Auriv. in the broader black 

 and straight-edged apical area on the fore wing. There is no discal 

 spot in cellule 5 of the hind wing. 



The similar-looking intermedia Wichgr. is at once distinguished 

 from it by the heavier spotting and the outer submedian spot on the 

 fore wing lying below the one in cellule 2. 



Habitat. — Kabala, Upper Congo. June, 1919, one 8 ,
