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



17. Precis archesia f. obsoleta forma nov. 



This form is of frequent occurrence, but does not seem to have 

 received a name, It is distinguished by the absence of red-brown 

 markings above. The place of the band on the fore wing is taken by 

 black scaling, and on the hind wing the spots are edged outwardly with 

 some faint red-brown scaling. The undersurface is similar to the wet- 

 season form staudingeri Dew. 



Habitat. — With the typical form. In the Joicey collection from 

 Kassula, Malalo Eiver, Eutschugi Valley, Udjiji District, July, 1919, 

 one $ (type) ; Kasama Eiver, May, 1917, one S , T. A. Barns; Bihe 

 District, Angola, two $ $ ; N.W. Ehodesia, May 17, 1904, H. Cookson,

18. Hypolimnas salmacis $ f. ochreata form nov. 



We propose the name ochreata for the females of this species having 

 pale ochreous coloration instead of white. 



H. monteironis Druce. 



H. monteironis Druce, Cist. Ent. i, p. 286 (Old Calabar and Angola) 

 (1874). 



The genital armature of this form agrees with that of salmacis. 



19. Aterica galene f. albimacxda forma nov. 



This form is distinguished by the spots on the fore wing being 

 white, and the patch of the hind wing also white or partly so. 



f. extensa Heron. 



Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond. xix, p. 153 (Euwenzori) (1909). 



This was described as being a local race, but treated by Aurivillius 

 as an individual aberration (Seitz Macrolep. xiii, p. 191). We agree. 

 This form is in the Joicey collection from the Euanda and Udjiji Dis- 

 tricts, Albertville, Nyasaland and Portuguese Congo. It is transitional 

 to theophane Hopff. 



20. Cymothoe theobene $ f. umbrina form. nov. 



Distinguished by the white areas being dusted over with black- 

 brown. The veins are sometimes scaled with yellow-brown, and one 

 specimen show's a discal patch of yellow-brown on the hind wing.
