62 Neiv Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



Hind wing with outer edge of band strongly dentate and with a series 

 of seven rounded black spots of even size placed within the teeth of 

 the band, the space between each spot and the outer edge being dusted 

 with black. 



Underside with markings and coloration of typical form but 

 showing the differences remarked on the upperside.

The first ? to be described of this species is described by Schultze, 

 lc, as being white. We now describe a brown form. The species 

 of this group are rare and the ? ? exceedingly so. It would not be 

 surprising if all the species had dimorphic ? ? . E. pinto Ward is 

 known to possess two forms of female, and both are represented in the 

 Joicey collection from Nyasaland. 



? . Upperside with black-brown ground-colour and broad rufous- 

 brown bands, which vary in depth of colour. Fore wing with band 

 broad on the inner margin and narrowing beyond vein 3 and ending 

 on vein 7. The proximal edge of band slightly indented between 

 veins 7 and 4, and removed from the cell in this area ; the bases of 

 cellules 2 and 3 not filled in by the band. Distal edge of band 

 crenulate and running parallel to the margin, and heavily marked with 

 darker ground-colour. A series of 5 small dark-brown spots lies within 

 the band near the distal edge ; the posterior spot is large and heavy 

 and tends to become fused with the submarginal area ; spots 3 and 

 4 are the smaller, and spot 5 lies partly in the dark apical area ; 

 there is a spot in 6 just outside the band. 



Hind wing with band extending from costa to inner margin and 

 narrower at costa ; its proximal edge nearly straight and slightly 

 curved anteriorly, its distal edge evenly curved and marked by a 

 series of large rounded spots of ground-colour ; these spots are 

 outwardly faintly outlined by rufous and are separated only by the 

 veins ; they decrease in size anteriorly. The outer edge of these spots 

 is heavily marked by darker ground-colour. The submarginal area is 

 broader than on the fore wing. 



Underside paler than above, with bands and spots reproduced in
