12. Cyclirius vulcanica sp. no v. 



Allied to aequatorialis Shpe. and possibly a race of this. 



$ . Upperside as in the allied form but the marginal black a little 

 wider. 



Underside of fore wing with ground-colour darker than in aequatorialis, 

 no grey apical suffusion, or just a trace, fringe more distinctly chequered. 

 Hind wing with the grey costal patch narrower, the space between its 

 outer edge and the postdiscal band broader ; the grey-white postdiscal 

 band narrower, and with a distinct cut in cellule 4, sometimes 

 extending through the band. 



$ . Upperside as in aequatorialis, but with more restricted greenish- 

 blue, there being only a few scattered scales in 2 and 3. Underside 

 as in the male. 



Length of fore wing : $ 12-13 mm., $ 11 mm.

13. Cyclirius aequatorialis Shpe. marungensis subsp. nov. 



$ . More resembles vulcanica on the upperside, but the brown 

 margins of the fore wing are even broader. 



Underside with less grey-white suffusion than in the typical form. 

 Hind wing with the costal patch mostly reduced, and the grey-white 

 postdiscal band narrowed below vein 4. 



$ . Upperside resembles this sex of noquasa major (described here-

The typical aequatorialis occurs further north in the Kivu District 

 and Eugege Forest to Ruwenzori, and is slightly variable. We cannot 

 separate the Kivu series from East African specimens.
