560 Neiv Forms of African Lepidoptera 



in the $ but less waved and more distinct anteriorly, and denning the 

 edge of a distal band, slightly darker than the ground-colour, therefore 

 less distinct than in the $ ; this band extends from the inner margin 

 to the costa, and bears numerous hyaline scales as in the $ . 



Head and mesothorax anteriorly yellow, rest of thorax fawn-colour, 

 abdomen fawn mixed with dull-yellow above, golden-yellow below. 

 Antennae pectinate and ciliate as in the $ . 



Length of fore wing : $ ¥ , 23 mm. 



Habitat. — Lufira Eiver, near Likasi Copper Mine, 4,000 feet 

 Katanga, April 8, 1919, one $ (type); February 15, 1919, one % (type). 

 East Luvua Valley, five days north-east of Lake Mwaru, 4,000- 

 5,000 feet, March, 1922, one $ .

$ . This distinct race is distinguished by the fore wing having the 

 postdiscal lines indistinct and without any white submarginal marks. 

 The hind wing with a submarginal row of large lunulate spots of purple 

 madder, divided by the veins. 



Upperside of fore wing blackish to beyond the cell, distal area to the 

 marginal band dark purplish-red, strongly suffused with black and 

 anteriorly more or less with dark ochreous. A large but narrow 

 lunulate discocellular spot, its central part hyaline edged with white, 

 with a bordering of dark-yellow and an outer border of black. Mar- 

 ginal band ochreous-yellow, paler on the inner edge. A black sub- 

 marginal line from inner margin to vein 8, angled inwards on the veins, 

 and between it and the inner edge of band, a series of four black circles 

 in 2 to 5. A black eye spot in 6, its inner edge rounded, outer edge 

 angled, and bearing a curved white line near the outer edge. Apical 

 patch of purple madder, its outer edge only touching the margin at 

 costa, and with upper part edged with black, inner edge angled, edged 

 with white. Hind wing similarly coloured to the fore wing and with a 

 similar discocellular spot. Ground-colour darker than on fore wing with 

 a pale curved postdiscal band. Inner edge of the ochreous marginal 

 band waved, this band mostly taken up by the lunulate spots mentioned 

 above. A black submarginal line, thicker than on the fore wing, 

 separated from the spots by a fine pale line, and indented on the veins.
