New Forms of African Lepidoptera 561 



Underside markings as above. Ground-colour more indian-red with 

 less black suffusion. Fore wing with distinct pale postdiscal band, hind 

 wing with the band much more strongly marked, brighter in colour and 

 dusted with white, curved and broad on costa. The submarginal spots 

 more brightly coloured than on upperside, and bordered on the inside 

 with white tinged with yellow. Submedian area from postdiscal band 

 to base paler brown. 



Length of fore wing : 45-59 mm. 



Habitat. — Belgian Congo : District of West Kivu, Kisaba, Bugoie 

 Forest, 8,500 feet, November, 1921, two $ $ (type) ; Eugege Forest, 

 Euanda district, 8,000 feet, December, 1921, one $ . Collected by 

 T. A. Barns. 



33. Pseudaphelia simplex Rebel f. marginilinea f. nov. 



The form described by us as basiflava, pt. 1, p. 163, appears to be a 

 form of the present insect. It is figured in Barns' " Across the Great 

 Craterland to the Congo," pi. lxxxi, fig. 8, 1923. We have a specimen 

 in which the proximal area of the fore wing is ochraceous, leading on to 

 the form described below. The three forms have a similarly marked 

 head and neck, basiflava has but slight traces of the ochreous on the 

 thorax, more pronounced in the second form described here, and paler 

 yellow in marginilinea. 



$ . Upperside white, apical black extending to midway between 

 cell and apex, the edge more sharply defined than in simplex, and 

 continued narrowly to the tornus. Hind wing with a very narrow 

 black edging on the outer margin. 



Antennae black, head and thorax ochraceous, palpi slightly black 

 at the sides. Abdomen greyish-white, ringed with orange-yellow, 

 ventral surface blackish-brown, one specimen marked as in simplex. Legs 

 fuscous, femora white below, tibiae ochraceous below. Pectus white. 



Habitat. — Belgian Congo: Kondoloa district, Lindi Valley, 1,600- 

 1,700 feet, May, 1921, one $ ; Ituri Eiver district, March, 1920, three 

 $ $ . A specimen of the typical form was also obtained in the latter 

 locality. 



34. Pseudaphelia simplex f. ochracea f. nov. 



$ . Black markings as in the typical form, rest of wing ochraceous. 

 Underside with discocellular spots defined by black, absent in the typical 

 form but in basiflava present either on both sides or on one side only. 



Habitat. — Belgian Congo : Baf wasende, Lindi Eiver, 2,000 feet, 

 July 1921, one $.
