series of seven ocelli are very minute and subobsolete on the 

 underside. In addition to the median narrow brown fascia on the 

 underside (described as " rufous " by Hewitson), there is a shorter 

 parallel pre-median one, variable in distinctness but well marked in 

 one example. 



This species does Dot appear to have been met with so far to the 

 South before now. It has a very wide range, the locality of the 

 examples on which the species was founded being the White Nile ; 

 while Fernando Po, Gold Coast, and Angola are the habitats 

 given in Kirby's ' Catalogue of the Hewitson Collection ' (p. 125), 

 and Mr. Butler (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 59) records two 

 examples as sent by Eniin Pasha from two localities in the 

 Equatorial Province of Central Africa. The South-African Museum 

 possesses two specimens taken at Sierra Leone.

This ally of P. panda (Boisd.), which in the creamy-white of the 

 upperside exhibits some approach to P. leda (Gerst.), from 

 Mombasa, was described from a single female example, recorded 

 as taken by Mr. J. T. Last in the Gnuru Hills, opposite Zanzibar. 



A good series is in the collection from Manica under notice, a 

 few having been taken in Christmas Pass but many more in the 

 Mineni Valley. I give the following description of the male : — 



J . Exp. al. 1 in. 4—6 lin. 



Creamy-white, with fuscous borders. Fore wing: fuscous border 

 rather narrow from base as far as extremity of discoidal cell, but 

 broad apically and thence gradually narrowing to posterior angle ; 

 inner margin with a broad fuscous border from base, bounded 

 superiorly by median nervure and its 1st nervule, and narrowing 

 abruptly just before posterior angle, where it joins hind-marginal 

 border: along inner edge of hind-marginal border, between 1st 

 and 3rd median nervules, two more or less distinct black spots ; 

 basal swelling of costal nervure ochre-yellow, traces of the striola- 

 tion of the underside visible, chiefly in basal half : two submarginal 

 black streaks, parallel and close together, just perceptible in fuscous 

 border. Hind wing : costa narrowly and faintly clouded with 

 fuscous ; apex and hind margin with a rather broad fuscous border, 

 irregular along its inner edge, where it is more or less distinctly 

 marked by a series of black spots ; submarginal streaks as in fore 

 wing, except that they are bordered, very unequally and inter- 

 ruptedly, towards anal angle by two white streaks : striolation of 

 underside very apparent along inner-marginal area. Cilia whitish. 

 Underside. — Creamy, slightly yellower than upperside ; each wing 

 along costal and inner-marginal borders transversely marked with 

 black striolae of variable length and thickness (here and there 

 confluent), and with a submarginal series of ochre-yellow ocelli
