74 MB. R. TRIMEN ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [Jan. 16, 



smaller (and in hind wings differently disposed) spots ; and on 

 the underside by the greatly reduced and broken-up apical yellow 

 in the fore wings, and larger and more numerous black spots and 

 black (instead of yellow) inner-marginal fold in the hind wings. 



Genus Pamphila, Fabr. 



145. Pamphila morantii, Trim. 



§ . Pamphila morantii, Trim. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1873, 

 p. 112 ; and d, S.-Afr. Butt. iii. p. 311, pi. 12. fig. 3 (1889). 



A single male, captured in Mineni Valley on 8th March, belongs 

 to the variation P. ranoha, Westw., in which the underside colour- 

 ing is yellow-ochreous, without ferruginous tinge. 



146. Pamphila harona, Westw. 



Pamphila harona, Westw., App. Oates's Matabele-land, p. 353. 

 n. 75 (1881). 



The six males in the collection (two from Umtali Biver, 28th 

 February, and four from Mineni Valley, 7th to 25th March) differ 

 from Westwood's description (and from two examples agreeing 

 with this w 7 hich were taken by Mr. Selous in 1883-84 in some 

 part of the South-Tropical tract not recorded) in the following 

 particulars, viz. : — larger size ; better development of the dark 

 markings of its upperside (especially of the lower basal and disco- 

 cellular markings of the fore wings, and the hind-marginal border 

 of the hind wings), .the two Umtali specimens and one of those 

 from the Mineni Valley having them more strongly developed 

 than the rest ; and more or less reddish-tinged underside of the 

 hind wings and apex of the fore wings, with a greater or less 

 tendency to inter-nervular creamy longitudinal stripes. This pale 

 striping is least apparent in a specimen from Mineni Valley which 

 on the upperside is nearest to the type-form ; it is better indicated 

 in those already mentioned as most strongly dark-marked on the 

 upperside ; and in two Mineni Valley examples, which present 

 intermediate upperside markings, it is strikingly pronounced. 



The specimens on which this species was founded are recorded 

 (I. c.) as taken by the late Mr. F. Oates near the Victoria Falls of 

 the Zambesi, in January. 



Mr. Selous notes this Butterfly as being rather numerous, very 

 swift in flight, but frequently settling in bushes, or drinking at 

 the water's edge. 



147. Pamphila zimbazo, n. sp. (Plate VI. fig. 17, $ .) 

 Allied to P. harona and to P. morantii. 



Exp. al.(S) 1 in. 1-2 lin. ; (?) 1 in. 1^-2| lin. 

 <5 . Blackish-brown, with in each wing an ochre-yellow transverse 

 discal band, long and irregular in fore wing, short and regular in 

 hind wing. Fore wing : basal half of costa broadly clouded with 

 ochre-yellow ; discal band of moderate width, beginning well 

 beyond middle just below costa, elbowed outwardly and narrowed
