Nehroda lohenr/ida, E. M. Sharpe, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, 

 vol. n. p. 346 (1890). 



J • Near to A. albimaculafa of Natal, considerably larger and 

 with the costal margin of the primaries comparatively longer (even 

 more so than in A. Jianningtonii) ; the spot in the cell much 

 larger, the latter and the subquadrate spot at centre of the lo^^•er 

 median interspace of a less pure white ; the ochreous belt on the 

 secondaries brighter and of fully double the width ; submarginal 

 spots nearly as in A. echeria. Expanse of wings 90 millim. 



Zomba, July 1892. 



Our largest male example of A. cdhimacidata measures 72 

 millim. in expanse. 



3. Amauris whytei, sp. n. 



5 2 . Near to A. echeria ; larger, the primaries with white 

 spots very slightly tinted with ochre and formed as in A. hamiing- 

 tonii; the secondaries with the ochreous belt paler and duller, 

 resembling the under-surface colouring in A. echeria, quite half as 

 wide again as in that species, and with a less acutely angled outer 

 edge : from the preceding species it differs in its inferior size, less 

 produced primaries with yellower spots, the narrower, duller, and 

 paler ochreous belt on the secondaries, and consequently broader 

 black outer border. Expanse of wings 85 millim. 



Zomba, December 1892. 



I had hoped to find that this was the A. steclceri of Kheil, the 

 label of which remained a blank in the collection ; but, on looking 

 up the description and figure, I find that A. steclceri is typical 

 A. echeria and has been compared with A. albimaculata under the 

 impression that the latter represented Stoll's species. A. whytei 

 is nearer to A. jacTcsoni, E. M. Sharpe, but perfectly distinct.
