A LIST OF BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED 
87. — Acrcea 'pudorella, Auriv. Taita, Taveta. Apparently 
not common. 
38. — Acrcea caldarena, Hew. Rabai. This species does not 
seem by any means common. The examples taken are 
not typical, lacking as they do the pronounced black 
tip to the fore-wings. 
39. — Acrcea brcesia, Godm. Generally distributed. This 
species is particularly abundant in Taita, where the form 
regalis also is of frequent occurrence. 
40. — Acrcea onccea, Hopff. Widely distributed and often 
common. 
41 . — Acrcea ccecilia, Fabr. Not uncommon in Ukambani, and 
probably occurs elsewhere. 
42. — Acrcea natalica, Boisd. Generally abundant. 
43. — Acrcea terpsichore, L. Ubiquitous. I once found a pupa 
all golden on a yellow leaf. Each day when the sun was 
hot it raised itself so as to lie along the underside of the 
leaf. Was this due to the heat of the sun ? 
44. — Acrcea excelsior , Sharpe. I have only taken this at 
considerable elevations on the Aberdare Mountains, up 
to 11,000 ft. 
45. — Acrcea acerata, Hew. Taita, Kikuyu. All my specimens 
of this common species seem to be of the form 
tenella. 
46. — Acrcea bonasia alicia, Sharpe. Ukambani, Kikuyu, Kenia. 
Often exceedingly abundant. I once counted 460 on one 
small tree. 
47. — Acrcea uvui, Smith. Kikuyu, Kenia. Not uncommon. 
It is not possible to distinguish this from the preceding 
on the wing. 
48. — Acrcea cabira , Hopff. This is a common species every- 
where except in the coast district. It is very variable. 
49. — Acrcea pharsalus, Ward. Taita, North Kikuyu. 
Generally rather uncommon. 
50. — Acrcea encedon , L. Ubiquitous. The daira form seems 
to be the most numerous, but all forms occur. 
51. — Acrcea aubyni, Eltr. Coast district. This species does 
not seem common. It flies rather higher than most of 
its congeners, but not rapidly.
