and perhaps the Chrysophanus; and that there is barely a trace 
of the Abyssinian fauna in the materials before me. But these 
suggestions may all be set aside whenever a representative collection 
is made. Of the 27 species no less than 19 are represented by single 
specimens. 
Rhopalocera. 
1. Danais dorippus. 
Euploea dorippus , Klug, Symb. Phys., Xnsecta, t. 48. f. 1-5. 
Kilima-njaro, rocky, wooded, and cultivated country and grassy 
downs, at 4000-5000 feet, July. 
Four examples (2 $ , 2 $). 
None of these specimens have any white on the secondaries, and 
agree best with Fig. 5 of King’s plate. D. dorippus is a common 
East African species. 
2. AcRiEA JoHNSTONI, Sp. nOV. 
A Us anticis rufis , apicibus et marginibus externis (introrsum valde 
sinuatis; nigro-fuscis ) posticis ad basin et marginibus externis 
late nigrescentibus, area discali albida venis fuscis divisa ; subtus 
anticis fere omnino rufis ad marginem externum canescentibus , 
venis nigris et inter eas striolis fuscescentibus ; posticis ut supra 
limbo externo canescente venis et striolis inter eas diviso ; maculis 
quibusdam ad basin nigris; palpis, femoribus interne , abdomine 
infra , et maculis costalibus , rufis ; capite et thorace maculis cdbis 
notatis. 
Kilima-njaro, clearing in forest at 5500 feet, September. 
A single male specimen of this apparently very distinct species. 
3. AcRiEA INSIGNIS. 
Acrcea insignis, Distant, P. Z. S. 1880, p. 184, t. xix. f. '6. 
Acrcea Buxtoni , Hew. Ent. Month. Mag. xiv. p. 154. 
Kilima-njaro, wooded hills at 5000 feet, August. 
This insect was first described by Hewitson from examples procured 
by Buxton in the neighbourhood of Zanzibar, and was named by him 
after its discoverer. Mr. Distant pointed out that the name A. Buxtoni 
had been already applied to another species by Mr. Butler, and hence 
renamed it as above. Our collection contains a good series of this 
insect, chiefly taken by Mr. Last at Mamboia in Eastern Central 
Africa. These exhibit considerable variation in the amount of black 
at the base of the secondaries, for while some specimens have only 
four or five isolated spots, others have a large confluent patch 
occupying the basal third of these wings, and between these two 
extremes we have every intermediate, all captured in the same locality 
and at the same time.
