fig. 13( 9; Uganda). Neave, 1912, Bull. Ent. Res., III, pp. 288, 320, and 322, Pl. XJ, fig.2 ( o). 
Bretatan Conao. — Valley of the Mungofwe, February 19, 1916 (J. Rodhain). 
Kamaniola, February 1, 1927, numerous males and females; the males were all 
taken resting on blades of grass in the short grass savanna, in the early morning 
(about 7 a.m.). Luvungi, January 30, 1927. Kundelungu Plateau, December 
19, 1912. 
H. similis and the closely allied H. wnicolor Ricardo form the transition from 
the species with markedly paler basal area of the wing to those in which the wing 
is more uniformly mottled. The contrast between the two areas of the wing is 
even less marked in the male than in the female. The extent of the dark mark- 
ings of the first abdominal tergites varies considerably in the series of males I 
have taken at Kamaniola, but they are never as much reduced as in the male of 
H. unicolor. 
H. similis is known only from Uganda (where it is common), the Nyanza 
Province of Kenya Colony, the eastern borderland of the Belgian Congo, and 
Katanga. 
Owing to the very faint pale rings of the hind tibiae, this species has been 
inserted twice in the key.
