Allied to J. kowara and J. sinuata; primaries somewhat intermediate in form between the two, but the apical projecting portion narrower than in either; the secondaries much more elongated, with longer anal tail; no subangulation at extremity of radial nervure : in colouring it nearly resembles the most narrow-banded varieties of J. sinuata; but the tawny belt is brilliantly glossed, excepting at its margins, with soft rosy lilac; the under surface has the pattern of J. aurorina, but is darker throughout, with a purplish gloss. Expanse of wings 53-62 millim. 2 . Primaries with less arched costa, but more prominent subapical falcation ; secondaries slightly broader and shorter ; the belt very slightly paler than in the male. Expanse of wings 55 millim. Euwenzori, 5300, 5600, and 6000-8000 feet. It is just possible that this may prove to be the early seasonal form of J. sinuata, but the difference in the outline of the wings is so considerable that, for the present, it is absolutely necessary to regard it as distinct. It is much more likely that J. sinuata will prove to be the late seasonal form of J. kowara. 21. JUNONIA INFRACTA. Junonia infracta, Butler, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 63. d , Salt Lake to W a w a m b a country ; $ , Euwenzori, 5300 feet. The female is only slightly paler than the male, not of the black-and- white character of the typical example ; the later consignment, however, included worn white specimens from Mumia and Malamba, and the more tawny form from Malamba and Uganda. 22.

Papilio clelia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. xxi. E, F. (1779). Uganda. Only one much injured specimen was obtained. In my paper on Dr. Gregory's collection I record (P. Z. S. 1894, p. 562) " Junonia ethyra (or a nearly allied species)." The present collection again contains a worn example of the same form, which I a m now satisfied is distinct; I therefore describe it as new :- 24. JUNONIA GREGORII, sp. n. (Plate XLII. figs. 7, 8.) Nearly resembling J. ethyra in pattern and colouring, excepting that the external area of the primaries is much blacker, and that the ocelli on all the wings are much nearer to the outer margin; the under surface is more olivaceous, yellower, with scarcely a trace of the lilac scaling of J. ethyra; the transverse dark line of the secondaries commences with a bifid tapering yellow spot, as in |
