Show 1894.] MANICA, SOUTH-EAST AFRICA. 19 characterized by having all the spots of the fore wings white the underside paler and browner. These examples are small (exp. al. S 2 in. 9 lin., $ 3 in.) ; and the male has the fore wings decidedly less elongated apically than usual, while the ochry-yellow band of the hind wings is in both sexes paler and rather narrower. Judging from the brief description (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 91), I should refer to this variety of A. echeria the A. .hanning-tonii of Butler, from Terta near Kilima-njaro. I also consider that A. jacksoni, E. M. Sharpe (op. cit. 1891, p. 633, pi. xlviii. fig. 2), from Sotik, Kavirondo, is inseparable from the same variety, only differing in the reproduction on the upperside of a good many more of the hind-marginal and submarginal spots of both wings always present on the underside. 3. AMAURIS OCHLEA (Boisd.). Euplcea ochlea, Boisd. App. Voy. de Deleg. dans l'Afr. Aust. p. 589 (1847). Six examples captured in the Pungwe Eiver present no variation from the Natalian type-form. 4. AMAURIS DOMINICANUS, Trim. Amauris dominicanus, Trim. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 323. Three specimens from Pungwe Eiver quite agree with extra-tropical examples. Mr. Selous noted a good many of this conspicuous species settling on bushes among large trees in a shady ravine. Subfamily SATYRIN^E. Genus VPTHIMA, Westw. 5. Y P T H I M A ASTEROPE, Klug. A male (Christmas Pass) and a female (Mineni Valley) are above the usual size and paler ; in these respects, in the distinctness of the common submarginal dark streak, and in the well-defined pale space round the outlines of the fore wings they approach those brought from Tropical S.W. Africa by Mr. Eriksson ; but as regards the underside, the minute striolation of both wings and the ocelli of the hind wings are much better developed and approximate these two examples to the smaller specimens received from Natal and Zululand. 6. YPTHIMA ITONIA, Hewits. Ypthima itonia, Hewits. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 3rd ser. ii. p. 287, pi. 18. fig. 13 (1865). There are four males of this distinct species-three from Christmas Pass and one from Mineni Valley. In the hind wings the minute subapical and inferior anal-angular ocelli are wanting on the upperside, and in two examples the first and third in the 2* |
