Show 1894.] FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 567 tative of A. acrita, from which it only differs in the absence of the broad apical black patch on the primaries; in well-marked examples all the spots (on the absence of which Dr. Staudinger relies) are well defined; one specimen even shows an additional spot on the subcostal area, nearer to apex. 48. ACRiEA NATALICA. Acrcea natalica, Boisduval, Voy. de Deleg. p. 590. n. 57 (1847). Ngatana, December and January. 49. ACRiEA MENIPPE. Papilio menippe, Drury, 111. Exot. Ent. iii. pi. 13. figs. 3, 4 (1782). One worn female from Ngatana. 50. ACRIEA ANEMOSA. Acrcea anemosa, Hewitson, Exot. Butt, iii., Acr. pi. 3. figs. 14,15 (1865). Two good specimens without labels of locality, but probably from the Sabaki Valley. 51. ACRIEA INSIGN1S. Acrcea insignis, Distant, P. Z. S. 1880, p. 184, pi. ix. fig. 4. N o exact locality ; probably Sabaki Valley. 52. PLANEMA MONTANA. S . Planema montana, Butler, P. Z. S. 1888, p. 91. 2 • Pattern of male, decidedly larger, the primaries to outer border of secondaries fuliginous ; the band of primaries and central area of secondaries white, interrupted by blackish veins; base of secondaries suffused with dull tawny buff, the black spots of the under surface showing through. Expanse of wings 82 millim. 2, Kibwezi. W e have received both sexes of this species from Kilimanjaro. 53. HYREUS JEQUATORIALIS. Lyccena cequatorialis, E. M . Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1891, p. 637, pi. xlviii. fig. 5. (51 2 J Summit of Mount Hohnel, 16,000 feet; Kenya and camp below the old ice-fall, 10,500 feet. Strictly speaking this species and H. webbianus hardly belong to Hyreus, as their hind wings are not tailed. The figure is taken from a somewhat abnormal specimen; most examples have the dark discal band toothed in the centre, the prominence emitted from the centre of the band and sometimes entirely dividing the white submarginal band ; this is the case with Dr. Gregory's pair of the species, and with several unset specimens shown to m e by Miss Sharpe. e 37* |
