Show 110 DR. A. G. BUTLER ON BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 14, Kondowi, Lower Nyika, April 6th and 11th, 1895. This species is new to the Museum series; two examples were obtained, one in very good condition, the other somewhat worn. Mr. Crawshay calls it the " Black-and-white Glade Butterfly." 7. CHARAXES DRUCEANUS. Charaxes druceanus, Butler, Cist. Ent. i. p. 4 (Oct. 1869); Lep. Exot. p. 26, pi. x. fig. 4. 3, Nyankowa Mt., 5575 feet alt., Nyika, April 10th, 1895. The single specimen obtained is the most perfect I have ever seen, but its chief interest lies in the fact that the markings on the under surface of the wings are somewhat aberrant; the differences, if constant, would serve to distinguish it as a species, but the female received from Zomba shows transitional characters. Mr. Crawshay notes this as the " Burnt-umber and Silver Swallowtail," but it is one of the " Emperor " group. 8. JUNONIA SESAMUS. Precis sesamus, Trimen, South Afr. Butt. i. p. 231, pi. iv. fig.
