Show 1895.] FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 731 later series specimens of typical A. sganzini and of my variety recorded as taken at Ngurugaui and Uganda, and the latter and A. lycia (typical) from Athi plains, 5000-6000 feet. 48. ACRCEA ITURINA ? Acrcea iturina, Grose Smith, P. Z. S. 1890, p. 465. d , Euwenzori, 6000-8000 feet; " Kivata," in May. I rather doubt tbe distinctness of our examples from A. orestia; but possibly the type of A. iturina may be quite another species, though nearly allied. 49. ACRCEA QUIRINA. Papilio quirina, Fabricius, Spec. Ins. ii. p. 36 (1781). Kampala and Uganda, Feb. 1894. 50. ACR^A PSEUDEGINA, aberr. Acrcea pseudegina, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 531 (1852). Salt Lake to Wawamba. A single somewhat worn male ; it differs from the typical form above in the total absence of the pale subapical spots of the primaries and of the dusky border and several of the central spots of the secondaries ; on the under surface there is a trace of the first loop of the submarginal black line at anal angle; the spot above the upper discocellular vein is wanting, and one or two of the spots on the inner area are very slightly displaced, but not more than is often the case in varieties of a species. 51. ACRCEA PHARSALUS. Acrcea pharsalus, Ward, Ent. Monthl. Mag. viii. p. 81 (1871) ; Afr. Lep. i. p. 8, pi. vi. figs. 7, 8 (1873). o* d, Uganda.
