The specimens of this species were so much damaged as to be only just recognizable. 68. MYLOTHRIS CROCEUS, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 1.) d. Saffron-yellow; costal edge of primaries and a series of seven decreasing marginal spots from second subcostal branch to first median branch, also a scarcely perceptible dot at extremity of submedian vein, black; secondaries with seven black spots at the extremities of the veins; abdominal fold pale yellow, whitish at base • body black, clothed with greenish-grey hairs : wings paler on under surface, the secondaries and apex of primaries somewhat creamy; black marginal spots smaller than above; body below white; tibiae and tarsi partly black. Expanse of wings 60-64 millim. Salt Lake to W a w a m b a and Euwenzori, 5000-8000 feet. I know of no species nearly allied to this. 69. NYCHITONA SYLVICOLA. Leucophasia sylvicola, Boisduval, Faune Ent. Madag. p. 20 (1833). Euwenzori, 5300-8000 feet; Salt Lake to Wawamba; Kampala and Uganda. The series of this species, although somewhat worn, is interesting as forming a perfect transition from N. sylvicola to N. nupta; the latter is thus proved to be a mere sport of the former. 70.
