Lake Mweru; Zomba, July and December 1892, January 1893. 38. JUNONIA CALESCENS, sp. n. Precis octavia, Staudinger, Exot. Schmett. pi. 38. fig. 4. omba, July 1892. This species is commonly regarded as a variety of J. octavia, but there is not a particle of evidence in support of this opinion ; in the present collection it is common and constant enough to justify its separation from Cramer's species. It differs as follows:- It is considerably larger (60-65 millim. in expanse), is of a bright rosy red colour, paler in the centre of the disk; all the black markings are less heavy in character, the bar at end of cell in primaries isolated, whereas in J. octavia it forms part of a broader and angular band which crosses the wing, and the marginal lunules on the under surface are bluish, instead of chalk-white. It is a constant local representative of C. octavia, which does not occur in the present collection. 39. JUNONIA ELGIYA. Junonia elgiva, Hewitson, Exot. Butt, iii., Jun. pi. 1. fig. 1 (1864).
