(= lycoides Bdv.) (57 b). Spots in cellules 1b and 3 of the forewing distinct; the dark basal area on the upperside of the hindwing reaches vein 2; under surface with the ground-colour yellow; median band of the hindwing sulphur-yellow. Cameroons to Angola. orientis Auriv. (57 c). Ground-colour of the upper surface deeper black, of the under grey-yellow; the spots in 1b and 3 of the forewing are absent or indistinct and small, the others with distinct white scaling; dark basal area of the hindwing above small, not reaching vein 2. Hindwing beneath with two black dots in the cell and two in cellule 7. German East Africa. Strand has named the following trifling aberrations of this race: ab. depunctella Strand. Hindwing without black dots in the cell and with 1 or 2 in cellule 7. German East Africa, ab. unipunctella Strand. One dot in the cell and 2 in cellule 7 of the hindwing. German East Africa, ab. semipunctella Strand. One dot in the cell and one in cellule 7 of the hindwing. German East Africa, ab. transienda Strand only differs from semipunctella in having the light spots in cellules 1b and 3 of the forewing more distinct. German East Africa. rhodina Rothsch. (= subochreata Grunb.) [ now Acraea pharsalus rhodina ] (60 d) has the ground-colour of the under surface red-brown, but otherwise agrees with the type-form. Uganda and Abyssinia. female ab. rubra Eltr. (60 d) differs from all the other forms of this species in having the median band on the upperside of the hindwing narrower and red; the marginal band of the hindwing as broad as the median band or somewhat broader; fore wing spotted as in orientis. Gaboon and Angola. limonata Eltr. Only males known; they differ from the type-form in having the light spots in cellules 1 b and 2 on the upperside of the forewing scaled with lemon-yellow instead of transparent. Fernando Po. tenebrosa Eltr. Under surface as in rhodina, only somewhat darker; forewing as in orientis; the median band of the hindwing reaches neither the
