[A BRIEF NOTE ON A FEW ENTOMOLOGICAL SPECIMENS BROUGHT FROM THE SUDAN,
22nd September 1898.]
I have handed over my small collection of insects to Professor Poulton, F.R.S., of Oxford, who has had them set, and has kindly supplied me with materials for the following list, which may possibly be of some interest to any reader interested in Entomology.
Butterflies.
Three specimens of Limnas Chrysippus, a Danaine butterfly, found over all the warmer parts of the Old World. Of these three butterflies, one is the brown type form (Wad Hamed); one the Alcippus or Alcippoides variety, with white hind wings (Wad Hamed); one an Alcippoides, with much less white (near Kerreri).
Three specimens of Belenois mesentina. Two males (Zeidab and Wad Hamed) are typical. The female (near Pyramids of Meroe) is darker than usual. The specimen in the Hope Collection nearest to it comes from Somaliland.
One Teracolus. Very like T. auxo. The specimen is a male, small and white, with orange tip to the fore wing (near Pyramids of Meroe).
Three very small species of Lycænidæ. Two males and two females (two, Kerreri; two, Rojan Island).
Moths.
Noctuæ.—One Grammodes stolida (Battlefield of Omdurman), exactly like the Hope Specimens from India.
