Abstract

The present paper deals with the description of a new species of Euphaedra (Euphaedrana) (Limenitidinae) of the “preussi-group” from northern Angola, and of a new subspecies of Acraea (Acraea) violarum Boisduval, 1847 (Heliconiinae) of the “violarum-group”, from the western and central area of the country; they are compared with the most similar known taxa.
