commences on the cost a and ends on the second median nervule ; 

 No. 4 also broken and curved, commences on the costa and ends on 

 the third median nervule. Hindwing crossed by the usual basal 

 lines ; a large round black spot on the margin in the first median 

 interspace, narrowly crowned with dull orange, and bearing a few 

 metallic blue scales on the edge nearest the anal angle ; the anal 

 angle bears two minute clumps of metallic blue scales. 



L. latimargus is probably the largest species in the genus, the 

 above described specimen measuring 45 mm., though Herr Snellen 

 gives only 25 — 38 mm. for the specimens he described. The breadth 

 of the outer black border to both wings on the upperside is also a 

 very noticeable feature. It comes into the group of the genus 

 which is represented in my collection by 



1. L. eljris, Godart. 



2. L. kdnkena, Felder [L. insularis, Rober, is a synonym 



of this species). 



3. L. kpndulana, Felder (L. ccerulea, Druce, is probably a 



synonym of this species) . 



4. L. latimargus, Snellen. 



5. L. caUistus, Rober. 



6. L. bochides, de Niceville. 



In all these species the characteristic strigss are similarly arranged, 

 and are as described above. 



In the next group represented in my collection by 



1. L. suidas, Felder. 



2. L. pseudelpis, Butler. 



3. L. corilscans, Moore. 



4. L. philatus, Snellen. 



5. L. subdita, Moore. 



6. L. osias, Rober. 



the characteristic striga3 instead of being continuous throughout 

 their course are arranged as follows : — Nos. 1 and 2 are short, and 

 extend from the subcostal nervure to the third median nervule only, 

 while JNos. 3 and 4 are long, and reach from the subcostal to the 

 submedian nervure, but that portion of each of these striga3 posterior 

 to the second median nervule is dislocated and shifted inwards 

 towards the base of the wing, so that the lower portion of No. 3
