LARINOPODA Bull. 



5. L. melandeta sp. nov. <3\ Allied to L. libyssa and L. campwms. 

 Upperside: The upperside is white. The costa, the apex of the prima" 

 ries are broadly black. Underside: The underside is as the upperside, 

 but the black border of the primaries is interrupted by a subapical white 

 line. The black border is also on this wing much narrower at the outer 

 angle, which it does not quite reach. The secondaries have the black 

 margin of the outer border extended around the inner border, and the 

 outer border is divided near the anal angle by a narrow white line, and 

 separated from the black fringe by a white line, which is broader near the 

 outer angle and opposite the cell. Upon the cell there is a transverse 

 oval black spot, which fuses with another large, irregularly shaped black 

 spot, which is situated upon the middle of the costa. Expanse 30 mm.

6. A. propinquus sp. nov. $. Allied to A. orcas Dru., from which it 

 may be distinguished by the smaller amount of blue upon the upper sur- 

 face of the wings, and the different form of the silvery bands upon the 

 lower side of the wings. Upperside: The upperside is black with metallic- 

 blue spots and bands disposed as follows : On the primaries a short 

 longitudinal streak at the base of the cell, a transverse elongated spot at 

 the middle, and another at the end of the cell; beyond the cell, three 

 minute subapical spots and two other spots, one on either side of the 

 second median nervule in a line parallel to the outer margin. Below the 

 cell from the base toward the outer margin, the inner margin is broadly 

 laved with blue, interrupted by a black line upon the submedian nerve. 

 The secondaries have a large subtriangular blue spot extending from the 

 base below the cell toward the outer margin, which it does not reach, and 

 bounded inwardly by the anal fold, which is black. Underside: The un- 

 derside is rich maroon; the spots are as in orcas, except that the fourth 

 spot from the base of the primaries is divided in propinquus into two spots, 

 beyond the interspace between which there is a large spot; and upon the 

 secondaries the transverse median band, which is broad in orcas, is nar- 

 row and twice constricted in propinquus, and is followed toward the outer 

 margin by a third conspicuous transverse band or spot, located between 

 the third median and subcostal nervules. The fringe on both primaries 

 and secondaries is white checked with black at the ends of the nervules. 

 Expanse 32 mm.

7. L. musagetes sp. nov. rj\ Allied to L. li^nrcs Hew. Upperside: 

 The wings are uniformly dark purplish blue. Underside: The undersich 

 is a pale blackish brown with no markings whatever near the base of tin- 

 primaries and secondaries. The primaries have at the end of the cell a
