median nervules. The usual markings appear obscurely in the cell. The 

 posterior wings are ornamented by a submarginal band of obscure ocelli 

 running parallel to the outer margin. These spots are lighter than the rest 

 of the wing and ringed about with dark brown, and have in the centre 

 dark brown subhastate pupils. Underside. — The underside is obscurely 

 brownish-grey. The markings of the upperside reappear, and on the 

 underside of the secondaries the submarginal band of ocelli is indicated 

 by a series of minute white spots located on the inner edge of each ocellus. 

 There are seven of these minute white spots on each secondary. The base 

 of the secondaries has a few obscure markings characteristic of the genus, 

 the most prominent of which is an annular mark in the middle of the 

 cell. 



Expanse of wings 68 mm. Habitat Kangwe, Ogove Valley. 



I hesitated to describe this species from the solitary 9 specimen, but 

 it is wholly unlike the female of any species known to me, and does not 

 exist in any of the English collections which I have consulted, and was 

 pronounced by Mons. Mabille, to whom I showed it, as undoubtedly a 

 new species. It comes nearest to A. aridatha, of Hewitson, but it is 

 totally distinct, being much larger and quite differently coloured, and the 

 subapical band of the primaries having an altogether different form.

4. E. imitaus, sp. nov. 



o*. Very closely allied to E. Eusemoides recently described by Smith 

 & Kirby, but readily distinguished from that species by the fact that the 

 yellow spots on the middle of the primaries are not widely separated as 

 in Eusemoides, and that the base of the primaries is adorned by a num- 

 ber of blue spots, and that along the inner margin of the primaries there 

 is a long yellow streak. The secondaries have a yellow spot on the base 

 and three black spots in the cell, and the broad black border is interrupted 

 by a marginal series of obscure geminate blue spots. The underside has 

 a spot at the base of the secondaries pupilled with yellow, in addition to 

 the spots which appear upon the underside of E. Eusemoides. 



9 . The female is like the male, but much larger, and the marginal 

 blue spots upon the upperside of the secondaries are brighter and larger. 



Expanse <* , 58 mm.; $, 85 mm. Habitat Talaguga, Upper Valley

Represented in the collection of the author by two males and one 

 female. It is a very close mimic of Xanthospilopteryx longipennis, and 

 even more so of a species of this genus in the collection of the writer 

 which has not yet been named.
