edge of this area sharply defined and ijliito straif^ht, crossing cell iiroximally to M' ; 

 fuscons discal line strongly incurved before ahdominal margin. 



Anal tergite with a prominent tni)ercle dorsally at base. 



One (? from Singa, Blue Nile, July 29, 1909 (Captain S. S. Flower). 



li. Imbrasia cleoris sp. nov. 



<?. Head blackish chestnut; thorax above olivaceons chestnut; metanotum, 

 base of abdomen, and underside of thorax vinous red ; rest of upperside of abdomen 

 vinaceous tawny olive ; underside of abdomen dark chestnut ; tibiae and tarsi 

 olivaceons black. 



Wings, upperside, moss-brown, with a vinaceous tone; two rather thick black 

 lines cross both wings, an antemedian one from costal margin proximally to origin 

 of SC, almost straight across the wing, angulate at SC and in the inverse direction 

 again angulate at M-' ; on outer side this line bordered with pinkish white in 

 anterior half, this border disajipearing behind ; a nearly straight discal line 6 mm. 

 from ocellus and 12 mm. from outer margin before IP, narrowly edged with pinkish 

 white at discal side, this border widening at costal margin, no dark or light- 

 coloured line on inner side of this white one ; veins black on disc and beyond 

 discal line ; fringe blackish brown ; ocellus very small, ovate, transverse, consisting 

 of a vitreous centre, a yellow ring, and an ill-defined blackish ring; apex of wing 



less produced than in I. anthina Karsch (1893) ; no distinct snbmarginal patch. 



Hindwiug vinous red from base to discal line, slightly washed with tawny in 

 abdominal area; marginal area a little paler, more olive-tawny, than on forewing ; 

 antemedian line straight, oblique, angulate before abdominal margin ; discal line 

 nearly parallel to margin, 12 mm. from margin at R' and 7 mm. at SM-, rounded 

 excurved behind R' and very feebly incurved before abdominal margin ; the whitish 

 borders of the two lines not j)rominent ; ocellus small, consisting of a vitreous dot, 

 a cadmium-yellow iris, a black ring, and a reddish white ring ; outer margin nearly 

 evenly rounded, not elbowed ; fringe blackish brown. 



Underside vinaceous chocolate shaded over with pinkish grey ; a band of the 

 dark ground-colour runs across both wings, being placed on forewing just outside 

 the ocellus and on hindwing enclosing the ocellus, on forewing gradually widening 

 anteriorly and on both wings posteriorly almost touching the black discal line ; 

 this line is slightly curved a]>icad on forewing and is straight on hindwing, its 

 distance from margin is on forewing 9 mm. at SC'' and 10 mm. at M-, on hindwing 

 8 mm. at SC- and at SM- ; outside this line a band of the ground-colour and 

 another band of the same colour along margin, the two bands separated by a pinkish 

 grey band which is indented on distal side at the veins ; ocellus small on both 

 wings, consisting of a vitreous dot edged with yellow, transverse on forewing, round 

 on hindwing; basal area of forewing vinous red, esj)ecially below cell. 



Length of forewing : 58 mm. 



One i from the foothills of Bit. Mikeno, north of Lake Kivu, 1900—2400 m., 

 October 1907 (R. Grauer). 



Allied to I. anthina Karsch (1893) ; easily recognized by the outer margin of 

 the hindwing being almost evenly rounded, the absence of grey submarginal patches 

 from the upperside of the wings, and on the underside by the deep chocolate band 

 which runs on the forewing on the outer side of the ocellus and on the hindwing 

 across the ocellus.
