 Octiiber l.sOo). 



Ill the twi> specimens before luc the oeelli on tlie liinilwiiig are four in 

 number, small and partly obliterated, but, as in all the species of Tenaris and the 

 allied genera the ocelli vary to an almost indefinite extent in both size and number 

 individually, this cannot be taken as a specific character. I think that it is quite 

 possible that, wlien tlie fauna of the high mountains of Ncvir Guinea has in future 

 become better known, we shall find connecting links between M. schonhergi and 

 .1/. nivescens, but at present I know of no snch links, and I therefore am bound to 

 treat M. nh-i'smis as a distinct species. The two females I have are quite as large 

 as the largest /6/«cffe of J/, schdnheri/i I have seen. 



<i. Canerkes natunensis Rothsch. sp. nov. 



?. Differs from C. euschemoide.^ Moore and ^'ae-aw/c-^s Rothsch., Nov. Zooi.. III. 

 p. 56 (1896), in the ground-colour of the forewing above being clove-browu, with a 

 faint bluish green tint in side light and without metallic gloss, in the base of the 

 wing having two separate yellow spots, in the dark violet area of the hindwings 

 being more extended, and in the crown of the head being metallic green-blue 

 without yellow colour. 



The spots on the forewing are smaller than in jamiikm Rothsch. ; the median 

 band does, as in that insect, reach from costal margin to vein P, is well separated 

 from the basal yellow spots, and is incised at the veins. The white sjiot between 

 veins 2 and 3 is wanting, while it is present in the two allied species. 



On the hindwing the violet area reaches 3 mm. down the apex of cell ; the 

 yellow spot at anterior angle of cell stands 2 mm. away from the yellow basal area ; 

 the yellow streak before vein 1'' is separated into a discal streak and a marginal spot ; 

 there is no yellow marginal spot before vein 3, and the spot before and that 

 behind vein 2 are small. 



The colour of the underside agrees with that of euscheinoides, but the costal 

 region of hindwings near ajiex of cell is bright metallic blue. There is no black 

 basal patch in cell.

Of this insect I recently received another specimen, which agrees witli that 

 mentioned under Aqape on p, 60 of this volume, and now no longer hesitate to 

 describe it as a subsjiecies of leonina (Butl,), 



As said on p. (iO, this form differs from leoniwi esjjecially in its smaller size, the 

 total absence of thoracic sjtots, and in the two last abdominal segments * having a 

 bluish black patch on the upperside ; the patch on the preanal segment is twice as 

 large as that on the anal one.
