I'J. Durbania micra sp. uov. 



Male. — i'pperside : orange-tawny, less bright than in 7'. ^cn/a Kirby, iind 

 more uniform in colour. Anterior wings with a rather narrow elongate brown patch 

 extending from the apex about one-fourth along the costa. 



L'lulerside : with a series of indistinct brown markings on the costa from the 

 base to near the apex, some of which partially cross the cell, and a series of indistinct 

 submarginal lines. Posterior wings with a series of irregularly formed spots and 

 bars, centred with the paler gronnd-colour, which extend over the basal two-thirds of 

 the wings, and a submarginal row of Innnlate brown lines. 



Femalk. — Uppei-side : brighter than in the male, with a dark brown band at the 

 apex, whore it is broadest, and gradually narrowing along the outer margin to tlic 

 outer angle ; several indistinct brown markings on the costa towards the base, one 

 of which extends over the discoccllular uervules, and that farthest from the base 

 over the discoidal nervules. 



Undi-rside : with the brown markings more strongly developed than in the 

 male. 



Expanse of wings : J inch. 



Ihb. River Tana, British East Africa (Dr. Ansorge). 



It is smaller than the T. gerda. Possibly the specimen I have described as the 

 J'emalo may be a distinct s])ecies. 



20. Pseuderesia picta sp. nov. 



Male. — Uppenide : resembles Pseuderi'sia catlmrina But]., but on the 

 anterior wings the large suboval dark orange patch on the disc of the latter is 

 represented by a rectangular band placed rather obliquely, whicli terminates on the 

 lowest median nervule, and there is no orange spot at the end of the cell. 



L'tideisidc : anterior wings are much darker, without the costal and sulimarginal 

 pale areas, and the cellular and discal red bands which cross the upper part of the 

 wings of Ps. catkarina are narrower and more obscure. On the posterior wings 

 the ground-colour is more regularly irroratcd with red, without silvery grey in the 

 s])acc outside the discal scries of spots. 



Expanse of wings : 1^ inches. 



Ilab. Warri, May 1800 (Ur. Roth). 



~1. Lycaenesthes lycotas sp. nov. 



Upperxide : anterior wings dark brown, with a large i)alc orange spot extending 

 over the two lowest mediau nervules and tlio middle of the disc to the submedian 

 nervure; this spot is rounder and broader than in L. lackares Hew. Posterior wings 

 with a row of four bluish grey luuules in the middle of the disc, outside which are 

 two submarginal narrow grey lines; an obscure black spot between the two lowest 

 median nervules near the margin, narrowly crowned with orange. 



Uiulcrside : white, with dark bars and markings as in Jj. lackares, but much 

 broader and more strongly marked, the dark bar which crosses the cell about the 

 middle becoming very broad below the cell and extending nearly to the base. On 

 the posterior wings towards the anal angle are three submarginal black sjiots, dusted 

 with metallic scales, crowned, except the middle spot, with orange. 



Expanse of wings : 1 ^ inches.
