the apex of the anterior and the gronnd-colour of the posterior wings are much more 

 rufous; the basal tliree-fourths of the posterior wings is paler than the outer 

 fourth, and the irregular band which crosses their middle is narrower.

13. Iris ansorgei sji. nov. 



Uppet-side : closely resembles /. perdita Kirliy, but on the jjosterior wings 

 the jiurplc area is diviiled at the end of the cell by a black streak, extending partially 

 down the discocellnlar nervules. 



Underside: differs from /. perdita on the anterior wings in having a pale 

 grey spot in the cell and being less rufons at the apes, the metallic edging of which 

 is not green but slightly metallic silvery grey. Posterior wings are very much 

 more grey, the central band being metallic silvery grey edged with dark rufous 

 markings; a dark submargiual rufous area, followed by a row of contiguous silvery 

 grey Innnles on the margin. In coloration the underside approaches /. incredibilis.

14. Epitola elissa sp. nov. 



Upperside : both wings dull greyish black, centred with dull blue, the veins 

 crossing the blue area black. On the anterior wings the blue area extends over the 

 lower part of the cell, a little beyond and above the cell and the lower three-fourths 

 of tlie disc to the inner margin; crossing the bine area of the cell are two black 

 spots, and a large black spot on the discocellnlar nervules. On the posterior wings 

 the blue area does not extend so closely to the costal and outer margins as in 

 E. catuna Kirby. 



Underside .• greyish brown. Anterior wing.s with the disc crossed abimt its 

 middle by two obscure irregular grey lines, and a few obscure streaks beyond; the 

 disc of the posterior wings is similarly crossed by two irregular lines following the 

 contour of the outer margin, with traces of a third before the outer margin. 



Expanse of wings : finches.

Nearest to E. catuna, biit the wings are broader; the blue area on the anterior 

 wings of E. catuna does not extend to the inner margin, and is more purj)le in 

 colour. 



15. Larinopoda latimarginata sj). nov. 



Upperside : differs from L. caripcs Kirby in the much greater width of the 

 outer-marginal greyish brown border on both sides of both wings, especially on the 

 posterior wings, where the dark border is three times as wide as in L. raripes. 



On the Underside of the posterior wings the black spot towards the end of 

 the cell of L. varipes is absent, and tlie subajiical spot merges in tlic dark 

 outer baud. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inches.
