 22. Lycaenesthes liparis sp. nov. 



Upperside : dull brown. Antcrioi- wiugs slightly convex nn tin- unlitr margin, 

 with a triangular pale fulvous patch on the disc in the angle formed by the juuction 

 of the two lowest median nervnles with the median nervure. Posterior wings with 

 a submarginal rather elongate grey lunnle before the anal angle, followed by a 

 triangular spot indistinctly crowned with orange; a narrow white line extends along 

 the outer margin. 



Underside: differs little from />. lachares. Possibly it maybe i\ie. female o^ 

 this species. 



J]xpanse of wings : 1^ inches.

23. Lycaenesthes locuples sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside -. dark brown. Anterior wings with a transverse broad 

 bright orange patch on the disc, commencing on the upper discoidal nervule, extend- 

 ing into the cell and to the inner margin ; the orange patch does not extend so 

 closely to the apex or so near the base below the cell as in L. mahota Grose Smith ; 

 there is a black streak in the orange patch at the end of the cell. The disc of the 

 posterior wings is also centred by a bright orange patch, tritid outwardly on the 

 median nervules ; this patcli is more restricted in size than in /.. vuihota. 



Underside : both wings pale orange. Anterior wings with a basal dark streak 

 in the cell, a second crossing it and expanding very broadly below it towards the 

 base and inner margin, a third streak at the end of the cell, beyond which from the 

 costal margin to the lowest median nervule is a curved band closely followed by a 

 shorter and narrower one ; two submarginal bands, of which the inner is much the 

 wider, the outer being linear; the disc is crossed, between the lowest median nervule 

 and the submedian nervure, by a short somewhat lunulate band. Posterior wings 

 with a subbasal dark band, another crossing the cell to the inner margin, and a 

 third at the end of the cell; all three bands commence on the costal nervure. Across 

 the disc are two large spots near the costa underneath each other, followed by a 

 straight row of smaller nearly contiguous spots, and two broad elongate s])ots towards 

 the inner margin nearly touching each other and forming a wide V-shaped marking; 

 a rather broad submarginal band of contiguous spots, those towards the aj)ex the 

 largest, outside which towards the anal angle are two black luuules dusted with 

 metallic scales and crowned with orange. 



E.xpanse of wings : ]| inches. 



Hab. Warri, Fel)ruary 1896 (Dr. Roth). 



On the upperSide this sj)ecies bears a strong resemblance to /.. makota and 

 L. dewitzi, but beneath it is quite distinct. 



24. Everes kedonga s]i. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: anterior wings liluish grey, with silvery white veins ; outer 

 margin narrowly darker grey. Posterior wiugs pale silvery blue, with a submarginal 

 row of round black sj)ots of uniform size, except at the anal angle, where there arc 

 two small dots ; the outer edge of the sjiots is narrowly white, and the outer margin 

 is narrowly dark grey; one slender black tail. 



Underside : grey. Anterior wings with discal and subbasal sjiols arranged
