Hab. Patsho, Nandi country, December 1896 (Dr. Ansor^e). 



In shape it resembles M. elinnns Hew. 



10. Mycalesis fluviatilis sp. no v. 



Male. — Uppersidc : dark brown, with an indication of a paler submarginal line 

 oa the posterior wings. 



Underside : both wings with the basal half darker brown than the outer half 

 On the anterior wings the outer edge of the dark area which crosses the wings 

 transversely is very undulated, aud is bordered outwardly by a paler fulvous streak, 

 which widens on the upper part of tiie wings and extends over the apical area ; 

 towards the apex, in a paler area, are two contiguous ocelli, of which the upper is 

 the larger and is surrounded by a fulvous ring ; two snbmargiual sinuate narrow 

 fulvous lines, brightest in the middle ; oue large ocellus is situate between the two 

 lowest median uervules, surrounded by a pale ring. On the posterior wings the 

 outer edge of the basal dark area is also very sinuate, edged internally by darker 

 brown, with an indistinct sinuate line nearer the base ; a row of seven ocelli crosses 

 the disc, of which the third from the anal angle and the seventh are the largest, 

 and the intervening ocelli are the least distinct ; the ocelli are surrounded liy 

 jtale brown rings; two submarginal sinnate narrow brown lines, the inner of which 

 is the brightest. The outer margins of both wings are rather deeply indented. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inches.

Near to M. dubia Auriv. 



11. Liptena rothi sp. uov. 



Male. — Uppciside : closely resembles L. acraea Doubl. & Hew., but on the 

 anterior wings the broad costal black band which in L. acraea only partially per- 

 vades the cell completely fills it, and at the base extends rather broadly to the inner 

 margin. On the posterior wings the outer-marginal black band is rather narrower. 



Underside : on the anterior wiugs the black liars crossing the cell extend 

 broadly to the median nervure, aud the dusky sjiot on the upper median nervule of 

 L. acraea is absent. On the posterior wings the inner of the two rows of wldtc 

 spots in the outer-marginal black band extends round the wings. 



Female. — Upperside : closely resembles the 7nale, but is paler; the upper 

 part of the pale rufous band becomes wider and more incurved towards the costa, 

 along which it partially aud narrowly extends; towards the end of the cell is an 

 irregular narrow rufous streak placed horizontally. 



Expanse of wings : c? 7|, ? 2 inches.

12. Iris exquisita sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : most lirilliaul metallic purplish hlue, with the costa and 

 apex of anterior wings broadly and outer margin more narrowly black; the costal 

 aud outer margins of posterior wings narrowly black. 



Utidersidc : resembles /. incredihilis Stand., but the pule markings on the 

 anterior wings are more obscure, the whitish bar at the end of the cell being absent;
