Genus NACADUBA Mooie. 



T4. N. ardates (Moore), Proe. Zool. Soc. Load. p. 574. t. 67. f. 1 (1874). 



The collection contains a number of males, of which all but one are of the 

 tailless form.

It is with some donbt that I refer two specimens in the collection to this 

 species. They are smaller than they ought to be to agree with the account of the 

 species given by Mr. H. H. Druce, and are darker bine on the npperside than 

 represented in his figure. 



76. N. ancyra (Felder), Reise Nocara, Lep. p. 276. t. 34. f. 5 (186.5). 

 A few males of this species. 



77. N. beroe (Felder), Reise Nomra, Lep. p. 275. t. 34. f. 36 (186.")). 



A large number of 7nales and three t^ot females, which I refer to this species. 



78. N. albofasciatus (liober), Iris I. p. 65. t. 4. f. 21. c? (1885). 

 Rober describes and figures the male. The collection before me contains no 

 male specimens, but two females, which agree so closely on the underside with the 

 figure given by Ruber that I am constrained to refer them to this species. They 

 are unlike any other insect in the genus known to me, and I believe my determination 

 to be correct. 



79. N. cladara sp. nov. 



cJ. The body is fuscous, more or less clothed with blue hairs on the npperside. 

 The thorax and legs are quite dark, the abdomen on the underside is pale grey. 

 The palpi are black. The antennae are black, slightly ringed with white on the 

 underside. Tiie wings on the npperside are pale morpho-blue, somewhat clouded 

 in certain lights with pale brown at the base. Both are margined with a fine black 

 line, and the i)rimaries are very lightly edged in addition with fuscous on the 

 margin, most noticeably near the apex. There is a minute black spot near the anal 

 angle. On the underside the wings are sordid brown, becoming darker toward the 

 base, where they are almost black. The primaries have a transverse band on the 

 middle of the cell produced beyond it as far as the first median nervnle, another 

 similar band closing the end of the cell, and beyond this running from the costa to 

 the submedian nerve a catenulate band bent outwardly opposite the cell. All of 

 these bands are margined with fine whitish lines, and are a shade darker than the 

 adjacent parts of the wing. In addition, there is on the primaries a double row 

 of marginal lunules, also bordered on either side by pale diffuse lines. The 

 secondaries on the underside are furnished with a subbasal curved series of spots 

 like those on the primaries, running from the costa to the inner margm. The 

 cell is closed by a fine whitish line, defined externally by a darker band of the 

 same length, which is followed by an irregularly curved series of dark markings, 

 the spots opposite the end of the cell being thrust outwardly and the pale lines
