(J. Wings, above. Forewing : median bar R- — W very thin, completely 



fused with bar D ; discal bars SC" — R' all heavy and fused together, the orange 

 patch iucluded between them and the median bars SC — R- smaller thau in 



lasti. Hindwiug: black postdisco-submargiual band not interrupted from C — M^, 



narrower thau in the sj)ecimens of hiiiti with a not interrupted band. 



Underside. Forewing : submedian, median, and postdiscal bars M' — M- 



black ; median bar R- — R^ touching bar D jiosteriorly. Hiudwing : submedian 



and median lines of bars more blackish than in lasti, the interspace between them 

 darker ; nervular lines and bars on abdominal fold more obvions than in lasti. 



Hnb. Senegambia : Casamanca 1 3 (type) in coll. Oberthtlr ; 'Z specimens in 

 the British Museum from the Hinterland of Sierra Leone. 



Mons. Chas. Oberthtir has kindly sent us a drawing of the type of boueti, which 

 is reproduced on Plate VIII. of Vol. VI. 



The differences between boueti and lasti may be purely individual, considering 

 that lasti is a very variable insect. We cannot find any constant difference between 

 the specimens from Nyassalaud and those from the coast region of German and 

 British East Africa. 



/<'. Cell-bar 'i of forewing below heavier than bar 4, narrowed in front, sub- 

 median and median bars M' — SM'' of forewing very heavy.
