leplaced by a very narrow interrupted baud ; the two spots at the end of the cell 

 have the same position as in caillanttna ; but the blackish baud, which in vaillantina 

 touches the second spot, is much more distal in dokerti/i, angled at R' and includes 



anteriorly an orange spot. A few orauge scales appear also posteriorly in the 



b:ind, from which we conclude that there exist possibly individuals which have 

 )i complete orange discal band. 



Hab. Escarpment, British E. Africa, September to October 1900, 6500 to 

 9000 ft. (W. Doherty), several specimens. 



E. vaiUaiitina was not met with by W. Doherty in that locality. 



The metallic green and blue tints do not come out well in the figure. 



AGAR I«TI DAE. 

 19. Immetalia eichtorni sp. uov, 



S ? . Body black, below with blue gloss, a complete white postorbital ring. 

 Forewing, above, with metallic blue scales in basal area, especially along SO and 

 SM'', forming a patch near the orange baud which crosses the wing from the middle 

 of the costal margin towards anal angle ; this band is slightly curved, narrower 

 behind, not in front, and does not quite reach the inner margin ; fringe white at 



apex of wing. Hindwing black ; fringe white down to SM-, with the shorter 



scales and some of the long ones black. 



t? without a scent-organ at abdominal margin of hindwing, the wing not dilated 

 to form a fold as in /. dolesclialli and allies. 



Length of forewing : 25 to 28 mm. 



Hab. Isabel, Solomon Islands, 4. vi. to 9. vii. 1901 (A. S. Meek), a series. 

 Named in honour of Mr. Meek's assistant, who is a careful and able collector. 



2u. Phalaenoides mutans (Pi. IX. f. 4. 6). 

 Described on p. 22<t of this volume. 



21. Asota nervosa sp. nov. 



S ? . Similar to .1. diana ; difl'ers as follows :— 



Black spot on mesothoracic tegula larger, those on the posterior abdominal 



aternites merged together to bands. Wings : forewing decidedly broader, tlie outer 



margin less oblique ; the arrow-head-shaped spot upon (SM') less concave basally, 

 preceded basally by a white (not a yellow) mark ; discal patch not halfmoon-shapcd, 

 but irregularly rounded, being broader and shorter than in diana ; SM^ and the 



veins on disc more or less white. Hindwing : black border rather broader at M". 



Underside— Forewing : base less extended yellow than in diana, discal patch 



smaller than above. Hindwing : costal margin black down to base, a narrow 



band jirojects from the costal border ending at R' ; outside this projection the 

 yellow area extends up to C, this sinns being about 3 to 4 ram. broad and becoming 

 whitish costad ; there is generally a black discal dot behind M-. 



Hab. Isabel, 4. vi. to 9. vii. 1901 (Messrs. Meek and Eichhorn), ?, S i (type), 

 1 ? ; Kulambangra, Rubiana (Eichhorn), a series. 



This species occurs together with diana ; the long series compared of both 

 leaves no doubt that nervosa is specifically distinct.
