Leuciacria gen. uov. 



cJ. First segment of palpus longer than second, this longer than third. Club 

 of antenna short, broad, abrnjit, sensory grooves extending from base to aj)ex of 

 segments. Apex of forewing somewhat projecting, the distal margin being concave 

 beneath it and then convex, four subcnstals ; SC and SC" from cell, SC absent, 

 >SC' and SC'' on a long stalk, S(J' branching otf close to apex of wing, IV from 

 before middle of SC**, R' well below uj)per angle of cell, D'- being rather more than 

 one-third the length of D^, the latter obtnsel}' angnlate below middle, M'- at middle 

 of cell, M' rather closer to apex of cell than to M-. Hiudwing straight proximally 

 at costal margin, the basal lobe very distinct, SC- branching off at two-third.s from 

 base to R', D' being nearly twice the length of D", the latter oblit[ue, a little over 

 one-third of D', this angnlate at one-third, D^ over one-half of distal section of M. 

 Clasper of t? with sharp apical hook curved inwards. 



Type : L. acuta spec. nov. 



Nearest to that group of " I'ieris " to which belongs the African P. ijiyea 

 Boisd. (1836). In shape resembling a little the larger forms of Elodiiia. 



14. Leuciacria acuta spec. nov. 



<?. Head, pronotum and hairs of palt)us olive-black, meso-metanotum and 

 proximal tergites of abdomen greyish black, if viewed from behind, greyish white 

 in frontal view. 



"Wings, upperside, chalky white, extreme base of forewing, a streak along costal 

 edge to near middle, an apical distal border extending down to M', tapering to a 

 point behind, its proximal edge curved, crossing R' in or near middle, and a small 

 basal central patch on hindwing black. 



I'mlersule glossy. Forewing white, slightly washed with yellow, distal 



marginal band vestigial or absent. Hindwing white, distinctly purplish, slightly 



washed with yellow, a trace of a iinrjile band from base of M' to SM' ; costal edge 

 bright yellow at base, this streak gradually vanishing distally, limited by (). 



Length of forewing : 'M to ^-1 mm.

tJ. /). a. Uothschild, Xoc. ZwA. xi. p. 31.S. n. IX. t. 1. f. i\ (,19i)4) (Owg-arra ; wm ? ). 



The ? which we described and figured together with ;the cJ does not belong to 

 this species. Mr. Meek has now sent a series of ? ? which agree in the markings 

 of the underside with the i of amabilis and are doubtless the true ¥ ? of the 

 same. No c? c? have come with these ? ? . 



On the uppemide, the forewing is brownish clay-colour at base, pale ochrcons 

 yellow in middle and black in apical two-fifths, the black colour extending along 

 distal margin to hinder angle, being about 3 mm. wide at W. The hiudwing is 

 brownish clay, with an ochraccous i)atch at costal margin, and the usual brownish 

 black submurgiual spots. On the underside the forewing is creamy buff in middle, 

 a line running from inner edge of chocolate distal area into the creamy area, the 

 line terminating at M''.
