21. Cyclyrius aequatorialis iSluirpc ; and 'S2. C. sharpiae Btl. 



There is a fairly long series of these species, which are, I believe, one and 

 the same ; the white baud of the underside of the secondary is sometimes inter- 

 sected and sometimes entire, while there are many sjjecimeus in various grades 

 of connecting forms. 



23. Lycaena sichela Wllgr. 

 One specimen only. 



24. Lycaena malathana Boisd. 

 Rare ; only four specimens. 



25. Lycaena dolorosus Trimeu. 



Not uncommon ; with more white ou the uudersurface of the secondaries 

 than usual. 



26. Lycaena cnejus. 

 One tyjjical specimen. 



27. Lycaena pulchristriata spec. nov. 



c?. Paljji blackish, fringed below with long white hairs ; and at the tip of 

 the second segment, in addition to the white, are a quantity of longer fine 

 blackish hairs as well ; end segment not fringed, white-tijiped ; antennae 

 reticidated, white and black ; clnb blackish, white-tipped ; face white with dark 

 centre ; abdomen dark with marked bluish ira,le grey segmental divisions. 

 Primary brownish grey, with a very restricted pale violet-blue basal suffusion ; 

 all the veins stand out broadly pale bluish grey, those above vein 4 being narrower 

 and greyish white ; cilia dark grey, paler for the outer half. Secondary pale, 

 slightly silvery violet-blue, with a terminal row of largish black spots ; termen 

 whitish, finely edged externally with black ; cilia dark, outer half pale whitish 

 grey ; tail fine black tipped with white. 



Uudersurface : Both wings brownish ashy grey with black spots encircled with 

 white. Primary with a short black dash at the extreme base and two spots 

 in the cell — a round one in the middle, a long one closing the end of the cell, 

 below the former below vein 2 another spot rather nearer the base ; the post- 

 medial row consists of six spots distinctly fractured below the fourth, the fifth 

 and sixth being shifted basewards immediately below the spot closing the cell : 

 beyond this row is a band of white-edged black confluent lunules followed in 

 the white terminal area by a row of subterminal oval blackish spots. Secondary 

 with a black spot at the extreme base of the cell, followed below by one ou the 

 inner margin ; two spots in the cell as in the primary ; above the first spot is a 

 second near the costa, postmedial row consisting of eight irregnlar spots, the 

 first two distinct, the lower of which is shifted slightly outwards, spots 3, 4, and o 

 curved almost confluent shifted farther out, but with the lower spot curved 

 inwards to near the spot closing the cell, sixth spot shifted right inwards well 

 below that spot, seventh spot shifted right outwards, and eighth right inwards, 

 outside this row, but following closely its course is a broad irregular orange
