the general rednetion in size and somewhat different arrangement of spots on 

 underside. 



1 have much pleasure in dedicating this species to BIr. H. H. Druce, who 

 has heen kind enough to give me his opinion upon it. 



~3. Lycaenesthes hobleyi spec. nov. 



S- Upperside : dull glossy purple. Black margins. Fringe buff-coloured. 

 At anal angle of hindwing trace of two black eye-spots. 



Underside : pale grey brown with transverse striae of the same colour, 

 red-edged on both sides, narrowly edged again with jialer brown ; all striae 



rather narrow. Forewiug : a terminal .discocellular stria. A discal stria from 



subcostal nervure to submedian nervure, broken at second median nervule into 

 two very unequal portions, the lower one being markedly nearer the base of the 

 wing. A narrow submarginal streak of a slightly darker brown than ground- 

 colour follows course of distal margin. Base of costa and distal margin very 



narrowly orange-red. Hindwing : terminal discocellular, and discal striae as 



on forewiug. Discal stria reaches to inner margin. A subcostal red spot faintly 

 outlined with a paler brown than ground-colour above cell near middle. A 

 similar spot within cell upon median nervure. A smaller red spot on inner 

 margin near base. Dark submarginal streak and narrow orange-red line on 

 distal margin as on forewiug. 



At anal angle two eye-spots, inwardly red, outwardly black, dotted with 

 glistening blue scales. Two short brownish tails. 



E.xpaase, 27 mm. 



2 <?(?, no locality, but presumably east or north-east of Victoria Nyanza ; 

 collected by Mr. Hobley and lent me by Mr. Roland Trimen. 



Apparently not very nearly allied to any known species, but resembles 

 L. liyares Hew. in distribution of markings. 



24. Catochrysops nandensis spec. uov. (PI. I. f. 12). 



(J. Upperside : dusky brown with glossy blue shading. On distal margin of 

 forewiug five eye-spots. All these rather indefinite except one between first 

 and second median nervules which is black inwardly marked with bright orange. 

 A trace of orange on spot immediately above it. Fringe white with patches of 

 dusky brown at extremity of nervules. 



Underside : pale brown with slightly darker transverse striae clearly edged 



with white on both sides. Forewiug : a terminal discocellular stria. A row 



of six discal striae from subcostal to submedian nervure. Between discal row 

 and distal margin two parallel rows of seven white marks the shape of arrow-heads 

 internervnlar in jiosition. Distal marginal border linear and a slightly darker 

 brown than ground-colour, inwardly accompanied b}' seven narrow internervnlar 



white streaks. Hindwing has terminal discocellular and discal striae as in 



forewiug, the latter more irregular in shape. The following black spots 

 surrounded by clear white rings : two beneath costa ; one within cell about 

 middle, touching median nervure ; two on inner margin. Other markings as
