together at extremities and forming a crescent. Beyond these lines is 

 a series of irregular dark shades, produced along the nervules, and bor- 

 dei-ed externally by light fulvous ; these are followed by a series of sub- 

 apical dark marks and a submarginal row of dark spots, of which the 

 three nearest the apex are the darkest. Secondaries with two annular 

 marks in cell, the uppermost the largest, and an elongated, oval mark 

 at end of cell. Internal margin clothed with long brown hairs ; anal 

 groove pale straw-color. Head and thorax olive-brown, abdomen 

 rufous. Underside of primaries at apex and on cell lilacine white. 

 The remainder of the primaries broadly rufous brown, lighter toward 

 inner angle. The spots and lines in the cell and the submarginal 

 row of dark spots as upon the upper surface. A row of narrow 

 white lunules, bordered on the side of the base with black, begins at 

 the middle of the space between the second discoidal and the first 

 median nervule, and runs to the posterior margin, nearly parallel to 

 the costal margin. The ground color of the underside of the secon- 

 daries is on the basal area lilacine white, on the outer half of the 

 wing light stone gray Avith a reddish tint. Anterior margin broadly 

 black, shading near base and outer angle into maroon. This broad 

 band is broken about half way from the base by a nearly white 

 spot having the form of an inverted comma. A broad, but very ir- 

 regular raaroon-black band originating at the point marked by this 

 comma-like spot, and fusing with the broad band on the anterior 

 margin crosses the wing transversely at the middle and terminates 

 just before reaching the posterior margin. The broad, white, disco- 

 cellular space enclosed between these dark bands is marked by three 

 very dark spots, the two uppermost of which are more or less con- 

 fluent with the dark band of the anterior margin. Underside of 

 palpi, breast and abdomen, white. Alar expanse 2t inches. 



Described from one imperfect male in coll. Holland, from Ogove 

 River, W. Africa. 



I dedicate this fine species to my good friend, Mr. Good, its captor.
