spot on the costal margin, a large pale yellow spot at tlie anal angle, 

 and a smaller spot o£ the same colour at the middle of the outer margin. 



Underside : anterior wing with the costal margin brown, marked 

 at its middle by a yellow spot ; the apex yellow, bordered inwardly by 

 brown. Posterior wing yellow, clouded with pale brown, the basal 

 half red-brown, marked by several pearly-white spots.

This species, which is in form and general appearance most like 

 L. Zaela, and in colour more like L. Medora, was taken by Dr. AVolf 

 in Ecuador, and is now in my collection. 



Eor this and three other new species, I am indebted to Mr. Alfred 

 Simson.

 bt w. c. hewitsoin", f.l.s. 



Chakaxes Azota. 



Upper-side : male, black. Both wings with the outer margin 

 broadly bright brick-red (colour of C. Protoclea). Anterior wing 

 with the costal margin rufous, the band of the outer margin marked 

 by black spots, and divided as it reaches the apex into two bands of 

 separate spots, one of which is on the margin. Posterior wing 

 dentated, the red margin covering half the wing, and marked near the 

 anal angle by two minute black spots centered with white. 



Under-side red-brown. Both wings with a sub-marginal series of 

 minute white spots. Anterior wing with four bands in the cell, and 

 a spot beyond it ; crossed at the middle by a band of glossy colour 

 bordered with brown, the apex marked by two white spots. Posterior 

 wing crossed near the base by a band of red-brown, and at the middle 

 and beyond it by broad glossy bands. 



Exp. 3to inch. 



This fine species was taken by Mr. Thelwall, at Nyassa. It is 

 closely allied to G. Protoclea, and is the ^ of a butterfly from the 

 collection of the jNIonteiros, which (having lost the posterior portion 

 of the hind wings) I described as Fhilognoma Azota.
