belt, from sub-costal nervure to tbird median braiicb, and tbence con- 

 tinued, as two large decreasing spots, into median interspaces ; ee- 

 coudaries spotted and margined, as in P. BoisduvaUi : body very 

 similar to tbe same : wings below paler tban above, secondaries witb a 

 wLitisb nebula on end of cell, and origin of median branches, black 

 spots smaller tban in P. BoisduvaUi ; no pale yellow tint on secondaries. 

 Expanse of wings, 3i incbes.

Tbis species mimics Acraea Acara of Hewitson, as Mr. Trimen baa 

 already pointed out, tbe latter, bowever, is veiy distinct from A. Zetes, 

 of wbicb P. BoisduvaUi was supposed to be an imitation ; tbe male of 

 P. BoisduvaUi is a narrower-winged, more slenderly built insect tban 

 P. Trimenii ; tbe primaries are translucent-black, witb tbe nervures, 

 intex'nervular folds and spots black ; tbe basal tbird is purplisb ; there 

 is a quadrate patch of bright salmon-colour at anal angle, interrupted 

 by the spots and tbe last black dash, and margined externally with 

 black ; the secondaries are produced and acutely pointed at anal 

 angle ; the central area and sub-marginal spots are scarlet ; the ab- 

 dominal region is ochreous ; below, the wings are very similar to those 

 of the female, but brighter in colouring ; tbe secondaries are coloured 

 much as in some Bomaleosoma', pale yellow, tinted with rosy, with a 

 bright rosy flush in cell, and on the sub-marginal spots, the costal area 

 being tinted with greenish : it mimics Acrcea Egina of Cramer, although 

 the female certainly bears a nearer resemblance to A. Menijype. 



AcR^A, (5" ? , possibly a new species. 



AcE^A, ? {Admatha group), probably a new species. 



Mtcalesis, sp. apparently new. 



Belexois IIedtle, ? , Cramer. 



Epitola, sp. 



PuTTALA ? two species : also three pretty little species of lolnus, one 

 of which (described, I believe, by Hopffer) was rcpi'esented in 

 the collection by eight or ten examples. 



I may mention that the following species were also represented, 

 and have, as I understand, since passed into Mr. Hewitson'a hands : — 

 two examples of a fine Romaleosoma, R. Pratinus, several respectable 

 specimens of llarma Egesta, witb other species of less interest.
