taiuecl tliat tliey agreed with a $ from Old Calabar belonging to the 

 South-African Museum. The pale-orange field is much more restricted 

 in the hind-wings than in the fore-wings, lying indeed outside the dis- 

 coidal cell, and not rising above second subcostal, or extending much 

 below first median nervule. The under side bears a singular likeness 

 to that of Lijcccna Tdicanus, but is still closer to that of a West-African 

 congener, Lyccetiesthes Lyclinidcs, Hewits. In the latter species the $ 

 is wholly dark-brown on the upper side, but the $ has a small orange 

 mark near the inner margin of the fore-wings. Two allied Gaboon 

 Lyccenestlies, named by Hewitson respectively L. Lusones and L. Leptines, 

 have similar but darker under sides, and very restricted orange mark- 

 ings on the upper side ; they are also considerably smaller than Z. 

 Mahota.

" ^ Upper side. — Copper-red, paler than in Dinocharcs " { = Lici- 

 nia, vol. ii. p. 1 1 1, No. 176 supra) " and more glossy. Anterior wings 

 with a brown apex. 



" Under side. — Anterior wings darker and redder than in Dino- 

 charcs, the lower portion down to the inner margin orange. Posterior 

 wings with three basal spots larger than in Dinocharcs, and the lines 

 forming the bands on both wings broader and redder ; the outer por- 

 tion of the posterior wings from beyond the middle irrorated w^ith 

 white. 



" $ Upper side. — Dull blue, more grej^ than in Dinocharcs, in other 

 respects resembling it ; but on the posterior wings is a marginal black 

 spot between the caudal spot and the lobe.

I saw Mr. Smith's types of this Dendorix in 1886, and having 

 been disappointed in obtaining any specimens except one much broken 

 ^ from the Northern Transvaal, I give his description of both sexes. 

 The ^ is readily distinguished from the other orange-red species of the
