FAMILY XYMPIIALLD-E. 53 



Tliia novelty is of great interest from tho fact of its belonging to a small but conspicuous genus 

 uf the Chanuces group ; I have therefore felt great pleasure in naming it after its cajjtor, Mr. Herbert 

 T. Ussher, the present Administrator of the Gold Coast ; I must hero also take tlie oi)i)ortunity of 

 acknowledging my obligations to Jlr. Swanzy for tho use wliich he has so frequently allowed me 

 to make of lus Collection. 



Tho above species is perfectly distinct from Cramer's P. Dcciiis, which M. Lucas describes at 

 p. 122 of liis work ; I suspect that the Ndolet tint in the frontwing band of his figure is incorrect, and 

 intended to make it correspond to some extent with his description, which is probably a compilation.

Allied to Danais hamafa, from which it differs most strikingly in the absence of the intemo- 

 basal spot in the frontwings, and in the broader and shorter form of all the transparent markings ; 1 

 have figured it here to show tho amount of resemblance between it and Godartia AnseUku, this is a 

 less perfect instance of preservative assimilation than that of its near ally, G. Eurinome ; the female of 

 the latter is most like D. Leonora.
