 Jron^ Madagascar \ by AnTiiiui (t. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



The three fullowiug species have been received in a small 

 collection made by Mr, Robert Toy in a forest near Antanan- 

 arivo : — 



Evseinia luipopi/rrha, u. sp. 



Upper surface velvety-black ; head and collar spotted with 

 sulphur-yellow, a white spot on each tegula close to the himieral 

 angles of the thorax ; abdomen with the lateral margins of 

 the segments and the sides orange ; primaries with two spots 

 near the base, and a .broad slightly curved and rounded central 

 })elt, which does not reach the costal margin, siilphur-yellow ; 

 secondaries Avith the fringe white at apex ; body below orange ; 

 head black, spotted with yellow ; primaries paler than above, 

 orange at the base ; a basi-subcostal streak of suljjhur-yellow 

 uniting with the broad central belt ; disc of the wings chocolate- 

 l)rown ; secondaries bright carmine, Avith the base of the costal 

 margin orange ; outer half of the costal margin black ; a broad 

 external black border tapering to the anal angle ; a subajtical 

 whitish spot. Expanse of wings 3 inches 4 lines. 



This is the most robiist species that I \vAxe yet seen, it is most 

 nearly allied to E. agrius of Herrich-Schiiffer, but is consider- 

 ably larger, has a broader and sulphur-yellow belt across the 

 primaries, and no belt u])(m the secondaries; whether E. agrius 

 lias the hind wings carmine below like E. zea of the same ])late 

 1 cannot tell, but I susjiect it has.
