On a collection of Lkpidoptkra from ]\[uflar/aficnr ; by Arthui: 

 G. BuTLKB, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



I have recently had the pleasure of examiuiug a collection 

 forwarded to us by the Rev. R, Toy, and collected by his son at 

 Antananarivo. 



The following Interesting species were amongst those se- 

 lected : — 



ItllOrALOCEliA. 



Pseudonymplta tamatarce, Boisd. 



Both sexes of this species appear to be common at Antanan- 

 arivo. 



Pseudonymjiha ankova {Mycalesis anl:ova, Ward). 



Pfeudon/pnpha ihitina (^Mycalesis ihitina, Ward). 



In a recent paper in the " Annals and jMagazine of Natural 

 History," I have noted this species as coming from Fianarantsoa; 

 I am, however, now convinced that the insect there indicated 

 is a distinct species, although it agrees almost as well witli 

 Mr. Ward's description as that just received ; I therefore aj)peud 

 descriptions of both. 



Pseudonymplid ihltinn. 



Dark fuliginous brown, witli darker submarginal line |)nra,llel 

 to the outer margin, the margin itself blackish ; ])rimaries with a 

 large subapical black ocellus, Avith two blue j)n])ils and a rather 

 broad deep orange iris ; secondaries with tAvo smaller rounded 

 l)lack ocelli, with single liluish- white pupils and narrow deep 

 orange irides, ujjon the median interspaces; wings below Avith 

 the basal three-fifths fuliginous l)roAvn, its outer edge oblitpie 

 and slightly sinuous u])(in llic ]ii-iiii;irics, 1 riundulatc; upon tlie
