(211) 10. Euphgsdra rezioides, new species 



Plate XI, Figure 5, 9 

 I am constrained to describe as new two females, which it is impossible to refer 

 to any of the hitherto described forms belonging to this group. On the upper side 

 they resemble E. rezia, 9 , and have the postapical band narrow and straight as in 

 that species. This band is pale orange in the specimens before me, as is also the case 

 in about half of the females of typical E. rezia, the other half, however, in E. rezia 

 having this band white. On the under side there is a marked difference. The sub- 

 marginal spots of the fore wing, which are invariably present in E. rezia, are obsolete, 

 except the one near the inner angle. The cell of the hind wing has one or two black 

 spots in it and is closed at its extremity by a black bar, which is not found in E. rezia, 

 and beyond the cell in interspaces 3, 4, 5, and 6 there are inwardly pointing sagittate 

 dark spots arranged in a straight series, after which is a transverse series of pale 

 markings ; of these the one in space 7 is the longest and immediately follows the longi- 

 tudinal black streak which partly fills the interspace basad, but does not reach the 

 basal end of this interspace. The other pale spots of the series, which I am describing, 

 diminish rapidly in size in the direction of the lower margin of the wing. The species 

 at first glance recalls the pale spots on the under side of E. eherti (cf . Aurivillius, Seitz, 

 XIII, PI. XLivrf), but differs by the existence of the strongly defined dark spots in 

 the cell of the fore wing and the dark markings of the hind wings which have been 

 described. Expanse, 80-85 mm. 



The two specimens were both taken at Medje in August. The type 

 is in The American Museum of Natural Histor}-. The paratype is in the 

 Holland Collection in the Carnegie Museum. 



Themis Group 



(212) 11. Euphaedra adonina (Hewitson) 



Romalceosoma adonina Hew^itson, 1865, Exot. Butt., Ill, Romalwosoma, PI. in, 



figs. 11, 12. 

 Euphaedra adonina Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 187, PI. xliv6. 



Six males and three females, one male caught at Gamangui in June, 

 the rest at Medje from July to September. 



(213) 12. Euphaedra vetusta (Butler) 



Romnlneosoma vetusta Butler, 1871, Lep. Exot., p. 82, PI. xxxi, fig. 5, 9 . 

 Euphcedra vetusta Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., Ill, p. 187, PI. XLiva, 9 . 



With a measure of hesitation I refer to this species three males 

 taken at Medje in July and August. Butler's figure is that of a female, 

 and so also is that given bj- Aurivillius. The specimens correspond 

 more nearly with what is known of Butler's species than with any 

 other, and I leave them here subject to query.
