1920] Holland, Lepidoptera of the Congo 263 



of the fore wing is broadly black at the apex, but rapidly decreases in width to the 

 extremity of the second median nervule, and then suddenly widening inwardly and 

 again diaiinishing to the inner angle, forms a subtriangular spot- on the outer margin 

 from the second submedian nervule to the angle. This black spot is ornamented by a 

 minute white or hyaline spot between veins 2 and 3 near their extremities. At the 

 end of the cell of the fore wing there is a subtriangular black spot. The black outer 

 margin of the hind wing is relatively wide, and the costal margin is broadly black. 

 The outer margin has an inwardly projecting tooth-like prolongation on vein 2. 

 In consequence of the width of the black borders of the liind wing the inner hyaline 

 area is much reduced, and restricted to the lower half of the cell, a small space beyond 

 it, and the basal portion of the space between the cell and vein 1. Expanse 9 , 27 mm. 



This species comes nearest M. ochsenheimeri (Boisduval) but is 

 totally distinct, differing both in the markings of the 

 wings and the abdomen. I name it in honor of the ^^^^wjif^"'^ 

 leader of the expedition upon the Lepidoptera col- ^%jB^ 

 lected by which I am reporting. The type, which is f 



unique, was collected at Medje, August 6, 1910, and is Fig. 2.
