New or little-known African Butterflies. ie 
tremity where it is bounded by a very ill-defined black mark), to 
beyond middle over basal parts of median nervules and on submedian 
nervure, but narrowing to about middle on inner-marginal edge ; a 
dull-grey costal border from base to extremity of cell. Hindwing : 
some blue scaling at base and along median nervure ; bluezarea 
extending from about middle to hindmargin, and from above 2nd 
subcostal nervule to submedian nervure, but with a narrow fuscous 
hindmarginal edging which becomes black and linear towards anal 
angle ; a good-sized black spot on hindmargin between Ist and 2nd 
median nervules, and a similar spot on anal-angular lobe ;_basi- 
costal sexual glossy patch very large but not sharply defined, its 
lower portion occupying discoidal cell ; tails on Ist median nervule 
and submedian nervure black, tipped and inwardly edged with white 
—the former short and almost linear, the latter more than twice as 
long and rather wide (especially at base) ; a rather dense fringe of 
whitish hair along inner-margin beyond middle. Cilia fuscous 
generally, but white on inferior part of hindwing. UNDERSIDE.— White, 
with two subcostal dark-brown spots in forewing, and one in hindwing ; 
a common interrupted sublunulate brown submarginal line, and 
a narrow pale-brown hindmarginal border. Forewing : larger dark- 
brown spot subreniform, at extremity of discoidal cell; smaller one 
about midway between this and apex but close to costa, more ovate ; 
below this spot faint fragments of a linear brown discal streak to 
below 2nd median nervule ; inner-marginal sexual tuft of bristles black. 
Hindwing : dark-brown spot between costal nervure and Ist sub- 
costal nervule large, oblong, conspicuous ; below it a very much 
smaller contiguous spot is the commencement of a_ transverse, 
irregular, interrupted discal brown line, which terminates in a black 
W close to inner margin; two black hindmarginal spots strongly 
marked and sprinkled with a few bluish-silvery scales ; lunule of 
submarginal streak immediately before superior black spot orange- 
yellow. 
I do not know any Lolaus to which this species is nearly 
allied. Like Z. stdus, Trim., and J. mimosx, Trim., the 
subcostal nervure of the forewing has four branches ; but 
the apical part of the forewing is remarkably prolonged, 
occasioning a corresponding incurve of the hindmarginal 
outline between 2nd and Ist median nervules, and: the 
anal-angular part of the hindwing is also much produced 
and exceptionally acute at the extremity of the submedian 
nervure. ‘Ihe underside markings are very peculiar, owing 
to the expansion into a conspicuous spot in both wings of 
the commencement of the discal streak, while the rest
