as, and even larger than, the African. The wings of the 

 $ Bolipis are proportionally longer; but I have not seen 

 any specimen in which the forewings are sub-falcate, as is 

 the case Avith some of the Chinese examples of Orithyia. 

 Hopffer's J. Orithya from Querimba (Peters' "E-eise 

 nach Mossambique," Ins. und Myriop., p. 380) is pro- 

 bably referable to J. Boupis.

$ . Dark broicn, with broad ochre-yelloic discal band, 

 Foreiciiig : baud commencing on costa, curved convexly 

 outwardly, its edges irregular (especially the inner one, 

 which is deeply indented by ground-colour '^n^t below 3rd 

 median nervule) ; from near apex to above sub-median a 

 discal row of 6 small black spots, the lower three of which 

 are in the yellow band just beyond its middle line ; the 

 1st and 2nd of the row are Avhite-centred (the latter con- 

 spicuously), and the 6th accompanied inferiorly by a black 

 dot ; costa near base scaled with ferruginous-rufous ; in 

 discoidal cell 3 black-edged irregular striaj, of which the 

 basal one is rufous-tinged and imperfect — the central one 

 distinctly rufous in its upper portion — and the outer one 

 of the ground-colour defining extremity of cell; along 

 hind-margin, 2 very indistinct paler hmulated stria3, the 

 inner rather more apparent than the outer, being slightly 

 dusted with whitish. Hindioiny : band commencing 

 narrowly on costa, but suddenly broadening between sub- 

 costal nervules, and continuing widely almost to inner- 

 margin beyond middle ; it is rather paler than in fore wing, 

 but similarly contains exteriorly a row of small black spots, 

 all 6 of which are conspicuous on the ochre-yellow ; hind- 

 marginal hmulated stride rather more distinct than in fore- 

 wing, especially near anal angle where they are sprinkled 

 with bluish-white scales continuous of those which cover 

 the long anal-angular projection ; hind-margin distinctly 

 edged with rufous-ochreous. Cilia very narrow, dull- 

 brown generally, but white just below projection of fore-
