siJe is white, ail tiie narrow lines and mark- 

 ings which appear in the case of the male 

 being obsolete except those about the outer 

 margins of the wings. Expanse 30 nini. 



Described from examples taken 4^1 

 coitu, and contained in the collection of

It is with much hesitation that I refer 

 this insect to Mr. Moore's genus Spal- 

 gis^ but it comes nearer to it apparent- 

 ly than to any other of these erected by 

 lepidopterists. It will probably become 

 the representativ^e of a new genus, when 

 the future revision of the lycaenldae 

 takes place. 



LACHNOCNEMA, Trim. 

 13. L. EXIGUUS, sp. nov. 



Upperside. Head, thorax, abdomen and 

 antennae black. Wings white with the cos- 

 tal and outer margins of the anteriors and 

 the outer margin of the secondaries broadly 

 black. 



Underside. Legs white, and also the ab- 

 domen except at the tip where it is fuscous. 

 Wings white with the costa of the primaries 

 narrowly' and the apical third broadly washed 

 with pale wood brown. The outer margin of 

 the secondaries is also broadly suffused with 

 the same color. Near the apex of the prim- 

 aries there is a submarginal row of three and 

 a marginal row of five gilt spots. Near the 

 anal angle of the secondaries there is a 

 similar series of marginal and submarginal 

 spots, and upon the anterior margin of the 

 secondaries there are three elongated coppery 

 gilt spots. Expanse 25 mm.

LARINOPODA, Butler. 



14. • L. PERFRAGII.IS, sp. nOV. 



Upper side. Antennae, head, thorax, and 

 abdomen black. Wings pellucid, white. The 

 costal and outer margins of the primaries are 

 somewhat broadly and the outer margin of 

 the secondaries very narrowly laved with 

 black. There is a round black spot at the 

 end of the cell of the secondaries. 



Under side. Exactly as the upper. The 

 legs are crimson. Expanse of wings 40 mm. 



Type in coll. Holland. 



15. L. CAMPiMus, sp. nov. 



Allied to L. libyssa. Hew., and closelv re- 

 sembling it upon the upper side. The broad 

 black margin of the wings is however quite 

 regular and not excavated on the costa at the 

 end of the cell of the primaries, and just below 

 the outer angle of the secondaries as in L. 

 libyssa, and the markings of the under surface 

 being different do not appear the same upon 

 the upper surface which permits of their be- 

 ing seen on account of the partly diaphanous 

 nature of the wings. Underside. Anterior 

 wings white, with the costal and outer mar- 

 gins broadly black, the black being extended 

 downward upon the cell in the form of a cou- 

 ple of teeth. At the apex the black area is 

 interrupted by a lunate white spot and a nar- 

 row marginal line. The posterior wings are 

 also white with the outer and inner margins 

 broadly black. Just before the middle of the 

 anterior margin a broad straight band of 

 black arises and crosses the wing diagonally 

 to the inner margin; a similar black band 

 extending from near the outer angle of the 

 wing runs parallel to and at a slight remove 

 from the anterior margin and coalesces with 

 the broad black diagonal band. The broad 

 outer band of black is adorned near the outer 

 angle by a large white spot which is followed 

 toward the anal angle by several smaller 

 spots of the same color. Expanse 28 mm.
