the lepidopterous genus Huchromia. 113 
13. Huchromia splendens, n.s. (Pl. IV., fig. 4). 
Differs from the preceding in the blacker colouring of the wings, 
he absence of the metallic spots between the deep fulvous 
patches on primaries, the much less distinctly separated fulvous 
patches on the secondaries, the total absence of all orange or red 
-colouring from the thorax; this part of the body is jet black, the 
head, sides of collar, tegule (excepting the fringes) and a dorsal 
longitudinal stripe brilliant greenish blue; the basal abdominal 
segment is more orange and the fourth segment of a deeper red 
than in H. fulvida, and all the other segments are brilliant 
metallic greenish blue, the second and third segments edged with 
black. Expanse of wings, 49—53 mm. 
Old Calabar to Camaroons. 
14. Huchromia africana, Butler. 
A common African species intermediate to some extent 
between HH. splendens and H. madagascariensis, the 
secondaries being like those of the former, the primaries 
and body more nearly resembling the latter species: we 
pare seven examples from Natal, Zululand and Delagoa 
ay. 
15. Huchromia madagascariensis, Boisduval. 
Two specimens from Madagascar. The H. amena of 
Moeschler, said to have come from Silhet, seems nearly 
allied to this species. Is it positively certain that the 
locality is correct ? Surely it would be in Mr. Moore’s 
vast Indian collection. 
16. Huchromia leonis, Butler. 
The body of this species resembles that of LH. splen- 
dens, the wings, however, are wholly different. We have 
three specimens from Sierra Leone. 
17. Huchromia sperchius, Cramer. 
This is the H. interstans of Walker, represented by 
two examples from Ashanti. 
18. Euchromia horsfieldii, Moore. 
Five specimens, collected by Dr. Horsfield in Japan, 
are in the Museum series.
