IV. Descriptions of some new species of Lepidoptera from 
Algeria. By Georce T. Baker, F.L.S. 
[Read December 7th, 1887.] 
Karuy in the present year I received from my corre- 
spondent, Herr Pech, of Budapest, another interesting 
collection of Lepidoptera, which he had taken in the 
neighbourhood of Sebdou, prov. Oran, Algeria. He 
remained there about four months—from March to July 
—and captured, among other good insects, a few new 
species, which I am now describing :— 
Ino Orana, 0. 8. 
Alis anticis, capite, thorace, abdomineque cruleis. Alis pos- 
ticis supra infraque nigrescentibus, infra ad basim ceruleo tinctis. 
Antennis ceruleis non elongatis, breviter pectinatis, dentibus fuscis ; 
femoribus ceruleis, tibiis tarsisque fuscis. 
The anterior wings are of a lustrous bluish bronze, with brownish 
fringes. The posterior wings are sooty grey, with brownish fringes. 
The antenne are short, with short pectinations right up to the 
tip, which is abruptly and bluntly terminated; they are moderately 
stout, bluish in colour, with brown pectinations. The head, 
thorax, and abdomen are of the same hue as the anterior wings, 
but slightly greener. The femora are blue, and the tibiz and tarsi 
brown. Length, 18 to 19 mm. 
I have four males, all from Sebdou. Its nearest ally 
is apparently Dolosa, Stgr. (vide Stett. Ent. Zeit. Jahr., 
48, p. 49), but, not having a specimen of this Ino 
before me, I am unable to give the specific differences. 
From the Amoor species T’ristis, Brem., my insect can 
be easily recognised by its smaller size and blue lustre, 
by its shorter antenne, by the pectinations being de- 
cidedly shorter, and by the tip being bluntly terminated. 
From Cirtana, Luc., its nearest Algerian ally, it may 
at once be separated by its blue lustre and rather larger 
size (Orana being a robust little species with wider
