136 Mr. Roland Trimen on some new 
9. Like §. Hind wing: On hind margin, near anal angle, a 
white or whitish line immediately before the terminal fuscous line, 
and indistinct traces of two small fuscous spots—one on each side 
of the spot between 1st and 2nd median nervules. UNDER SIDE.— 
Paler than in g'; all the markings considerably darker and more 
distinct, with rather conspicuous white edging, especially the sub- 
marginal and hind-marginal ones, and the subbasal four spots in 
hind wing. 
The very small size of this Lycenesthes, and the simi- 
larity of, and almost entire want of violaceous colouring 
in, both sexes on the upper side, render it easily recog- 
nised. The extremely broken and irregular condition of 
the discal series of spots on the under side, as well as the 
existence of four spots in the subbasal series of the hind 
wings, indicate an alliance with the much larger and 
very different Z. Amaroh, Guér., and L. Larydas (Cram.) ; 
while the tint of the upper side is not unlike but darker 
than that of the ? L. Otaielia, Trim. As usual in the 
genus, the ? has more rounded wings than the g, the 
fore wings especially having a blunter apex and a de- 
cidedly convex hind margin. 
This description is made from four examples taken by 
Mr. Cecil N. Barker in the coast districts of Natal, vid. : 
a ¢ at Verulam, one ? at Malvern, and two females on 
the Sinquasi River. These examples are all noted by 
Mr. Barker as occurring on the yellow flowers of a thorny 
Acacia, the Malvern ? on the 9th January, 1890, the 
Verulam ¢ at the end of November, and the Sinquasi 
females on the 1st December, in the same year.

Hizp. al. (gf), 1 in. 2-84 lin.; (?), Lin. 43 lin. Closely allied 
to Z. Thyra (Linn.). 
3. Pale orange-yellow, with a linear fuscous edging along 
hind margin, only widening in fore wing at apex ; bases very 
narrowly fuscous. Fore wing: A fine linear fuscous edging along 
costa; apical expansion of dark border slight or moderate, and 
narrowing into the linear portion about lower radial or 38rd median 
nervule. UNDER SIDE.—Hind wing and apex of fore wing pale 
greyish brown, with dark-edged whitish markings arranged as in 
Thyra. Fore wing: White centres to disco-cellular and upper
