collected by W. A. Lamborn in the Lagos district. 501 
From its underside pattern this species is allied to 
A. purpurascens, Holland, rather than to the wininga group. 
Epitola oniensis, sp. n. 
6. Upperside. Both wings bright rather lustrous blue, somewhat 
of the colour of a deep sky-blue; in a side light, but only in a side 
light, with a shade of mauve in it. Primaries with an irregular 
black wedge-shaped spot at the end of the cell. Costa and termen 
very broadly deep black, the latter gradually tapering towards 
the tornus, the blue area is very evenly terminated but has slight 
black incisions at each of the veins: there is a marked sex brand on 
the lower margin of the cell the vein being much swollen at the 
base but rapidly tapering to vein 2; vein 1 is likewise prominent 
for its basal half, though to a very much less extent. Secondaries 
with the costa deep black to the cell and to vein 6, termen very 
broadly black, the disco-cellular veins show very finely black. 
Underside. Both wings pale madder brown with whitish mark- 
ings. Primaries with a few whitish scales in the cell at the base 
of vein 6 and also near the lower angle of the cell, just beyond the 
cell is a fine curved irregular and interrupted line of similar scales 
from vein 9 or 10 to vein 2, a more definite curved and scalloped 
postmedian line from vein 10 to vein 1, a submarginal very obscure 
and indefinite curved broadish line of very fine scales followed by a 
similarly obscure marginal row. Secondaries, with a few scattered 
sub-basal whitish scales, a few more such scales across the cell 
beyond the middle almost assuming the shape of the figure 8, 
below which are a few more, just beyond the cell a very irregular 
interrupted and fine curved line as in the primaries followed by a 
postmedian curved irregular line from the costa to nearly the inner 
margin, a submarginal broader line somewhat scalloped: there is no 
marginal line. 
Expanse ¢ 36 mm. 
Hab. Oni near Lagos. 
Type in the Oxford Museum, captured by W. A. Lam- 
born at rest “on dry stem’’ in the forest 14 miles E. of 
Oni, Feb. 4, 1911. This species seems to be somewhere 
near catuna, G.-Smith. I have a specimen very near it 
in my own collection from Sierra Leone.

3. Both wings black—dead black—with a mer slight interneural 
suffusion of dark blue scales.
