444 Mr. Roland Trimen on some new species of 
base. Fore wing:—'The suffusion vaguely occupies the 
lower half of discoidal cell, and covers space between 
median nervure and its first nervule and inner margin 
to near posterior angle; an indistinct dark grey lunular 
mark at extremity of discoidal cell. Hind wing :—The 
suffusion covers middle field of wing from base, leaving 
the costa and apical, hind-marginal, and inner-marginal 
border free; an indistinct dark lunule at extremity of 
discoidal cell ; a little beyond it a curved macular streak 
between second subcostal and second median nervules ; 
a thin black line on hind-marginal edge; within it a 
thin white line, most apparent near anal angle, itself 
immediately preceded by four to six thin whitish lunules, 
which join with it to isolate spots of the ground colour ; 
these spots are darker near anal angle, that between 
second and first median nervules being black, bounded 
interiorly by a well-marked orange lunule. Cilia in both 
wings whitish. Under side :—Soft pale grey ; the mark- 
ings slightly darker, but distinctly edged on both sides 
with whitish ; in each wing a roughly 8-shaped mark at 
extremity of discoidal cell, a discal inferiorly-incurved 
row of more or less confluent similar imperfect rings ; a 
submarginal row of lunules: and a thin hind-marginal 
whitish edging line. Fore wing:—Basal area quite 
spotless as far as extremity of cell. Hind wing :—Near 
base, just below costal nervure, a small but distinct round 
black spot in a whitish ring; the hind-marginal black 
spot between second and first median nervules, and a 
smaller similar spot close to anal angle, conspicuously 
spangled with a few greenish-silvery scales, and interiorly 
bounded by an orange lunule ; between these two spots 
a few greenish silvery scales. 
?. Similar to male, but ground colour paler and 
duller, while the blue suffusion is considerably brighter 
in hue. Hind wing :—Blue becoming very faint on disc, 
which bears a transverse row of rather indistinct whitish 
lunules. Under side as in male. 
This Lycenesthes is in several respects intermediate 
between L. Liodes, Hew. (the Hmolus of my ‘ Rhop. Afr. 
Aust.’ pt. 1. p. 234, pl. 4, figs. 8, 9, apparently not the 
true Hmolus of Godart), and L. Otacilia, mihi (Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond., 1868, p. 90). It is at once to be 
distinguished, however, from both species by the singu- 
larly pale and dull hue of the bluish suffusion on its 
upper surface, which in the male contrasts remarkably
