 to March 1915, and the Natal one, November 10, 1896. 



This species is allied to N. j)atricia Trimen, but the colour 

 above and the pattern below are different, whilst it is also 

 a much larger insect. 



Genitalia. Harpagines long and narrow, tapering somewhat 

 rapidly from a wider base, lower margin concave, upper margin 

 convex, surface shagreened towards tlie apex, which forms a spatu- 

 late hook, numerous bristles along the whole length; anellus with 

 the front margin conical ; aedoeagus longish and narrowish ; cingu- 

 lum of moderate dimensions; tegumen a mere ridge at the rear, 

 but rather v/ider than usual, with smallish cheeks produced forwards 

 with long strong falces ; cheeks with a good supply of fine bristles. 



Androconia of a long oblong shape with a longish footstalk; 

 distally the curve is broad and even, proximally it tapers off towards 

 the attachment stalk; there are ten rows of reticulations placed 

 rather closely together. 



Noochrysops nyasae sp. n. Plate XIV, fig. 10. 



$. Upperside, both wings brown with the basal five-sixths up 

 to the upper margin of the cell sj^aringly suffused with pale blue 

 scales; the postmedian area inclined to be whitish. Primaries 

 with a large irregular spot closing the cell, beyond which is a dis- 

 connected row of small dots encircled with v/hite, the spot on the 

 fold being larger. Secondaries with the spot closing the cell obscure, 

 being the spot on the undcrsurface showing through; a trace of a 

 postmedian row of spots ; a terminal row of largish spot's edged with 

 v/hite, and an internal lunvilar dark edging beyond ; a subanal black 

 spot Vi'ith slight metaliic scaling and an internal edging of orange; 

 a fine tail from vein 2. Underside, both wings whitish with dark 

 brown spots encircled with pure white. Primaries Avith a good-sized 

 spot closing the cell; the postmedian series consisting of seven 

 spots, all largish except the one directly below the costa, which is 

 placed iuv/ards, sjwts one to five are in a slight curve, the fourth 

 spot being more or less oblique, spots six to seven are shifted inwards ; 

 the submarginal row consists of subhastate marks, and the marginal 

 row consists of subhastate spots, more or less confluent. Second- 

 aries with five black spots near the base, four below each other 

 and one on the inner margin, a sixth black spot is shifted out beyond 

 the middle below vein 8; a good-sized spot closes the cell and is 

 foUov/ed by the postmedian series of six spots, the first being oblique 

 and isolated, spots two to four are in a curve, the fifth is shifted
