pale brownish spots and markings edged with white. Primaries 

 with the usual spot closing the cell, narrowish and sublunular; 

 the postmedian series is composed of five or six spots, the first to 

 the fourth spots more or less erect, the third spot generally oblique, 

 the fifth shifted inwards, the sixth, when present, is immediately 

 below it; the terminal row of internervular dashes is practically 

 confluent and is preceded by a broad confluent row of submarginal 

 sublunular marks. Secondaries with four black spots near the base, 

 three below each other and one on the inner margm nearer the base, 

 a fifth black spot is shifted outwards below vein 8, above the curved 

 dash closing the cell ; the postmedian series is composed of six 

 spots, the first isolated and oblique, the second to the fifth adjacent 

 and placed in a curve so strong as to bring the fifth spot almost 

 below that closing the cell, sixth spot reniform, shifted somewhat 

 outwards; the terminal row of almost semispherical spots is pre- 

 ceded by a definite series of confluent hmules from the apex to 

 the anal angle ; the subanal marginal spot is black with metallic 

 blue scales edged internallj' with chrome yellow. 



$. Upperside, both wings brownish with a slight irroration cf 

 blue scales from the basal to the median areas ; the cells are closed 

 by a brown spot. Primaries with a confluent brown broad terminal 

 stripe, with fine pale internal line separating it from the submarginal 

 row of broad internervular dashes. Secondaries with a terminal 

 row of subspherical spots preceded by a row of internervular lunules, 

 a large black subanal spot with chrome yellow internal edging. 

 Underside precisely as in the male. This species is not tailed.

Hah. BoGOS Hansal ; Nairobi ; Kuju River. 



Type in the Tring Museum. 



The identity of this species has for long remained uncer- 

 tain; it is evidently very rare in collections. The type is 

 a female, and it is without tails. I fortunately possess a 

 male that I have little doubt is the male of the Tring species, 

 and my figures of the genitalia and androconia are from 

 this specimen. 



Genitalia with the harpagines very long, widish at the base, the 

 lower margin tapering gradually into a narrow arm highly concave 

 on the lower margin, nearly straight on the upper margin, suddenly 

 bent downwards at a fifth from the apex, which is spatulate and 

 I'ecurved upwards into a short hook ; the bristles along the whole 

 length are long and fairly picntifnl ; anellus Avith the front edge cone- 

 shaped; aedoeagus shortish, very slightly curved; anellus slightly
