of Diurnal Lcpidoptera. 517 



The three preceding species belong to the Melander 

 group of the genus^ placed by some authors in the genus 

 LeucocMtonea ; the latter is, however, altogether distinct 

 from them, and from the white species of Pyrgus referred 

 to it by Wallengren ; the true position of Leticochitonea 

 appears to be next to Pyrrhopyga and Oxynetra, 



7. Achlyodes Ophia, n. sp. 



Wings above, pale olive-brown ; front-wings with a 

 bifid spot on costa, a large excavated quadrate spot 

 below it and in the cell, two between median branches, 

 the lower large and quadrate, two points in an oblique 

 line with the latter and above the sub-median nervure, and 

 four points in an oblique series near the apex, all hyaline 

 and black-edged, a short sub-apical and sub-anal streak, 

 black ; hind-wings with base, a spot near it on costa, an 

 apical patch, and a sub-apical point, black, a sub-marginal 

 diffused brown streak; body brown. Wings below, as 

 above, excepting that the black markings are replaced 

 by brown ones ; body whitish. 



Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 5 lines.

Somewhat resembles some of the species of Pithonides 

 in the hyaline spots of the front-wings. 



8. Achlyodes Hadina, n. sp. 



Wings above, dull-brown, two dark brown central 

 bands in all the wings margined by pale ochreous scales, 

 the margin slightly darker than the ground-colour and 

 irrorated with pale ochreous atoms. Wings below, some- 

 what ochraceous, the outer margin broadly dusky ; front- 

 wings with an irregular curved line from costal nervure to 

 sub-median nervure, where it terminates in a brown spot 

 encircled with whitish, near costa it is margined ex- 

 ternally by an oblique ochreous line, a sub-marginal 

 streak of ochraceous, sometimes restricted to the median 

 interspaces; hind-wings densely irrorated with gray 

 scales, a central brown band parallel to the margin and 

 edged with grayish scales ; body pale brown, palpi whitish. 



Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 4 lines.
