28 Mr, G. T. B^Piune-Baker’s Bevision of the 
costal spot near the postmedian band, which latter consists of seven 
more or less confluent spots, viz. a pair at the costa, another pair 
curved and shifted outwards, fifth spot shifted inwards, sixth well 
inwards, seventh right inwards, larger and curved ; an obscure scal¬ 
loped subterminal band. Secondaries with three quite small sub-basal 
spots, viz. one on vein 8, one in the cell, and one on the abdominal 
margin, a largish spot closing the cell with a pale central line ; 
postmedian band consisting of eight spots, the seventh and eighth 
forming the angled one, the second spot shifted outwards, third and 
fourth confluent, shifted outwards, fifth inwards, sixth inwards, 
oblique, angled spot right inwards ; a trace of a subterminal band, 
with a scalloped whitish fine outer edging, below which is a black 
spot with blue metallic scales, edged with orange colour, and a similar 
smaller double spot, similarly edged at the angle.

Hah. Makala, Congo Free State, July; Bitje, 
Cameroons. 
Type in my collection from Makala; also in the British 
Museum, and in the Druce collection from the Cameroons. 
The broad black borders to both wings should suffice to 
distinguish it from other species; the underside is very 
close to Sierra Leone specimens of ligures. 
Lycaenesthes alberta, sp. nov. (Plate I, fig. 11.) 
^. Both wings deep brownish purple. Primaries with the costa 
and termen broadly brown, the apex more broad, a black line closing 
the cell. Secondaries with very broad brown costa tapering round 
the termen to the angle, where it is moderately narrow. Underside : 
both wings brownish with pattern edged finely with white. Primaries 
with a large quadrate spot closing the cell with a pale central line, 
a small costal spot above it and shifted slightly outwards. Post- 
median band consisting of four confluent obliquely arranged spots, 
each shifted slightly beyond its predecessor,’ spots five and six con¬ 
fluent shifted inwards, the sixth spot decidedly larger than the fifth, 
seventh spot shifted well inwards and oblique ; a scalloped post¬ 
median band indefinitely edged with whitish, particularly on its 
inner edge. Secondaries with three sub-basal spots, viz. one on 
vein 8, one in the cell, and one on the inner margin. A large 
quadrate spot closes the cell, finely dusted with whitish ; postmedian 
band darkish with pale central lines ; spots two, three, and four, each 
shifted slightly beyond each other, fifth spot shifted inwards, sixth 
inwards,angled spot very obtuse, shifted slightly inwards ; subterminal 
line obscure, scalloped, broadly and indefinitely edged internally
