and forming roughly an isosceles triangle. Penis sheath of a long and 
irregular shape, the hind two-thirds broad, suddenly constricted, the 
fore part being narrow with an elliptical orifice and a pointed 
extremity.

^. The upperside of both wings is of a beautiful sub-lustrous 
lilacine violet ; the primaries having a broad brown costa, a*broader 
brown apex tapering rapidly to the tornus, the eye spot between 
veins 2 and 3 is prominently edged internally with orange red ; 
below, the prominent character is the two largish costal spots of the 
secondaries below vein 8, these are sometimes black and sometimes 
red in both sexes. Mr. Cator who took the species commonly in 
Sierra Leone noticed the difference when capturing them, the red 
spotted ones sometimes had the colour a brilliant blood red. The 
female is like the male, but the blue of the upperside is brighter and 
less extended.

This species appears to have been very misunderstood, 
and considering the very marked underside, it is some¬ 
what surprising. It is very distinct from the little L. 
otacilia, Trimen, with which Hewitson confused it. Auri- 
villius at once recognised its diversity, and his quick eye also 
saw that Grose-Smith’s $ of lithas did not belong to that 
species, hence his two new names ; but he did not succeed 
in recognising Trimen’s figure, considering it to be a male 
of Mabille’s adherhal, which had been described from a 
female. I have been able to see most of the types, ami
