. Upperside : both wings uniform bluish black. Underside 
similar to larydas, Cram., but with the base and the terminal areas 
white, and tlie postmedian stripe oblique in the primaries. 
$• Upperside : both wings blackish browm. Primaries with an 
ovate orange spot. Secondaries with a fine blue stripe in the inter- 
nervular spaces of veins 1 to 3, and between veins 2 and 3 a small 
orange spot. 
Hah. Cameroons (Victoria). 
Type ill coll. Erliardt, Muiiicli. 
I have not been able to see this species, but it is 
evidently near iny versatilis. 
Lycaenesthes hitje, Druce. 
Mr. Druce is describing this species from the Cameroons; 
it is closely allied to L. versatilis, but has yellovv-oi'ange 
spots not blue, and the underside also differs slightly. 
Hah. Bitje; Ja River, Cameroons. 
Type in the Druce collection.

5. Both wings brown on the upperside ; the secondaries with a 
marked row of dark marginal spots with an outer white line bordering 
them. Underside very similar to an obsoletely-inarked female 
lacliares, with a terminal row of black-pupilled white spots in both 
wings. I am greatly indebted to Dr. Holland for a coloured figure 
of this species ; his figures of other species known to me are so 
accurate that I have no hesitation in reproducing this figure. At 
the same time it apj^ears to be probably a sport. The whole appear¬ 
ance of the insect leads me to this conclusion, and I should not be at 
all surjtrised to find, if its genitalia could be dissected, that it w'as a 
(jynandromorph. 
Hah. Ogowe River.
