Mr, G. T. Btii^ine-Ba.ker’s Revinion of the 
ill the more or less confluent spots ; the shajie of this line together 
with the black pupils distinguishes the species from all others.

This is a very pretty and distinct species,

d . Upperside : both wings bright orange yellow. Primaries with 
costa and termen broadly and evenly dark brown. Secondaries with 
costa, fold and termen to about vein 3 broadly dark brown. Under¬ 
side very dark blackish brown with creamy fine lines marking out 
the usual pattern of this section of the genus; the markings are all 
so confluent and solid, that the description can be.st be realised by 
detailing the lines. Primaries with an oblique creamy line at the 
base, two short parallel ones at the end of the cell, below which are 
three oblique ones; from the costa midway to the cell are two more 
short lines at converging angles, with a longer curved line below, and 
extending between, two subterminal lines. Secondaries with two 
sub-basal lines, another interrupted across the wings at the end of 
the cell, double and angled below the cell; three or four short dashes 
in the radial area, a curved subterminal line, and an interrupted 
terminal one. 
Hah. Ogowe River, West Africa. 
Type in the Carnegie Museum. 
The broad borders of the upperside, and the very black 
and solid pattern of the underside, will serve to discriminate 
this species from others, as already mentioned. I have 
little doubt that Smith and Kirby’s ffgures 5 and G {1. c ), 
called by those authors scintillula, are really tliis species.

^. Primaries in fresh specimens almost black, with a good-sized 
orange patch nearly in the centre of the wings. Secondaries black
