Differs from T, phoenicis, Karscli, in the underside, which is 
browner, the basal spots in both wings are very dark brown; in 
Karsch’s species they are the same colour as the ground, viz. grey ; 
all the spots are more filled in with brown, whilst the angled seventh 
and eighth spots of the secondaries are entirely dark in my species, 
but in 2 )hoen}cis, of which I have seen a long series, they are quite the 
same as the ground-colour. 
Hah. Sierra Leone; Ogruga (Nigeria). 
Type in my collection. 
Genitalia .—Harpago broadish with lower extremity forming a long, 
sc^uare serrated point, the lower edge being produced into a blunt 
point at a quarter from the apex, between which it is well excavated, 
upper edge develoi:)ed into a short, sharp tooth. Cingula with base 
well produced backwards, girdle very narrow. Tegumen of even 
width with slightly expanding cheeks. Falces long of moderate 
strength, highly curved at two-fifths from their sockets. Furca with 
very long arms inclined forwards, the arms are broad at first then 
suddenly constricted very narrowly. Penis sheath broadish, hollowed 
for the hinder half, then gradually tapering down to a suddenly 
expanding trumpet-shaped orifice. Tegumen and harpagines well

g. Both wings sooty brown above. Primaries with i)ale bluish 
spots in the postmedian area of the wing, and a double one in the 
middle of the fold, and a horizontal dash further out near the tornus. 
Secondaries with a pale bluish po.5tmedian line interrupted at the 
veins, and an obscure fine subterminal scalloped one enclosing an 
obscure row of small spots. The characteristic feature of the under¬ 
side in the primaries is the postmedian stripe, which is reduced to 
an oblique confluent stripe from the costa to vein 3, the whole of 
the lower part being absent; in the secondaries the basal band is 
irregular but confluent, and is not broken up into separate spots ; 
the postmedian stripe is divided into three pair of spots, the fifth 
and sixth spots being reduced to a minimum ; the second pair is
