these bands, which stop short before base and apex, are closely and 

 rather strongly punctured ; the tawny-yellow marks on the elytra 

 consist of (1) a sutural band winch widens out at the base and 

 spreads across each elytron to the shoulder, and which also widens 

 out near the apex, (2) a short oblique band given off on each side 

 from the sutural band just before the middle, (3) an elongate, club- 

 shaped spot or band running from the outer end of the oblique band 

 towards the base, (4) a round spot on each elytron placed close to 

 the sutural band about half-way between the middle and the apex. 

 Metathorax with one, and the abdomen with a row of blackish spots 

 along each side. Where the elytra are blackish in colour, they are 

 seen to be rather strongly punctured. 



Length 11, breadth 3 mm. 



Hal. Borneo : Matang, 3,600 ft. 



The actual specimen here described is figured by Mr. Shel- 

 ford in Proc. Zool. Soc, 1902, on p. 25 and pi. xx, f. 34. 



Cylindrepomus laetus, Pasc, var. 



From the type form of G. laetus, this variety differs chiefly by the 

 colour of the pubescence covering the prothorax and forming the 

 bands on the elytra, the colour being yellowish-brown instead of 

 ashy-grey as in the type. It differs also in having the short sutural

band at the apex of the elytra continued forward to join the postero- 

 median transverse band, and the latter is a little more arcuate than 

 is the corresponding band in the type. 



Hab. Borneo : Matang. 



This variety is figured by Mr. Shelford as " ? form of comis " 

 (I. c, pi. xx, f. 33). 



A New African Lycaenid. — Professor Poulton exhibited 

 six male examples of a remarkable Lycaenid, all captured, 

 Nov. 22, 1910, in the Uhehe District (3,000-3,500 ft.) of 

 German East Africa, by Mr. S. A. Neave, F.E.S. The 

 pattern and brilliant colours, which were extraordinary in 

 a Lycaenid, strongly suggested, on both upper and under 

 surface, the appearance, although on a smaller scale, of an 

 Acraea of the type of A. cmemosa, Hew. Mr. Neave wrote to 

 Professor Poulton from Mombasa, Jan. 6, 1911 : — 



"I had a very fairly successful journey across German East 

 Africa. 



" I got a few good Lepidoptera, the most interesting in the 

 way of mimicry being a large Lycaenid which I do not re-
