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

is the corresponding band in the type.

A New Arrican Lycannrp.—Professor Poutron 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. 8. 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. anemosa, Hew. Mr. Neave wrote to 
Professor Poulton from Mombasa, Jan. 6, 1911 :—

“JT had a very fairly successful journey across German Kast 
Africa. 
“T got afew good Lepidoptera, the most interesting in the 
way of mimicry being a large Lycaenid which I do not re- 
member having seen before. I took six individuals all from 
one spot. 
“The first one I saw completely took me in (though I 
watched it for nearly five minutes while waiting for a net to 
come up) not so much by its appearance as by its attitude. 
It was sunning itself at the top of a grass-head with the wings 
expanded but the primaries making an angle of 45 degrees 
with the body and covering the secondaries, exactly as many 
Acraeas sun themselves. All the time I was watching this 
first specimen I was quite satisfied that I had got hold of a 
new Acraea, the idea of a Lycaenid in such an attitude and 
position never entering my head. I subsequently took in the 
same spot five others, some of them doing the same thing, 
others on the wing. The flight was less powerful than that 
of Mimacraea marshalli, Trim.” 
Mr. H. H. Druce and Mr. G. T. Beraune-Baker stated 
that the species was entirely new to them. 
An AxpnormaL CoLeopreron.—Mr. Srantey Epwarps ex- 
hibited a specimen of Oxynopterus audowini, a beetle from 
Borneo, with abnormal antennae, apparently gynandromor-
