spicuous, very irregular, of 8 elongate spots touching each 
other and edged with blackish (which is suffiised exteriorly) ; 
the 4th and oth each of 7 separated sagittiform spots, 
the outermost row corresponding with that on hind margin 
of forewing ; a spot at extremity of cell. Antennae 
ringed alternately Avith black and Avhite. 
This very singidar little butterfly has no very near ally 
that is known to me. Liptena Lihentlna, Hewitson (^Exot. 
Butt. iii. pi. 60, ff. 8, 9), a native of old Calabar, appears 
to be the most closely related of its congeners, but is very 
much larger, and has a veiy different underside pattern 
and colouring, the apex of the forewings being grey, Avith 
a broad yelloAv bar, and the hindAAangs being red, AA'ith a 
few black spots, and a grey hind-marginal border. 
The only specimen of L. Aslanr/a that I have seen Avas 
sent to me by JNIr. W. INIorant at the end of 1869, AA'ith a 
note that it was taken near PinetoAvn by a resident there. 
Mr. Morant at the same time AATote that he had himself 
captured an example, on 19th ]\Iay, 1869, in his garden 
at that place, and that it flcAV far higher and more strongly 
than Pentila tropicalis.
