New Species of Lepidoptera, chiefly Lycaenidae. 463 
very fine grey postmedian line to vein 2, a very large patch of 
black sex hairs from the inner marginal lobe. Secondaries with a 
fine distinct dark grey postmedian line, consisting of curved inter- 
nervular dashes more or less confluent below vein 2 angled and 
receding to the inner margin, a yellowish submarginal line, a black 
spot in orange between veins 2 and 3, and another spot on the anal 
lobe surrounded with carmine and with broad red internal. edging 
and also with a trace of mauve metallic scaling. 
2. Upperside, primaries with the black area smaller in pro- 
portion and the blue area much less brilliant and paler fading into 
whitish at its outer margin. Secondaries with the blue as in the 
primaries not lustrous and much paler, and with three small 
marginal anal black spots with orange internal edging. Underside, 
both wings as in the male but the markings more definite. 
Expanse ¢ 38, 9 42 mm. 
Hab. Moor Plantation, near Ibadan, 8. Nigeria. 
Types in the Oxford Museum, 2 479. All were bred 
from larvae feeding on flowers of Loranthus incanus 
parasitic on Funtunua elastica (see pp. 362-63). 
Deudorix odana H. H. Druce. 
2. Upperside, both wings dull lavender grey with broad dusky 
external margins. Underside, just like the male but whiter. 
Expanse 44-46 mm. 
Two examples, bred by Farquharson at Moor Plantation. 
There appear to be two forms of this species in both 
sexes. In the Farquharson specimens the undersides are 
white, the females even whiter than the males. On the 
upperside the Farquharson females are grey. In my own 
collection the under surface of the male is dark grey, 
whilst my two females are uniformly brown above and pale 
stone-grey beneath, the pattern in both cases being typical. 
My specimens are from Sierra Leone and the Cameroons. 
[After hearing of the above-described variation in 
colour, I sent two of the most divergent of Lamborn’s 
males from Oni to Mr. Bethune-Baker, who compared 
the armatures with those of his own forms and found all 
precisely the same.—H.B.P.] 
I have been unable to find any record of a description 
of the females of this and the two following species, and 
as there are specimens of all, bred with their males by 
Farquharson at Moor Plantation, near Ibadan, 8. Nigeria 
(see pp. 378, 381), it is well to make the record.
