some new species of Diurnal Lepidoptera 253 



Spalgis lemolea, H. H. Druce, known from the Gambia. 

 Lycxncstlics adhcrhal, Mabille, L. lasti, S. and K., L. liodes, 

 Hew., L. crawshayi, Butl., L. dcjina, Butl., and L. 

 monteironis, Kirby, agreeing exactly with the type in the 

 Hewitson collection.* 



Uranothauma autinorii, Oberth., U. falhenstcinii, 

 Dewitz, and a large series of U. pogyei, Dewitz, showing 

 scarcely any variation. Gastalius hintza, Trimen, C. calice, 

 Hopff., and 0. melsena, Trimen. Catoehrysops glauca, 

 Trimen, a good series, C. peculiaris, Rogenh., and the giant 

 C. stormsi, Robbe. 



I recognize in all about sixty species, including the new 

 forms hereafter described. 



Liptena cukrines, sp. nov. (Plate XIII, fig. 7.) 



,1; . Allied to L. prsestans, Grose Smith, f from which it differs on 

 the upper-side by the black costal margin on the primaries being 

 broken beyond the end of the cell, and projecting downwards, thus 

 freeing the black apex ; the outer margin has only a linear black 

 edge and the secondaries are unmarked excepting at the base of the 

 cilia, where there appears to be a very narrow black line. Under- 

 side : primaries differ from those of L. praestans, as on upper-side ; 

 secondaries, ground colour pale grey dusted with brown and crossed 

 by numerous broken bands composed of irregular brown spots. 



Head black ; eyes ringed with white ; legs yellowish ; abdomen 

 yellowish above, grey beneath ; antennae white-ringed, with black 

 clubs. 



Expanse 1^ inch. 



Hob. North-east Rhodesia. 



Three specimens showing no variation. This species 

 agrees in venation with L. libyssa, Hew. J ; the upper 

 radial on fore-wing originating at end of cell a.s in that 

 species. It has close superficial resemblance to Teriomima. 



* Since the above was written, Mr. Bethune-Baker lias shown me 

 M. Mabille's type of L. adherbal, and pointed out that it is identical 

 with L. monteironfis, Kirby, and has priority. With this conclusion 

 I quite agree. The species I have in this paper referred to as L. 

 adherbal should be known as L. lunulata, Trimen.
