258 Mr. II. Druce's Descriptions of 



The upper part and the sides of the abdomen are ochreolls, but on 

 the under-side of each segment there is a large distinct, white, black- 

 margined spot. There are also white spots on the under-side of the 

 thorax. The legs are black with yellow tufts at the base. 



Antenna? black ; the shafts minutely spotted with white on the 

 under-surface. 



Expanse 2} inch. 



Hab. North-east Rhodesia. October 1903. 



On the under-side this insect has a remarkable Aert&inc 

 appearance, but although the upper-side has a general 

 likeness to that group I know of no species of the genus 

 Acrma which has the large white apex to the fore-wing. 



Ly<'<vnesthcs anadema, sp. nov. (Plate XIII, fig. 6.) 



£ . Allied to L. lasti* Smith and Kirby, but smaller. Upper-side : 

 dark purple with indistinct black marginal spots between the lower 

 median nervules on hind-wing. Under-side : ground colour rather 

 deeper in tone with the whitish chain-like bands less inclined to 

 break up into spots and with their enclosed spaces scarcely darker 

 than the surrounding ground colour. The red spots on the hind- 

 wing, with the exception of the one below the costal nervure near 

 the base, which is entirely absent, are dark, clearly defined, and con- 

 spicuous. The black, yellow-crowned marginal spot placed between 

 the lower median nervules is smaller, as is the orange anal-angular 

 streak. Thorax, abdomen, head and legs as in L. lasti. Cilia on 

 upper-side pale brown, whitish towards tip. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. North-west Rhodesia. 



Can be distinguished by the smaller size and by the 

 absence of the red basal spot on hind-wings below. 



It is also allied to L. hohleyi,f Neave, but that species 

 had a red basal spot and also a red cellular spot in hind- 

 wings. 



Catochrysops pampolis, sp. nov. (Plate XIII, fig. 11.) 



£ . Upper-side : pale opalescent bluish brown with a linear brown 

 margin and brown nervules to both wings ; a slightly darker brown 

 patch at the end of the cell of the fore-wing, containing a still darker 

 streak. A medium-sized round black spot close to the margin of the
