I have named this beautiful little species after a member 

 ot Mr. fewanzj s family recently married. 



Genus CiGAEiTis, Lucas. 



Cigaritis Amine, n. sp. (PI. XI. figs. 1, 2.) 



Wings above glossy brown; primaries with a minute 

 spot near end of cell, and a double series of five spots 

 beyond the end, orange ; external third orange, very irre- 

 gular internally, cut through the middle by a brown un- 

 dulated band, adhering to which externally is a series of 

 six black submarginal spots; margin black, fringe sprinkled 

 with orange ; secondaries with external two-fifths orange, 

 very irregular internally; two submarginal internervular 

 series of black spots ; veins terminating in marginal black 

 points; fringe brown, two slender short black tails as 

 usual: body above brown, abdomen orange at the sides; 

 antenna black, annulated with white; primaries below 

 with the costa and outer margin broadly orange; the 

 remaining area pale buff, crossed by black nervures inter- 

 rupted by four irregular transverse black-edged orange 

 bands, and spangled with silver; a terminal, brown, silver- 

 spangled line dividing it from outer marginal border ; a 

 submai-ginal row of black spots ; nervures terminating in 

 a marginal series of black dots ; fi.-inge broAvn ; secondaries 

 orange, crossed by three irregular buff bands, cut by the 

 black nervures, the basal one forking above subcostal ncr- 

 vure, the second sigmoidal, the third arched, joining the 

 second at each extremity ; base of the wing and the outer 

 edges of the second and third bands spangled wdth silver ; 

 a submarginal series of black spots ; nervures terminating 

 in a marginal series of black dots ; fi-inge brown, tail 

 black: body below whitish: expanse of wings 1 in. 4 hn. 



Unlike any described species in colouring; on the 

 underside it reminds one of Melitmt theana and Fynjus 

 mohozutza, but the colouring is brighter ; and tlie silvery 

 spangling gives it a brilliancy not surpassed by Zeritis.
