Hub. Ninay Yalley, Dutch New Guinea, 3000 ft. {A, E. 

 Pratt) . 



Type in my collection. 



Chrysopsyclie jacksoni, B-B. 



I described this species in this Magazine for the year 1911, 

 p. 563, having before me a series of fifteen specimens i'rom 

 Entebbe (Uganda). At a later date I was overhauling some 

 of this genus and its allies, and I was struck by the fact that I 

 had nothing but males, whilst in the same collection from 

 the same place 1 had a series o£ twenty-one females of 

 a species very closely allied to Lechriolepis variety Wlk. 

 These I have no doubt are the females of my species ^ac/tso/i?, 

 but they are so close to the female of varia that I had at first 

 named them so. Walker's species is, however, rather larger 

 and the markings are redder, but the males are very different. 



Varia is, however, a Chrysopsyche, not a Lechriolepis.
