*' Giant Azure Blue (Admiral?). Very rarely met with, 

 and almost impossible to take unless when indulging its foul 

 appetite for putrid flesh or excrement. This specimen I took 

 feeding on leopard's excrement at the side of the path in 

 open forest" {R. C).

8. Panopea heliogenes^ sp. n. 



The largest species of the P. lucretia group hitherto 

 received : in form nearest to P. protracta, in pattern nearer to 

 P. expansa, but the arched belt across the centre of the 

 primaries narrower, more nearly approaching that of P. como- 

 rana ; this and the subapical macular band pale buff, but the 

 submarginal spots on all the wings nearly pure white ; the 

 patch at centre of inner margin of primaries and the whole 

 central area of secondaries buff, washed with deep ochreous; 

 the veins crossing the ochreous area partly white and partly 

 black : body black, boldly spotted with snow-white ; under 

 surface very similar to P. protracta, but altogether yellower. 



Expanse of wings 90 millim. 

 ? , Deep Bay, west coast of Lake Nyasa, Feb. 7th, 1895.
