Hab. Sierra Leone, Old Calabar : Muss. G. & S. and D. 



There seems to have been a good deal of doubt about the 

 identification of this insect until Mr. Butler procured a drawing 

 of the type, whicli he figures. Hewitson afterwards figured 

 the male. 



Tanuetheira prometheus, sp. n. 



^. Allied to T. timon, Fabr., from whicli it differs by 

 having a large bronze-brown, shining, discal spot on the fore 

 wing above and by the shining patch on hind wing being- 

 larger. 



$ scarcely distinguishable from that sex of T. timon, but 

 with somewhat less black at the anal angle of hind wing- 

 above. 



Expanse, ^ 1| to 2\ inches, ? 2 inches. 



Hah. Sierra Leone : type Mus. Druce. 



A distinct species, easily recognized by the bronze discal 

 spot on the primaries. We have two males in our own col- 

 lection, and there is one in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's, 

 which do not vary except in size. 



StugetA, gen. nov. 



Allied to Tajuria, Moore, but differs by having three sub- 

 costal nervules only in both sexes in place of four, as in that 

 genus, and by the apex and outer margin of primaries being- 

 somewhat more rounded. No secondary sexual characters.
