teeth, placed one on the body-whorl between the two mar- 

 gins, one in the centre of the right, and two on the basal 

 margin of the peristome. 

 Two or three specimens. 



Note. — Referring to our last paper in the ' Annals ' for 

 December 1890, we regret that, by an oversight, the name 

 Helix Hiidsonice, Bens., was throughout printed H. Huttom'ce. 



XXVIII. — Descriptions of Tioo new Species of Lycsenida? 

 from West Africa^ in the Collection of Mr. Philip Oromley. 

 By Emily Maey Sharpe. 



Gigaritis delagoensis, sp. n. 



I have been unable to find any description whicli agrees 

 with this species. I therefore venture to describe it as new. 

 There is one specimen in the Natural-History Museum, which 

 is also unnamed. This Museum specimen is slightly larger 

 than the type. 



TJpjperside. Both wings yellowish brown ; hind margin 

 with a very narrow marking of dark brown, the fringe, which 

 is very distinct, being white. On the fore wing there is a 

 slight indication of a small spot at the end of the discoidal 

 cell, rather darker than the ground-colour. The wings have 

 a shiny bronze appearance when looked at laterally. 



Underside. Much paler in colour than tlie upperside. The 

 fore wing is very much spotted with black and silver. In the 

 discoidal cell are three spots, the one near the base of the 

 wing being the smallest and black ; the other two have 

 silvery centres and are outlined by a narrow border of black. 

 Beyond the cell are two rows of black spots, commencing 

 below the subcostal nervure and terminating above the sub- 

 median nervure. Near the hind margin is a complete and 

 distinct row of silver spots. The costal margin is also much 

 spotted with silver. 



Hind wing with alternate rows of darker brown and silver 

 spots, decreasing in size towards the base. 



Exp. 1 inch. 



Ilcd). Delagoa Bay.
