412 On Three new Butterflies. 



Family Erycinidae. 



Euselasia toppini, E. M. Sharpe, sp. n. 



Allied to Euselasia eucritus, He wits., but distinguished 

 by having the basal area of the fore wing purple, and the 

 same colour on the marginal border of the hind wing as in 

 Eurygona gelanor, Cram. ; general colour dark brown. 



The underside is very distinct, having alternate transverse 

 lines of brown and white, with bright orange at the base and 

 on the hind-marginal border of the fore wing. The hind 

 wing is heavily marked with similar transverse lines. The 

 orange patch at the base of the wing relieved by a black 

 spot. On the anal angle the lines are nearly black, with 

 fine lines of white and orange, and near the submedian 

 nervure is a black streak. 



Expanse 1£ inch. 



One specimen only was collected. 



Type in the Natural History Museum. 



Family Pieridae. 



Catasticta toppini, E. M. Sharpe, sp. n. 



This handsome and distinct species is similar to Catasticta 

 tricolor, Butl., but has the band on the fore wing flame- 

 colour, a spot of the same colour being visible near the end 

 of the discoidal cell ; a row of rather minute yellow spots 

 are visible on the brown hind-marginal border, also a small 

 streak of yellow on the inner margin. 



On the hind wing the flame-coloured spots form nearly a 

 band crossing the discal area, and the hastate spots on the 

 hind-marginal border are yellow instead of red as in C. tri- 

 color, a second row of minute yellow spots being visible on 

 the extreme edge of the wing. 



The underside hardly differs from the allied species, with 

 the exception of the flame-coloured spots being very dis- 

 tinctly developed on the fore wing. 



Expanse 2j$ inches. 



Only the one specimen was obtained. 



Type in Natural History Museum.
