102 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera 
small oval bipupillated black ocellus with stramineous iris and 
dusky zone. Wings below quite different from Y. s¢mplicta, 
the general tint being a pale granite-grey colour densely 
mottled with olivaceous grey ; the primaries, however, except- 
ing towards the apex, are suffused with smoky grey, the ocellus 
is a little larger than above; on the secondaries there are four 
widely separated minute oval ocelli (only visible with a lens, 
though perfectly formed), two towards apex and two towards 
anal angle. Expanse of wings 34 millim.

2. Hypolimnas alcippoides, sp. n. 
Nearly allied to H. mzsippus (both sexes of which we have 
from Sierra Leone and Madagascar), but with the inner or 
abdominal margin of the secondaries in both sexes longer ; 
these wings in the female with the whole of the disk snow- 
white, as in Salatura aleippus. Expanse of wings, ¢ 76 
millim., 2 74 millim.

A second form of female, which although differing somewhat 
from H. ‘narva must, I think, be a small race of that species, 
cecurs also in the same locality. 
This is another instance of a Lepidopterous insect scarcely 
distinguishable in the male sex from its nearest ally, whereas 
the female can be separated at a glance; there is little doubt 
that eventually the male will have inherited enough of the 
characters acquired for the protection of the female to be more 
readily distinguished, as in the case of the various local races 
of Papilio merope, the males of which, though very similar, 
do differ in pattern. In the present instance, where the colour- 
ing of Salatura chrysippus has been exchanged for that of S. 
alcippus in the female, that of the male still remains in its 
normal state. 
3. Telchinia nero, sp. n. 
9. Pale smoky brown above, the wings with black borders 
a little broader than in 7. oncea, the apex of the primaries 
being especially broadly bordered; numerous black spots 
arranged exactly as in J. oncea; secondaries with a sub- 
marginal band, trom the radial to the submedian vein, of four 
snow-white quadrate spots, only separated by the nervures. 
Under surface like 7. oncea. Expanse of wings 52 millim.

4, Telchinia perrupta, sp. n. 
Allied to 7. manjaca of Madagascar, but the male differing
