Mr. A. G. Butler on Madagascar Lepidoptera. 335 



slightly larger, black with white pupils. Expanse of wings 

 1 inch 7 lines. 



Callyphthima, gen. nov. 



Allied to Pseudonympha and Ypthima, but the male with 

 more prolonged subangulated primaries, the female with 

 broader and consequently less evidently subangulated prima- 

 ries than in the male : the secondaries distinctly longer than 

 in the above-mentioned genera, with a distinct abdominal 

 angle forming a feebly pronounced anal lobe ; palpi larger 

 and much more hairy. Type C. Wardii. 



7. Callyphthima Wardii. 

 2 • Pseudonympha Wardii, Butler, Cist. Ent. ii. p. 390 (1879). 



S • Smaller than the female, and altogether darker on both 

 surfaces. Expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 

 This species appears to be not uncommon. 



8. Ypthima rakoto. 



JErcbia rakoto, Ward, Ent. Month. Mag. vii. p. 30 (1870). 

 This species is extremely close to Y. Vinsonii, but smaller 

 and with the disk of primaries below less distinctly greyish 

 white ; the ocelli on the under surface of secondaries are placed 

 one on the first median interspace and the other on the supe- 

 rior subcostal interspace in both of our examples. 



9. Ypthima Batesii. 



Ypthima Batesii, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. iii. tab. 68. figs. 10, 11 

 (1867). 



A female example, thus placing the distinctness of Y. 

 niveata beyond a doubt. 



10. Mycalesis jperdita. 



Mycalesis perdita, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. ii. p. 283. 

 n. 2 (1878). 



11. Mycalesis bicristata 1 ? 



Mycalesis bicristata, Mabille, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, vol. iii. p. 81 

 (1878). 



I have to thank Mr. Moore for lending me a copy of the 

 memoir in which this species is described. 



Nymphaiinjs. 



12. Char axes cinadon. 

 Charaxes cinadon, Hewitson, Ent. Month. Mag. vi. p. 177 (1870). 



A pair of this fine species, somewhat damaged.
