360 On neio Lycjenldse from Tropical Africa. 



It differs from Aslauga by vein G not oiiginaliiig from 

 the end of the cell, consequently the upper discocellular is 

 present. 



There is a specimen, also a female, in the Adams Collection 

 in the British Museum from Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 

 which differs only from the type by being slightly smaller. 



Subfam. Lyc^ninm. 



Pseud ALETis, H. H. Druce. 



Pseudaletis arrhon, sp. n. 



(J. Upperside : fore wing black, with a clearly defined 

 orange band placed obliquely beyond the cell, commencing as 

 a point on the costa and gradually widening towards the 

 termen, which it does not quite reach. In the cell, at the 

 end, is a quadrate orange spot, and at the base another, 

 triangular, which bears a small round black spot. The costa 

 between the band and the quadrate spot is laved with orange, 

 and there is a narrow orange streak on vein 1 from the base. 

 Hind wing orange, with the costa, except at the base, termen, 

 and dorsum unevenly black ; the abdominal fold pale orallg^^ 

 At the anal angle close to the margin is a row of three pure 

 white dots. On the costa about the middle there is a large 

 curved, black, pointed, dentate marking which projects into 

 the orange area. There are two black filamentary tails. 

 Underside paler than above. Fore wing marked as on upper- 

 side, but the dorsum is narrowly white from tiie base for 

 about three-fourths of its length, and the orange streak on 

 vein 1 is wanting. The hind wing is almost entirely orange; 

 the black dentate marking bears a central white line ; the 

 apex is slightly fuscous, and there is a subterminal black 

 line: Vein 1 bears an indistinct brown line for the whole of 

 its length. At the anal angle are several white spots over- 

 laid with silver. Cilia of both wings black. Head and anal 

 tuft orange. Antennae black ringed with white; thorax 

 black; abdomen black, with white rings. Legs brown. 



Expanse 41 mm. 



Type Mus. Druce. 



Hab. Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 feet, wet season, 

 May 1912 {G. L. Bates). 



Appears to be quite distinct from any other described 

 species in the genus. 



I hope shortly to be able to publish coloured figures of the 

 four insects herein described.
