20 On new Species of Nynvphalidian Rhopalocera. 



anali coenileo-albidis nigro cinetis, linea submarginali nigra : pos- 

 tica3 ocellis septem nigris albido pupillatis ; stria submarginali 

 lunulari nigra, striola superna anali cffiruleo-albida : corpus 

 fuscum.

Hah. Island of Tologa. Coll. Druce. 



Belongs to the Pandarus gi'oup, and would, according to 

 Mr. Hewitson's views, be a local variation of that species. I 

 have not, however, seen any indication of such links between 

 the several well-marked forms of the Pandarus group as are to 

 be met with in the case of {Lasmassa) Bolina* (though even here 

 I am not at present satisfied that we have only one species). 

 The present species comes nearest to the insect figured by Mr. 

 Hewitson (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, pi. 54. fig. 2), but difi'ers, 

 upon the upperside, in the ferruginous band and ocellus o^ the 

 front wings, the darker margin and absence of internervular 

 white spots in the hind wings. 



Genus EOMAL^OSOMA, Blanchard. 

 6. RomalcEOSoma Crockeri^ sp. nov. PI. IX. fig. 6. 

 Cyparissa, Doubleday (nee Cramer). 



S 2 . Ala3 supra nigrse, area basali caerulescente ; disco virescente, 

 puncto anticis apicali albo ; area anali posticis purpurascente : 

 corpus cinereum, palpis fulvis. 



Alte siibtus ochreo virescentes ; maculis marginalibus inter venas 

 geminatis nigris, margine ipso fuscescente : anticse maculis tribus 

 discoideis basalibus, nonnuUisque disco-discoideis fasciam formanti- 

 bus nigris fuscistpie ; area interna fuscescente : posticae area costali 

 persicaria maculis sub septem mediis serie annulari positis nigris ; 

 area inclusa virescente ; area anali flave:-cente ; ciliis omnibus 

 albidis : corpus ochraceo-fulvum vel fulvo -cinereum ; antennis 

 nigris, fulvo clavatis. 



Exp. alar, c^ unc. 2, lin. 10 ; $ unc. 3, lin. 4. 



Hah. Ashanti : c? ? ? B.M. ; S , Coll. Swanzy. 

 (J ? . Purchased from tlie Collection of the Wesleyan Mis- 

 sionary Society. 



? . Presented by E. Doubleday, Esq. 



This species has long stood in the National Collection as 

 the Cyparissa of Cramer ; the latter, however, is identical with 

 the Cato of Fabricius. I have named it after Mr. Crocker, a 

 gentleman acting as agent for Mr. Swanzy on the Gold Coast, 



* The East-Indian (Moulmein &c.) form of tliis species represents the 

 true Bolina of Clerck and Linnajus ; the Bolina of recent authors will 

 have to take the name Misipjn/s, applied by Linnoeus to the female of 

 that species.
