126- Mr. H. G. Smith on neio 



pinkish brown, darker from the base to the middle, the outer 

 edge of this space being fairlj well defined and angulated 

 outwardly on the first and t)iird median nervule. 



Expanse of wings 1| inch. 



Nearest to T. chochares^ Hew. The shape of the anterior 

 wings resembles T. ionia, Eversm., but is more sharply scal- 

 loped on the outer margin of anterior wings, and the posterior 

 wings are more elongate and acuminate at the anal angle 

 than in either of the two last-named species. 



Lihythea ancoata. 



JJ-p-pevside resembles L. cinyras, Trim., from Mauritius, but 

 the spots in the cell and on posterior wings smaller and 

 greyer. It differs from L. Jahdaca, Westw., in the absence of 

 the brownisli-grey patch between the lowest median nervule 

 and submedian nervure on the anterior wings, and on the 

 posterior wings in the band of spots below the cell being 

 very nearly obsolete. On the underside of the anterior 

 wings the brown spaces within the cell are narrower than in 

 either cinyras or lahdaca. On the posterior wings at the 

 lower side of the cell from the base to beyond its end is 

 a somewhat curved greyish-black band followed at the middle 

 of the outer margin by a similar patch of the same colour. 



Expanse of wings li inch. 



Deudorix derona. 



Male. — Uj^perside. Anterior wings dark brown, with an 

 orange-red patch across the middle of the wings to the imier 

 margin ; the upper part extends into the cell towards its end, 

 and its outer and inner edges are somewhat irregular. Pos- 

 terior wings, the inner half dark brown, the remainder of the 

 wings orange-red with a narrow black margin. 



Underside. Anterior wings resemble D. daj'iaves, Hew., but 

 tlie inner edge of the discal band of lines is interrupted. 

 Posterior Avings with three basal red spots narrowly sur- 

 rounded with black and bordered with white, a spot near the 

 middle of the costal margin bordered inwardly with black 

 and margined with white, two interrupted rows of lines 

 bordered inwardly Avitli white, and a submarginal row bordered 

 outwardly with white ; otherwise resembles dariaves, but the 

 wings are more slate-coloured, and less irrorated with white, 

 and above the anal lobe is a rather conspicuous triangular 

 pale grey space bordered with black. 



Female. — UpiJerside. Anterior wings dark grey, centred 

 with a large pale grey patch extending from the cell and
