Ilab. Sierra Leone, Old Calabar : Mus.s. G. & S. and D. 



There seems to have been a good deal of doubt about the 

 identification of this insect until Mr. Butler procured a drawing 

 of the type, which he figures. Hewitson afterwards figured 

 tiie male. 



Tanuetheira prometheus, sp. n. 



jj. Allied to T. timon, Fabr., from which it differs by 

 having a large bronze-brown, shining, discal spot on the fore 

 wing above and by the shining patch on hind wing being 

 larger. 



? scarcely distinguishable from that sex of 7\ timon, but 

 with somewhat less black at the anal angle of hind wing 

 above. 



Expanse, ^ 1^ to 2^ inches, ? 2 inches. 



Hab. Sierra Leone : type Mus. Druce. 



A distinct species, easily recognized by the bronze discal 

 spot on the primaries. We have two males in our own col- 

 lection, and there is one in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's, 

 which do not vary except in size. 



Stugeta, gen. nov. 



Allied to Tajuria, Moore, but differs by having three sub- 

 costal nervules only in both sexes in place of four, as in that 

 genus, and by the apex and outer margin of primaries being 

 somewhat more rounded. No secondary sexual characters.
