This is also in the Hewitson collection ; it certainly 

 belongs to the T. ada (not T. hippo group), both sexes being 

 at once distinguishable from T. andrea. 



21. Tachyris Dohertiella, sp. n. 



A very distinct little species ; male milk-white, the costa 

 bluish grey, browner on the costal border ; apex and outer 

 border occupied by a black-brown band, with acutely 

 dentated inner margin ; no subapical spot : secondaries with 

 a rather narrow and tolerably regular black-brown border 

 on a faintly blue-greyish ground from apex to below second 

 median branch ; frii]ge brown : bod)^ rather greyer than in 

 any of the preceding species. Primaries with the costal border 

 excepting at base chocolate-brown, continuous with the outer 

 border, which is nuicii broader than above, blackish inter- 

 nally, with much less dentated irregularly sinuated inner 

 margin : secondaries slightly nacreous, with the outer border 

 chocolate-brown and broader than above : body below white. 



Expanse of wings 55 millim. 



? . Primaries dark brown, blackish towards apex ; two 

 narrow superposed creamy-yellowish streaks beyond the 

 cell ; an irregular white patch from just above second median 

 branch to inner margin, its inner edge diffused, its outer edge 

 acutely zigzag : secondaries with a smoke-grey basal patch ; 

 a moderately broad dark brown outer border on a pale 

 brownish ground from apex to just beyoiid second median 

 branch. Primaries below witii the pale markings of the upper 

 surface extended ; the base and lower two thirds of the 

 discoidal cell whitish : secondaries nacreous, the outer border 

 paler and much wider than above.

Keceived from the Godman and Salviii collection. 



22. Tachyris tiinorensis, sp. n. 



^. Very like 2\ lyncida, but with the black-brown outer 

 borders distinctly broader, less irregular, the subapical spot 

 sometimes reduced to a short narrow streak. 



Expanse of wings 54-60 millim. 



? . Very like T. Dohertiella, but the creamy streaks beyond
