 LycaBiiidge. By Hamilton H. C. J. Druce, F.E.S., 

 F.Z.S. 



Pseuderesia Oordoni, sp. n. 



(? . Upperside : fore wing uniform dull blackish brown, 

 with a rather narrow reddish- orange streak along the inner 

 margin, commencing beyond the base and extending beyond 

 the middle : hind wing uniform reddish orange, with the 

 anal and outer margins only to the apex broadly and evenly 

 blackish brown. 



Underside : fore wing, ground-colour dull blackish brown, 

 paler along the outer margin ; two reddish spots in the cell, a 

 rather broad reddish band beyond extending from the costa to 

 the median nervure ; the costal margin is dusted with reddish 

 scales towards the base : hind wing with irregular alternate 

 broken bands of orange and brown from the base to beyond 

 the middle, when the ground-colour becomes at first darker 

 and then paler towards the margin. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen brown above, abdomen paler 

 below ; legs minutely spotted with buff. 



Expanse 1§ inch. 



Hah. W. Africa, near Benin City, 3rd June, 1902. Type 

 in Mus. Hope, Oxford. 



I have named this species after Mr. C. J. M. Gordon, 

 B.A., of Balliol College, who captured it and presented it to 

 the museum. It is not very closely allied to any other 

 described species in the genus, but is perhaps nearest to 

 P. isca, Hew. 



Larinopoda brenda, sp. n. 



(^ . Allied to L. lagyra, Hew. ; scarcely differs on the 

 U])perside, but the black anteciliary line on hind wings does 

 not appear thickened at the extremity of each nervule. 



Underside differs from that of L. lagyra by having a sub- 

 marginal row of somewhat triangular brownish spots on the 

 hind wing commencing below the big spot near the apex and 

 extending to the anal angle, situated in the internervular 

 spaces ; towards the anal angle the margin is clouded with 

 pale brown. As in L. lagyra, there is no black spot in the 

 cell and the m.iuute dot on the nervule closing the cell is 

 present. 



Expanse 1§ inch.
