BUTTERFLIES, MOTHS, AND BEETLES 319 



(M) The Hon. Walter Rothschild has very kindly sent me, 

 October 1898, the description of two new species of 

 lepidoptera (a butterfly and a moth), which I captured 

 in Unyoro and at the Eldoma Ravine respectively : — 



Kalliuia ansorgei Rothsch., sp. nov. (Plate I. fig. i). 



Forewing more produced at apex than in rumina, hindwing 

 with a long tail, slightly curved inwards. 



Upperside : forewing, basal two-thirds plumbeous blue- 

 green, metallic, this area evenly and slightly convex outwardly ; 

 a narrow indistinct band from costal margin to vein 3, where 

 it approaches the metallic area, pale brown covered with metallic 

 blue-green scaling ; interspace between this band and metallic 

 area black, rest of marginal region dark brown, a series of 

 indistinct dots, the uppermost of which has a white dot at its 

 discal side, and a submarginal, indistinct, narrow band blackish- 

 brown. Hindwing, basal two-thirds as on forewing ; marginal 

 area brown, with a blackish-brown submarginal band ; between 

 veins 2 and 3 there is an oblong eye-spot of 2 and 3 mm. width, 

 consisting of an outer ochraceous ring that encircles an out- 

 wardly black, discally brown-red space with a minute blue 

 centre ; a smaller eye-spot behind vein 2. 



Underside : blackish broccoli-brown, powdered over with 

 single white scales. Forewing, 4 undulate lines in cell, a fifth 

 upon disco-cellulars, another beyond, 2 lines behind cell, and 

 a zigzag line from costal to inner margin, 14 mm. distant from 

 apex of wing and 10 mm. from tip of vein ib ; a series of small 

 post-discal black dots with white centres, the one between veins 

 2 and 3 forming nearly an eye-spot ; a series of thin, small, 

 more or less curved, black submarginal spots. Hindwing, an 

 indistinct undulate line from costal margin across middle of 

 cell to vein ib ; a distinct narrow band straight across the 

 disc from costal margin (9 mm, from the tip of vein 8) to tail, 

 consisting of a black line thinly bordered with pale blue and 

 green proximally, shaded at both sides with dark brown ; post- 

 discal spots as on forewing, surrounded with paler scaling, 

 nearly forming eye-spots, the spot behind vein 3 as large as 

 above, much paler, with a pale ochraceous centre ; submarginal
