tltree teetli on the inner plate of the maxillipeds two are very 

 con?picuous, but tlie innermost small, as sliown by Methuen. 

 For the second gnathopod Methuen gives " coxal plate 

 excavate beliii\d with conical projection." Barnard mentions 

 this as having- specific value in the genus and as excluding 

 the tvi)ical species from T'llitrus. It is, however, found ia 

 T. alluaudi, Chevreux, 1896. Methuen states that the first 

 peifeopod is not quite as long as the second. This, surely, is 

 an accidental reversing of the true relation. For the gre it 

 size of the anterior lobe of the fifth side-plate there is a 

 parallel in T. albiandi. Our specimens show four pairs of 

 setules on the telson, while Methuen's figure shows only two 

 pairs ; but Barnard suppf)se3 that Methuen^s specimens were 

 prohnbly not quite mature. A fine red colour was retained 

 by Mr. Bell-Marley's specimens as received nearly two 

 months after capture. As this is probably a terrestrial 

 species, it is desirable to point nut that in Methuen's notes on 

 distribution the word " depths " has by some mischance' been 

 substituted for "heights" in the quotation from 'Das 

 Tierreich.'

Danainm. 

 Salatura plexippus adnana, nov. 



(^ ?. A local race of pZ^.r?/>/??/5, uniformly smaller ; all the 

 black vein-markings narrower ; the black apical portion of 

 the fore wing broader, consequently the bronzy-red interspace 

 between veins 2 and 3 much shorter; no indication of the 

 small similarly coloured space always present in plexippus in 

 the next upper interspace, just outside the cell-end, and the 

 series of subapical bars all much shorter. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ^\q, ? 3 inches.

IStaudinger refers to this local race in ' Iris,' 1889, p. 28.

 the outer third, the inner two-thirds with a slight blue-black
