 an irregular marginal series, more or less confluent, of six 

 spots. 



? . Primaries with the median and inner marginal areas 

 orancve-yellow, with black spots in the cell and the costa and 

 termen black. Secondaries as in the nude, but the yellow 

 extended right across the wing on to the inner margin, and 

 two or three spots near the anal angle. Underside as in the 

 male, but with the yellow markings much cnipiuisized, 

 especially in the primaries.

It has been very difficult to decide whether this species 

 should be referred to the genus Liptena or Micropentiht, the 

 neuration of each being similar ; tlie general a))pearance and 

 the underside pattern lit in, perhaps, Ijetter witii the latter 

 than the former. There is little question that the Lii)teniiia3 

 are in need of considerable revision. 



Epitola sulalha^ sp. n. 



? . Both wings blackish, with blue areas. Primaries with 

 the blue area extending from the base to just beyond the cell 

 and to the inner margin ; at the end of the cell there is a 

 trace of a whitish spot. Secondaries with the blue area from 

 the base between veins 2 and 6 to well beyond the end of 

 the cell. Under surface : both wings white, spotless and 

 without marks or lines except the subterminal grey lunulated 

 line, edged externally Vjy a line grey line.

This species is allied closely to nifide, H. H. D., but I

^ . Primaries : the blue of the ordinary form of kirhyi is 

 changed into a very pale metallic green and is more restricted 

 in area. Secondaries with the blue of kirbiji changed into 

 white, over which there is a restricted area of very pale 

 metallic green in the cell and very slightly beyond and ou 

 the fold, i. e.^ around vein.s 1 and 2 ; the underside of the 

 secondaries is also much whiter.
