the Icpidopterous genus Euchromia. 



13. Euchromia splendens, n. s. (PL IV., fig. 4). 

 Differs from the preceding in the blacker colouring of the wings, 

 he absence of the metallic spots between the deep fulvous 

 patches on primaries, the much less distinctly separated fulvous 

 patches on the secondaries, the total absence of all orange or red 

 colouring from the thorax ; this part of the body is jet black, the 

 head, sides of collar, tegulse (excepting the fringes) and a dorsal 

 longitudinal stripe brilliant greenish blue ; the basal abdominal 

 segment is more orange and the fourth segment of a deeper red 

 than in E. fulvida, and all the other segments are brilliant 

 metallic greenish blue, the second and third segments edged with 

 black. Expanse of wings, 49 53 mm. 



Old Calabar to Camaroons. 



14. Euchromia africana, Butler. 



A common African species intermediate to some extent 

 between E. splendens and E. madagascariensis, the 

 secondaries being like those of the former, the primaries 

 and body more nearly resembling the latter species : we 

 have seven examples from Natal, Zululand and Delagoa 

 Bay. 



15. Euchromia madagascariensis, Boisduval. 



Two specimens from Madagascar. The E. amcena of 

 Moeschler, said to have come from Silhet, seems nearly 

 allied to this species. Is it positively certain that the 

 locality is correct? Surely it would 'be in Mr. Moore's 

 vast Indian collection. 



16. Euchromia leonis, Butler. 



The body of this species resembles that of E. splen- 

 dens, the wings, however, are wholly different. We have 

 three specimens from Sierra Leone. 



17. Euchromia sperchius, Cramer. 



This is the E. inter stans of Walker, represented by 

 two examples from Ashanti. 



18. Euchromia horsfieldii, Moore.
