123 On a new Butterfly of the Genus Amauris. 



margin ; the general distribution of these markings, therefore, 

 is similar to that of A. coherta, but their relative proportions 

 are more nearly as in A. lobengula ; the quadrifid spot beyond 

 the cell is, however, different in character from that of all 

 the known species : secondaries browner, sericeous towards 

 anal angle, and with the sexual patch somewhat ill-defined ; 

 an elbowed ochreous belt occupying the basal two fifths and 

 traversed by the black subcostal vein and part of its first 

 branch j a discal irregular series of eleven large ochreous 

 spots, of which the first, sixth, and eighth are distinctly 

 larger than the others ; a nearly marginal series of seven to 

 eight dots in pairs, commencing from the second subcostal 

 vein : body pitchy black-brown, with two white points on the 

 head. Wings below brown, the apical area of the primaries 

 and outer three fifths of the secondaries somewhat olivaceous j 

 all the ochreous markings paler than above, and several addi- 

 tional small spots or dots near to the outer margin in all the 

 wings. 



Expanse of wings 80 millim. 



Two male examples. 



Perhaps the most distinctive characters in this species are 

 the position of the ochreous belt of the secondaries at, instead 

 of a short distance from, the base, the consequent widening 

 of the dark external area, and the great size of the spots of 

 the discal series on these wings, reminding one of Tirumala 

 limniace.
