Descriptions of new Species of Planema in the Collection of 

 the British Museum. By A. G. BUTLER, Ph.D. &c. 



WHILST recently rearranging the Museum collection of 

 AcrceincB of the Old World, and incorporating the fine series 

 presented by Messrs. Godman and Salvin, I came upon the 

 following undescribed species of Planema : 



Planema Salvim, sp. n. 



Nearest to P. camerum'caj the male with the discoidal area 

 of primaries, the area below the cell, and the band crossing 

 the centre of the wing golden orange instead of tawny ; the 

 transverse band itself more regular, especially along its outer 

 margin ; secondaries with the basal spots arranged as in 

 P. formosa and followed by a diffused whitish band, more 

 distinctly white on the under surface : the female chiefly 

 differing from that sex of P. camerunica in the much less ir- 

 regular inner edging of the white belt on the primaries (which 

 is less distinctly continued below the first median branch) 

 and its less prominent external angle, so that the deep-brown 

 apical area is broader in this species : the secondaries much 

 more nearly resemble those of the female of P. formosa^ but 

 the white belt across them is broader and more diffused. 

 Expanse of wings, $ 75 millim., $ 93 millim. 



Fernando Po and Cameroons (from the Godman & Salvin 

 Collection). 



The natural position of this species is undoubtedly between 

 P. formosa and P. camerunica. 



Planema Godmani, sp. n. 



Allied to P. camerunica and P. alcinoe ; the male has almost 

 the same pattern on the primaries as the latter species, 

 excepting that the inner blackish edging of the central band 

 is usually almost wholly lost, so that these wings become
