Ashanti. (Obtained 1844, from the Weslevan Missionary Society) 



B.M. 



This species, considered from the description to be the M. Moorei 

 of Felder, is now shown by Mr. Jones's drawings to be closely 

 allied to M. Sanaos of Hewitson, of which it is probably a local 

 form. 



2. Mycalesis Florimel. 



Papilio (S.) Florimel, Fabricius, " alis integerrimis fuscis : subtus 



anticis ocellis duobus, posticis septem : habitat " 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 215. n. 673 (1793). 



Seems to come near M. Xeneas of Hewitson, the apical ocellus of 

 the hind wings being placed at some distance from the other ocelli. 



3. Mycalesis Halyma. 



Papilio (S.) Halyma, Fabricius, " alis dentatis supra fuscis imma- 

 culatis ; subtus pallidis fulvo fasciatis ; anticis ocellis quinque, pos- 

 ticis septem : habitat in Indiis." 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 243. n. 758 (1793). 



Mr. Jones's figure shows this species to be nearly allied to the 

 M. Asocliis of Hewitson, which on the under surface it nearly re- 

 sembles.
