Lepidoptera from Ahyssinia. 485 



Castalius cretosus, n. sp. 



Allied to C. calice ? , but the chalky white area forming a 

 broad band throngh the wings ; primaries with tliree white 

 spots beyond the band, the central one considerably the largest; 

 secondaries with two linear transverse white spots immediately 

 below the central band, and three, submarginal, near the anal 

 angle : wings below quite different from C. calice, white, 

 with two oblique basal black bands, interrupted at costa of 

 secondaries, as in C. ro.ru.<i ; an irregular submarginal black 

 band, beyond which is a series of black spots, irrorated A^ith 

 steel-blue towards anal angle of secondaries ; a very irregular 

 internipted discal black band ; outer margin black, fringe 

 grey ; tail black, tipjjed with white ; primaries with the 

 discal band interrupted at the second median branch, and 

 throwing out a fork on upper discoidal interspace ; secondaries 

 with the discal band broken into tliree parts, which lie close 

 to the submarginal band, the uppermost division consisting of 

 two contiguous black spots. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. 



In the pattern of tlie upper surface this species is inter- 

 mediate between C. calice ? and C. carana ; but below it is 

 like no other described species. 



Treclinje, Butler. 

 Deudorix anta ^J , Trimen. 



There is a female Deudorix, in poor condition, which is 

 nearly allied to D. anta, but is of a bright blue colour above 

 and wants the black spots on the under surface of secondaries. 

 Can it be a form of the female of that species ? 



Hypolyccena philij^pus ? , Fabricius, =Iolaus orejus, Hopffer. 



Papilionidae. 



PiEEiN^, Bates. 



Terias senegalensis, Boisd. 

 Common. 



Terias hisinuata, n. sp. 



Allied to T. hrenda. Sulphur-yellow : primaries with the 

 outer border dark brown, bisinuated, extremely broad at apex 

 80 as to form a large subquadrate apical patch ; otherwise 

 narrow, with a feeble projection below the first median branch ; 

 nervures of secondaries terminating in black dots : wings 

 below slightly ])aler yellow, nervures of all the wings termi- 

 nating in black dots ; primaries with a rather wide transverse
