142 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species o/" Agaristidse. 



a black anal tuft : primaries below black ; a white subcosta 

 litura at base ; a large ochreous spot near base of cell ; a 

 broad internal testaceous streak ; an irregular transverse 

 ochreous band ; subaiml spot and suba])ical spot as .above : 

 secondaries as above: body black, spotted with white; legs 

 black, varied with orange, and dotted with white. 



Expanse of wungs 3 inches 2 lines. 



cJ, Zoolu [Ajigas) ; ? , Natal (Owinzi'm). Type, B.M. 



The above is the E. ctij^hemia, var. 8, of Walker's ' List.' 

 It and the two following may be at once distinguished from 

 E. euphemia (iiTcspective of other characters) by the white- 

 spotted prothorax ; in E. euphemia the prothorax is orange, 

 longitudmally streaked with black. 



9. EtLsemia africanaj n. sp. 



Nearly allied to E. euphemia^ from which it may be at 

 once distinguished by the single large central ochreous spot 

 on basal area, extending from the costal to the submedian 

 ner\Tire, and the white-spotted prothorax. 



Expanse of wnngs 2 inches 8 lines. 



cJ, D'Urban, Feb. 1867 {Trimen) ; S ? , Natal ( 6^enzez« 

 <j& Gooch) ; c?, Zoolu {Angas). T}^De, B.M. 



The example from Zoolu is rather smaller than the Natal 

 form. This species is the E. euphemia^ var. 7, of Walker's 

 ' List,' and is the southern representative of that species, 

 which we have from the coast of Guinea, Ashanti, and the 

 White Nile. 



10. Eusemia ochracea, n. sp. 



$ . xVllied to E. euphemia^ but smaller ; the wings shorter ; 

 the subbasal spots of primaries broader ; the subapical elon- 

 gated spot rather nearer to the apex, and not notched internally; 

 the secondaries bright ochreous, with the usual black border ; 

 the prothorax dotted with white. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches 2 lines. 



Congo {Bicharchon). Type, B.M. 



I have seen the male of this species in Mr. Stretch's col- 

 lection ; it is the E. euphemia, var. e, of Walker's * List.' 



11. Eusemia tricolor, n. sp. 



? . Allied to E. hesperoides : wings above dark brown ; 

 primaries with a central, oblique, creamy-whitisli band, taper- 

 ing from the subcostal nervure near end of cell to near the 

 external angle, diffused internally from the median nervure
