 Coast Castle and Kumassi, in January and February [Capt. 

 Hon. Grosvenor Hood). 



The tails to the secondaries of this species bring it nearest 

 to C. patriciaj but the tint of the upper surface separates it 

 from all species known to me, though perhaps most nearly 

 approaching that of G. celceiis, ? ; its female should be very 

 like the latter excepting for the tail. 



Gatochrysops Carsoni, sp. n. 



^ . Allied to G. patricia, the primaries more acute at apex ; 

 the secondaries with a bilunate orange bar enclosing the 

 usual black spots : under surface whity brown, with slightly 

 darker white-edged macular bands, much more uniform in 

 character than in G. patricia^ the white hastate spots on the 

 secondaries reduced in size, merely forming an inner series 

 of white submarginal lunules ; black anal spots with broad 

 united orange zones as above.
