9 . — The female is much like the male, but larger, and on the secon- 

 daries has the large yellow spot replaced by two or three small circular 

 spots. These spots reappear indistinctly upon the underside. Expanse:

2. 0. (?) fan* sp. nov. (^. Upperside of palpi, head, thorax and 

 abdomen dark brown; lowerside of thorax and abdomen slightly paler 

 brown; legs blackish; the underside of the palpi at the base whitish. The 

 primaries on the upperside are black, crossed from the costa to the sub- 

 median nerve by a broad orange-red mesial band, irregularly dentate 

 inwardly, and irregularly angulated and indented outwardly. The secon- 

 daries on the upperside are dark brown or blackish. The primaries on 

 the underside are as on the upperside, save that the mesial band shades 

 into creamy white in the neighborhood of the submedian nerve, and there 

 are two small white subapical dots near the costa, and another small 

 white dot between the second and third median nervules near the outer 

 margin. The secondaries upon the lowerside are dark fuscous, clouded 

 with darker brown transverse bands and subapical spots. Expanse 30 mm. 



This beautiful species is allied to O.f vibius Hew. The single 

 specimen in my collection is from the Bule country, one hundred 

 miles back from the coast at Great Batanga, in a region about 

 i8oo feet above the level of the sea.

3. P. (?) picaninit sp. nov. (^. — Upperside of head, thorax and abdomen 

 black; lowerside of palpi and pectus broadly white; femora and adjacent 

 parts of thorax grayish; legs black ; lowerside of abdomen blackish. 

 The primaries on the upperside are black. There are some olivaceous 

 hairs at the base. The inner margin at the base is narrowly edged with 

 pale grayish hairs. Just above the outer extremity of this pale streak is 

 a small linear white translucent spot. At the end of the cell are two 

 similar translucent linear spots, and below the cell at the origin of the 

 second median nervule a curved narrow elongated translucent white spot. 

 There are three small translucent submarginal spots nearer the cell than 

 the margin, two of them approximating each other, located one on either 

 side of the third median nervule near its origin. The uppermost of the 

 three is located beyond the end of the cell. The secondaries are black 

 on the upperside, like the primaries, with a grayish ray extending from 

 the base for a short distance along the submedian nerve. There is a 

 transverse macular band beyond the cell, consisting of three or four spots, 

 the two outer spots being pure white, the inner spots bemg obscured by 

 grayish hair. There are one or two small obscure spots near the anal
