upon the underside, and in addition there is an irregularly curved series 

 of five small black spots extending from the costa to the second median 

 interspace, and a very faint subapical series of four small spots on this 

 wing. The secondaries have a small black spot at the base, one at the 

 middle, and another at the end of the cell; one below the cell on the first 

 median interspace and one above the cell before the middle of the costa; 

 in addition a submarginal series of eight spots parallel to the outer mar- 

 gin. There is a very faint marginal black line on both the primaries and 

 secondaries, and the fringe, which is grayish, is checked at the end of the 

 nervules with black. 



$.— The female is marked very much as the male, but has a submar- 

 ginal series of spots upon the upper and lower sides of both wings. In 

 one example before me the black apical band of the primaries is reduced 

 to a mere fringe. Expanse: (J\ 35 mm.; 9, 38 mm. 



I/ad. — Gaboon and Kang\v6. 



I was inclined to refer this form to amenaida Hew., but it dif- 

 fers constantly in having the border, w-hich is very wide in amen- 

 aida, restricted to a mere line upon the secondaries and the outer 

 angle of the primaries, and not having as many markings upon 

 the primaries. It may be a local race of Hewitson's species.

4. D. mapongna sp. nov. (J'. — Allied to D. {pse7ideresia) variegata S. 

 and K. Upperside: The upperside is red, with costa, apex and outer 

 margin of both wings broadly black. In addition, upon the primaries 

 there are three or four broad and obscure spots near the base fusing with 

 each other. The secondaries have a small black spot below the cell near 

 the inner margin. Underside: The underside is prevalently gray. There 

 is a large black spot at the end of the cell upon the primaries and a sub- 

 apical series of four quadrate crimson spots margined internally by black, 

 and between this black margin and the black spot at the end of the cell, 

 a broad transverse limbal band of orange-red, running from the subcostal 

 region to the outer angle, where it fades into white. The secondaries 

 have two minute black spots near the base followed by a band of crimson 

 marks crossing the cell, below which, and at the end of which, there are 

 two large black marks. These are followed by a curved submarginal 

 series of six crimson spots heavily margined inwardly and lightly mar- 

 gined externally by black. The primaries and secondaries have a narrow 

 marginal black line, and the fringes, which are gray, are checked witli 

 black at the ends of the nervules. Expanse 30 mm.

I compared this species with the specimens in the collection of 

 Mr. H. G. Smith, and showed it alsp to Mr. Kirby, and they 

 agree with me in pronouncing it distinct from any species known 

 to them.
