Hob. Island of Tologa. Coll. Drace. 



Belongs to the Pandarus group, and would, according to 

 Mr. Hewitson's views, be a local variation of that species. I 

 have not, however, seen any indication of such links between 

 the several well-marked forms of the Pandarus group as are to 

 be met with in the case of (Lasinassa) Boiina* (though even here 

 I am not at present satisfied that we have only one species). 

 The present species comes nearest to the insect figured by Mr. 

 HeAvitson (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1858, pi. 54. fig. 2), but differs, 

 upon the upperside, in the ferruginous band and ocellus of the 

 front wings, the darker margin and absence of internervular 

 white spots in the hind wings. 



Genus BOMALuEOSOMA, Blanchard. 

 6. Romalo3osoma Crockeri, sp. nov. PI. IX. fig. 6. 

 Cyparissa, Doubleday (nee Cramer). 



S 2 • -^ ae supra nigrse, area basali cserulescente ; disco vircscente, 

 puncto anticis apicali albo ; area anali posticis purpurascente : 

 corpus cinereum, palpis fulvis. 



Alee subtus ochreo virescentes ; maculis marginalibus inter venas 

 geminatis nigris, margine ipso fuscescente : anticse maculis tribus 

 discoidcis basalibus, nonnullisque disco-discoideis faseiam formanti- 

 bus nigris fuscisque ; area interna fuscescente : posticoe area costali 

 persicaria maculis sub septem mediis scrie anmdari positis nigris ; 

 area inclusa virescente ; area anali flavescente ; ciliis omnibus 

 albidis : corpus ochraceo-fulvum vel fulvo -cinereum ; antennis 

 nigris, fulvo clavatis.

This species has long stood in the National Collection as 

 the Cyparissa of Cramer ; the latter, however, is identical with 

 the Cato of Fabricius. I have named it after Mr. Crocker, a 

 gentleman acting as agent for Mr. Swanzy on the Gold Coast. 



* The East-Indian (Moulmein &c.) form of tins species represents the 

 true Boiina of Clerck and Linnams ; the Boiina of recent authors will 

 have to take the name Misippus, applied by Linnaeus to the female of 

 that species.
