nigro lituratse : auticae occllo supcrno et linea submarginali indi- 

 stincta nigra, area externa paululum pallidiore : posticae fascia 

 valde irregulari media nigro-fusco limitata et extrorsum flavo 

 limbata, area externa dilute fusca, nigro indistincte liturata : 

 occllis duobus analibus inaequalibus nigris, albo pupillatis, late 

 ferrugiueo cinctis, linea undulata submarginali fusca, linea ante 

 marginem ciliisque nigrescentibus. Alar. exp. unc. 1, lin. 6. 



Antananarivo. 



As I am not by any means certain that this is the species 

 intended by Mr. Ward's very brief description, and as, more- 

 over, I consider the name anganavo by far too barbarous to 

 be countenanced by the naturalists of the future, I would 

 propose that, in the event of the type of Henotesia proving 

 distinct, it should receive the name of H. Wardii. The only 

 means of deciding the question will be by examining either 

 the type or a figure made from it, as the description might 

 apply to half-a-dozen species. 



6. Ypthima Vinsonii } Guenee. 



Now that we have received this species (from Antanana- 

 rivo) , I strongly suspect it to be conspecific with " Erebia 

 rakoto" Ward. The example received is certainly very dis- 

 tinct from Y. Batesii, bein g considerably larger and altogether 

 different on the underside. Satyrus mopsus of Mabille seems 

 to be allied to Y. Vinsonii; the latter cannot, surely, be a 

 Strabena, as hinted by M. Mabille. 



7. Ypthima niveata, n. sp. 



5 . Y. Batesii affinis : supra olivaceo-fusca, areis alarum discali- 

 bus albicantibus, marginibus autem fundi colore ; anticae ocello 

 magno subapicali nigro, lilacino bipupillato, fulvo cincto ; pos- 

 ticae ocellis duobus subapicali et subanali unipupillatis. Auticae 

 subtus disco albo ; posticae albas, costas basi, angulo anali, striga 

 submarginali, linea fere marginali ciliisque fuscis, ocellis super- 

 nis fusco zonatis, ocello parvo anali duplici : corpus nigrescens. 

 Alar. exp. unc. 1, lin. 7. 



Antananar i vo ( Tog) . 



It is barely possible that this can be the female of Y. 

 Batesii; it differs from it so much more than do the opposite 

 sexes of any other species in the genus. 



Nymphalin^. 



M. Mabille appears to mistake my Panopca Drucii for the 

 common Panopca dubia, Pal. dc Beauv. ; it is, however, a 

 constant and distinct species.
