230 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 



8. Salamis dejimta, sp. n. 



Magnitudino speciei cui nomon S. aglatonice, signationibus autem 

 velut in S. Duprei, caudis alarum posticarum elongatis, niargini- 

 bus autem velut in S. aglatonice infuscatis ; area basali alarum 

 omnium distincte cinerea ; alas subtus fundo niveo, areis ob- 

 scurioribus subcinereis; ocello subanali posticarum magno. Alar, 

 exp. uuc. 2, lin. 6-11. 



Fianarantsoa and Antananarivo. 



This species is evidently quite common. It is much smaller 

 than S. Diqjrei, with less falcated primaries, the bases of the 

 wings and the border of the secondaries grey ; the under 

 surface also usually shows no trace of the saudy yellowish 

 tint so frequently found in 8. Duprei. From S. aglatonice, 

 with which it agrees in size, it differs in its more falcate 

 primaries, the greater extent of the black apical border of 

 these wings, the almost entire absence of the rose-coloured 

 shot and of the large black spot on the first median interspace 

 of primaries, and in the caudate character of the anal angle 

 of secondaries.

Fianarantsoa (Shatv). 



This very distinct species is probably most nearly allied to 

 A. Sganzini) but in form it more nearly agrees with A.pseu- 

 dolycia.
