glossy; base of wings slightly more dusky, internal areas 
slightly ashy, fringes ashy grey; secondaries with a well- 
defined straw-coloured anal patch enclosing two silver- 
speckled black spots; tails black, tipped with white; head 
and collar brown, eyes encircled by a whitish line; thorax 
blackish, clothed with blue-greyish hair, patagia edged with 
brownish ; abdomen purplish brown, segmental margins 
white towards base, straw-coloured towards anal extremity ; 
antenne and palpi normal. Under surface creamy white ; 
bands broad, many of them contiguous, pale buff with dull 
silver central spots or lines and with sepia-brown margins ; 
excepting that the bands are much more crowded together, 
their general disposition is that of S. fusca; the anal area 
of the secondaries is pale buff with the anal black spots well 
defined: body below white, slightly buffish on the abdomen. 
Expanse of wings 23 millim. 
Puttalam, Ceylon (J. Pole). 
Catochrysops phasma, sp. n. 
Above grey-brownish, suffused with pale lilac ; outer borders 
smoky brown, veins brownish; the discocellulars marked by 
the usual narrow transverse bar; secondaries with one subanal 
ocellus, black capped with ochreous and with white outer edge, 
a well-defined white-tipped black tail at extremity of first 
median branch; body normal: under surface whity brown as 
in C. patricia, but the pattern agrees closely with that of 
C. celeus. 
EXxpanse of wings 87-438 millim. 
3 6, Lagos (Dr. H., Strachan) ; Ashanti, between Cape 
Coast Castle and Kumassi, in January and February (Capt. 
Hon. Grosvenor Hood). 
The tails to the secondaries of this species bring it nearest 
to C. patricia, but the tint of the upper surface separates it 
from all species known to me, though perhaps most nearly 
approaching that of C. celeus, 2; its female should be very 
like the latter excepting for the tail. 
Catochrysops Carsont, sp. n. 
3. Allied to C. patricia, the primaries more acute at apex ; 
the secondaries with a bilunate orange bar enclosing the 
usual black spots: under surface whity brown, with slightly 
darker white-edged macular bands, much more uniform in 
character than in C. patricia, the w hite hastate spots on the 
secondaries reduced in size, merely forming an inner series 
of white submarginal lunules; black anal spots with broad 
united orange zones as above, 
Hxpanse of es 41 millim.
