markings, bordered outwardly with white, viz. a mark at the 

 end of the cell, beyond that an irregular band reaching from 

 the costa, where it is narrowest, and gradually widening 

 towards the inner margin ; beyond this a marginal row of 

 lunules. Hind wing : a mark at the end of the cell and an 

 irregular rather broad band beyond, darker towards the anal 

 margin ; a dark spot near the base just below the subcostal 

 nervure and a smaller one near the base close to the anal 

 margin ; two small orange spots with silvery blue scales at 

 the anal angle. 



Expanse If inch. 



Hah. W. Africa, Addah. 



This species is allied to L. thyrsi's, Kirby, but is violet in 

 place of blue above, and on the underside the markings are 

 much larger. 



3. Pithecops steirema, sp. n. 



d $ . Upperside dull black, with a broad white oval band 

 extending from the subcostal nervure in the fore wing to 

 about the second subcostal nervule in the hind wing. 



Underside. — Fore wing white, with the costal margin very 

 narrowly, the apex and outer margin rather broadly, black ; 

 several small black spots on the costal margin. Hind wing 

 white, with a large black spot near the centre of the inner 

 margin ; the outer margin rather broadly black. 



A row of black lunules common to the outer margins of 

 both wings bordered inwardly and outwardly with white. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen black above, white below ; legs 

 white ; antenna? black, spotted with white below. 



Expanse H inch. 



Bab. Solomon Islands. 



4. Larinopoda as2)idos } sp. n. 



(J. Upperside. — Fore wing white, the costal margin nar- 

 rowly, the apex and outer margin rather broadly, bordered 

 with dull blackish brown. Hind wing white, bordered with 

 blackish brown from the apex to the anal angle. 



Underside. — Fore wing as above, with a brownish spot at 

 the end of the cell adjoining the costal border. Hind wino- 

 bordered as above, with the dark patch near the apex (which 

 is so conspicuous in L. lirccea, Hew.) included in the marginal 

 border ; a large black spot between the cell and the inner 

 margin, but no spot in the cell. 



? . Upperside. — Fore wing as in male, but rather more nar-
