line the middle portion of tlic wing is browner, and on the 

 costa is a long patch of bluish-white scaling. Vitreous spot 

 punctiform, hardly visible above. Posterior wings with the 

 costa pink above the ocellus nearly to the tip, and the inner 

 margin is also slightly bordered with pink. Ocellus of 

 moderate size ; vitreous pupil very small ; iris yellowish, 

 followed by a black and a buff ring ; between this and the 

 base is a curved bluish-grey line, and there is another 

 slightly edged with black on each side, not extending to the 

 costa, beyond the ocellus, which it does not touch. 



Under surface more dusted with grey ; only the outer 

 transverse lines visible, which are brown, edged with bluish 

 grey on the inside ; the pink costal band of posterior wings 

 above is replaced by a similar band on the inner margin of 

 the anterior wings beneath. Anterior wings slightly falcate. 

 Posterior wings long, slightly produced at anal angle.

Evidently allied to BunceaJamesoiii, Druce, from the Congo; 

 but the latter species seems to differ in the more distinct 

 hyaline spot of the anterior wings and in the wings being 

 much more suffused with purplish white, with the outer 

 stripe of the anterior wings extending to the apex. Li shape 

 B. ruhncostalis resembles B. epithyrena^ Maass. It is closely 

 allied to O. ohscura^ Butl., but differs in the red coloration, 

 and in the shape of the posterior wings.

? . Brown, slightly inclining to reddish, especially on 

 the thorax ; abdomen indistinctly banded with brown ; 

 anterior wings with a short white stripe at the base in front, 

 inner line at one third of the length of the wing much sinu- 

 ated, hardly extending to the inner margin, and marked with 

 yellowish white outside at each end and in the middle ; 

 costal spot large, its outline indicated by a pale line, slightly 

 dentated and most distinct on the basal side ; outside it is more 

 dentated, and its course is marked by six black white-marked 

 dots, the two innermost of which stand at the ends of the 

 pale basal line. Outer line running from near the apex, 

 which is moderately acute, to the middle of the inner margin ; 

 it is brown, slightly bordered with yellowish on the inner 

 side, and ujarked with whiter dots on the nervures ; from 

 below the upper end of this line an obsolete festooned line 

 runs slightly inwards to the inner margin, the space between 

 this and the hind margin being a little lighter than the
