232 On new Species of Rhopalocera. 



I have carefully examined the types of both Hewltson's 

 species, otrceda and genuba, and find that Aurivillius was 

 correct in sinking the latter name as a synonym ; they are 

 certainly the same insect. 



Hypolyccena moyambina, sp. n. 



(J . Both wings black ; secondaries with a trace of a fine 

 short dash of blue scales in the fold and also in the lobe. 

 Fringes of primaries black, of secondaries white below the 

 apex. Thorax and abdomen with a trace of a few blue 

 scales here and there. Underside of both wings whitish : 

 primaries greyish in the apical and terminal areas ; a reddish- 

 brown sex-patch below the cell, an orange-red postmedial 

 stripe edged with brown, a subterminal fine interrupted line 

 edged outwardly with whitish from well below the costa ; 

 cell closed with a white dash finely edged with a darkish 

 line. Secondaries with the closing of the cell so fine as to be 

 scarcely discernible; the postmedial stripe broadly orange- 

 red and darkly edged unwaved to vein 1, where there is the 

 W-shaped indentation up to the inner margin ; a fine dark 

 scalloped subterminal line, outside which is a row of greyish 

 spots; termen black, linear; a velvety-black lobe-spot finely 

 encircled with blue, with a small bright red spot above; 

 between the tail and the outer very short tail, both of which 

 are tipped and fringed with white, is a large black spot edged 

 with orange-red, a distinct whitish space between it and the 

 lobe-spot. 



Expanse 28 mm. 



Mr. Cator took but one of this very pretty little species, 

 but it is quite distinct from any other of the genus that 

 I know. 



lolaus Catori, sp. n. 



^ . Primaries deep lustrous blue, with a slight irroration 

 of paler blue scales in parts near the base and in the cell • 

 costa broadly black ; apex black to upper angle of the 

 cell ; termen broadly black, rapidly tapering to vein 2, 

 below which to tornus it is linear ; a pencil of bluish-black 

 hairs on the inner margin. Secondaries bright darkish 

 lustrous blue, with a large darker central patch in certain 

 lights ; the large shining patch extends to the lower 

 margin of the cell, and on the upper margin to the costa 

 is a large patch of differently placed scales, purplish and 

 greenish, with a fine iris of bronzy-green scales ; the whole 

 patch appears difi'erent colours in different lights ; below it,
