1885.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM SOMALI-LAND. 763 



liue at the extremity of interno-median area ; a blackish luargiiial 

 hue ; fringe partly whitish. Wings below pale stone-grey, with mark- 

 ings below nearly as in C. pandava of India, the primaries having a 

 white-edged brown spot at the end of the cell ; a discal band simi- 

 larly coloured, oblique from costa to second median branchy then a 

 little receding and divided below the second median into two sections ; 

 the usual ocelloid marginal spots composed of alternate white and 

 brown lunules and spots ; secondaries crossed near the base by 

 three white-edged black spots, that on costa largest ; a white-edged 

 brown discocellnlar lunule ; an arched and somewhat sinuous discal 

 series of white-rdged spots, the first on costa black, the others 

 slightly separated from it brown, the series almost interrupted below 

 the second median branch ; the usual marginal ocelloid spots bounded 

 internally by bread white crescents, the two nearest to the anal angle 

 black : body below white. Expanse of wings 25 millim. 



One male. Bunder Maria, 27th April, 1884. — Yerbury. 



I have been unable to find any described species at all closely 

 allied to this ; the nearest species, though wholly differing on the 

 upper surface, is C. pandava, but even on the under surface, though 

 agreeing in general pattern, the outline of the markings does not 

 correspond in detail ; the anal ocelli also are simply represented by 

 black spots, upon each of which, with the help of a lens, I dis- 

 covered a single silver scale. The venter in the type is tinted with 

 gamboge-yellow, but I believe that it is stained ; if natural, this 

 would be a most unusual colour for any genus of the group allied 

 to Lyccena.

One male. Duderi, 26th April, 1884. — Yerbury, 

 The single example obtained differs very slightly from Hopffer's 

 figure, and is apparently referable to the above species.
