upperside of the anterior wings, with an additional spot near the 

 inner margin. 



Expanse of wings, c? ^| inches, $ 3| inches. 



Nearest to C. egesta. Cram., the male of which it somewhat 

 resembles ; the female is quite distinct. 



75. CrMOTHOE OCHREATA, n. Sp. 



Male. — U])perside. Resembles honnyi, but is more orange-tawny. 

 Anterior wings without markings in the cell, and the dark band 

 bej'ond the middle is only represented by an indistinct dark line ; the 

 spots in the submarginal row are smaller, and the margin is not 

 dusted with brown except at the apex. Posterior wings very 

 slightly darker towards the anal angle, and in place of the dark 

 band across the middle of honnyi is a narrow dark line ; there are 

 a few indistinct markings in the cell, and a curved line slightly 

 above and at the end of the cell ; the submarginal row of hastate 

 markings as in C. homu/i, but the margin is very little darker than 

 the rest of the wings. 



Underside. Paler than in C honnyi ; a sinuate line inside the 

 straight line which crosses the wings beyond the middle, which, on 

 the anterior wings of C. honnyi, crosses and recrosses it, in oclireata 

 does not approach it, while on the upper part of the posterior wings 

 it recedes still further from it. 



Fetnale. — Upperside. Both wings rather dark brown from the 

 middle to the base, beyond which it is much paler. Anterior wings 

 with five triangular spots based on the transverse line which crosses 

 both wings. Posterior wings with two mitre-shaped brownish- 

 white spots with their bases on the transverse line, the first situate 

 below the subcostal nervure, the second below the first ; the markings 

 in the cell more prominent. 



Underside resembles C honnyi but paler, and the dark transverse 

 line which crosses both wings is more marked. 



Expanse of wings, d 2| inches, $ 2| inches. 



76. Cymothoe westeemanni, Westw. 



77. CTMOTHote sangaris, Godt. 



78. Cymothoe herminia, Grose Smith. 

 A darker variety. 



79. Cymothoe theobena, Doubl. & Hew; 



80. Cymotho^ iodutta, Westw. 



81. Cykothoe theodota, Hew. 



Male darker rufous-brown on the underside, and the white spots 

 on posterior wings smaller. 



82. Cymothoe hypatha, J var. 



Whether this be a distinct species I am linable to determine in 

 the absence of the male;
