Species of Lyceenide from West Africa. a3l 
Eipitola nigra, sp. n. 
&- Upperside: both wings uniform dark blackish brown ; 
primaries with a slight blue scaling at the lower extremity 
of the cell in the submedian area, and also between the first 
and second median veins; secondaries spotless. Under- 
side: both wings uniform dull greyish brown without any 
pattern at all; primaries with a suffusion of black over the 
central area of the wing from the base to the posterior 
margin. 
?. Upperside: both wings uniform brown, not very dark, 
quite spotless. Underside: both wings pale ochreous ; 
primaries with the biack suffusion as in the male, at the upper 
extremity of which is a trace of a pale spot; secondaries 
spotless. 
Exp. alar., g 41, 9 43 millim. 
This species, which flies in February, will come next to 
HE. pinodes, H. H. Druce, from which it differs in having 
no blue whatever on the upper surface of the secondaries, 
Linodes has blue suffused all over the wing. 
Deudoriz Catort, sp. n. 
o. Upperside: both wings black, suffused all over with 
rich sublustrous cobalt-blue. Primaries with the costa black 
to the subcostal vein ; apex black and posterior margin black, 
broader near the apex, decreasing rapidly to a line at the 
inner angle. Secondaries, tail and lobe black; sex-patch 
at the base of costa small and black. Sexual tuft of the 
primaries black. Underside: both wings pale grey, with 
the usual Dewdoriz quadrangular mark at the end of the 
cells, beyond which is a waved transverse yellow line finely 
edged outwardly with white, extending right through both 
wings, followed by a similar interrupted submarginal line, 
ending in the secondaries in the upper of the two anal ocel- 
lated spots. In the secondaries the first line is W-shaped 
over the anal spots, both of which are velvety black, the 
upper one ringed broadly with yellow except on the posterior 
edge, which is whitish ; the lower one, 2. e. the lobe-spot, is 
edged internally with blue scales, above which is a yellow 
stripe edged with black on each side. 
Exp. alar. 32 millim. 
This species, which flies in January, is unlike any Deudorixz 
that I know; its linear markings remind oue rather of 
Hypolycena than of Deudori#; the neuration, however, is 
that of the latter genus.
