Species of Lycenide from West Africa. 333 
towards the anal angle. Underside: both wings pale brown, 
almost entirely covered with white, with numerous dark 
brown marks and stripes. Primaries with a short, basal, 
dark, costal stripe and a dark triangular patch, beyond which 
is a broken dark stripe across the end of the cell, arising in 
a small costal spot; beyond this are two transverse costal 
fascie, the first one being angled and longer and_ broader 
than the second; between the angled fascia and the stripe 
crossing the cell is a broadish stripe extending from the 
fourth median vein to the submedian, and tapering rapidly to 
the latter; a broad submarginal stripe followed by a very 
fine one; posterior margin finely dark. Secondaries with 
two transverse, dark, broadish, basal bands, followed by three 
large dark spots across the wing, one on the costa, another 
across the cell, and the third on the inner margin, the latter 
being a double spot; outside these are two other large spots 
on the median area, beyond which is a broad curved dark 
stripe from apex right to the inner margin; at the anal angle 
is a small black spot followed by a short dash, another black 
spot with a yellow iris, above which is another small black 
spot; all of these have a slight scattering of metallic-blue 
scales; posterior margin itself finely dark. 
Female like the male, but on the primaries there is a trace 
of two greyish spots, one on the posterior and one on the 
inner margin near the anal angle; whilst on the secondaries 
are two distinct rows of submarginal bluish-white spots 
roughly parallel with the posterior margin of the wing. On 
the underside there is decidedly more white, caused by the dark 
spots being smaller than in the male.

This species, which I dedicate to Mr. G. A. K. Marshall 
who has done so much for entomology on the other side of 
Africa, flies in January, February, and June, and will come 
near L. grammicus, 8. & K.; but it has not a marginal border 
of spots on either wings, as that species has on both wings, and 
the pattern beneath is very different, the underside pattern 
being between grammicus and the previous species here 
described, viz. subnitens. 
Lycenesthes leonina, sp. n. 
3. Upperside: both wings brown. Primaries with a 
largish indefinite whitish patch at the end of the cell and in 
the median area, and a small blackish spot at the end of the 
cell; posterior margin darker than the rest of the wing. 
Secondaries with a small double black spot in the anal 
angle, followed by a larger one above it, above which is 
another, rather smaller ; posterior margin finely dark brown,
