Nymphaijd^. 



1. LiMNAS DORIPPUS. 



c? 2. Euphva dorippus, Klug, Symb. Phys. pi. 48. figs. 1-4. 



S . "Inland from Berbera, April or May 1884." — Terhury. 



If my views of the relationship of this species to L. chrysippus 

 and allies is correct, it will probably be found that typical L. dorippus 

 does not range inland to any very great distance from the Somali 

 coast, but that its place is occupied by its Indo-African repre- 

 sentative. So far the two series before me fulfil my expectations ; 

 that received from Major Yerbury containing one male of each form, 

 whereas that collected by Mr. Thrupp contains three pairs of the 

 Indo-African form (for which I propose the name of L. liugii) and 

 none of L. dorippus. Mr. E. Lort-Phillips assures me, however, 

 that three of the specimens were obtained within eighty miles inland 

 from Berbera. 



2. LiMNAS KLTJGII. 



c? . Euploea dorippus, var., Klug, Symb. Phys. pi. 48, fig. 5. 



S. "2nd April, \^SA:'—Terbury. 



cJ $ . Inland, south of Berbera. — Thrupp. 



This is clearly the prevalent Limnas in Somali-land ; L. chrysippus 

 and L. alcippus having, apparently, entirely disappeared, and L. dorip- 

 pus being scarce and in all probability confined to the eastern coast. 

 It therefore has been necessary to give a name to this form, since 

 to speak of it as L. dorippus is not in accordance with actual fact. 



3. Ypthima asterope. 



Hipparchia asterope, Klug, Symb. Phvs. pi. 29. figs. 11-14 

 (1832). 



Four specimens, three of them a good deal worn, showing that 

 they had been long on the wing. 



Neocosnyra, gen. nov. 



Aspect of Pseudonympha ; neuration of Ypthima, excepting that 

 only the costal vein is swollen at the base ; palpi and antennae of 

 Ccmyra, from which, however, it is at once distinguished by the 

 form of the discoidal cell of primaries, which does not project in front 

 as in Ccenyra, so that (as in Ypthima) the second subcostal branch 

 is emitted at a considerable distance beyond the cell : it also differs 

 in having no trace of the large oval blackish brand which occurs on 

 the inner border of the primaries in the male of Ccenyra. 



4. Neoccenvra duplex, sp. n. 



Upper surface smoky greyish-brown, body darker than the wings, 

 the tegulse slightly ruious in front in the male, wholly rufous in the 

 female : primaries of both sexes with a large pyriform rufous patch ' 

 covering the anterior part of the disk and enclosing a subapical 



^ This patch is partly greyish in front iu the male, but its outliue is still 

 clearly visible.
