* Orange and black Skipper” (2. C.). 
92. HETEROPTERUS DECIPIENS, sp. n. (Plate VI. fig. 7.) 
Much resembles the preceding species on the upper surface ; 
the base of the wings streaked with orange-yellow irrorations ; the 
band bright golden orange; the terminal spot connected with it, 
not separate as in H. formosus; the secondaries show a transverse 
bar at the end of the cell, a longitudinal dash below the latter and 
six or seven submarginal spots, the first, third, and fourth largest, 
all orange and squamose: the body above is like that of H. for- 
mosus, but below it is deep brown as above, the palpi and centre 
of pectus with golden-orange hairs; the wings below are dark 
brown, the primaries alone showing a golden-orange band, formed 
as above, but not so deep in colour. Expanse of wings 30 millim.

3, Nyankowa Mt., 5425 feet alt., Nyika, April 10th; Kondowi, 
4110 feet, April 11th; 9, Kantorongondo Mt., 5925 feet, April 
15th; ¢, Cheni-Cheni Mt., 8500 feet, Nyika, April 17th, 1895. 
“ Orange-spotted black Skipper” (2. C.). 
In the specimens now sent, which are in good condition, the 
spots are bright ochreous and rather more numerous (especially on 
the secondaries) than in the type: indeed they more nearly 
approach typical C. metis; the wings are, however, decidedly 
blacker than in that species and there are never more than seven 
distinct small spots on the secondaries. This would appear to be 
the representative of C’. metis in Central Africa. 
95. KupusTus CAPENAS. 
Cyclopides capenas, Hewitson, Descr. Hesp. p. 43 (1868).
