angle, 5 from above the middle, 6 and 7 from the upper angle ; 

 in the female vein 7 rises from the cell, not from the angle. 

 Type, Mamhara nigrojnmcfata B.-B. 



Mambara nigropunctata, sp. n. (Plate VIII. fig. 5.) 



c? . Both wings white, with restricted black bases. Primaries 

 with a black spot closing the cell, costa narrowlj^ black ; apex and 

 term en to vein 1 very broadly black, the black apical area 

 reaching nearly to the cell and to the middle of the costa, with 

 a deep indentation between veins 3 and 4. Secondaries with the 

 black spots of the lander side showing through and a black ter- 

 minal short dash at vein 2. — Underside. Primaries white, with 

 a basal black spot, a large oblong spot at the end of the cell, a 

 very broad irregular angled black band from just beyond the 

 middle of the costa to the termen, the radial and terminal areas 

 being black between veins 5 and 2 ; apical area white with a 

 small black apical spot. Secondaries creamy white, with a sub- 

 basal round black spot between vein 8 and the cell, below which 

 is a three-armed basal mark (reminding one of the Manx Arms) ; 

 postmedial stripe black, very interrupted, consisting of a costal 

 apical spot with a broadish dash below it shifted inwards, and 

 a small black spot below it, a black crescent shifted outwards, a 

 spot below it in the angle of vein 3, and further iii another spot 

 in the angle of vein 2, below which shifted slightly outwards is a 

 broad dash to the middle of the iinier margin, a black spot below 

 on this margin, and a black spot on the termen between veins 2 

 and 3. 



$ like the male ; but in the primaries the basal black patch 

 extends nearly all over the cell, and is confluent with the apical 

 area, whilst in the secondaries there is a slight subterminal 

 brownish dusted indefinite line. 



Expanse 30 mm.

CANDALIDES MARIA, sp. n. 



J • Both wings uniform dull mauve-blue, with fine black linear 

 costa and termen, and white fringes. — Under side. Both wings, 

 pure shining white, with fine linear pale ochreous-brown markings. . 

 Primaries with a twice-broken postmedial line, the middle part 

 between veins 2 and 6 shifted outwards, a subterminal line 

 composed of fine internervular dashes ; termen very fine, linear, 

 brown ; secondaries with four basal points below each other, 

 a larger point below the angle of vein 2, a fine dash above the 

 angle of vein 7 ; the postmedial line broken as in the primaries, 

 but the middle part shifted further out ; subterminal line con- 

 nected throughout, a very fine brown linear termen, a black spot 

 at the angle, and termen finely spotted to vein 6. 



Expanse 40 mm.
