44 MR. S. A. NEAVE ON BUTTERFLIES [Jan. 18, 



November to June. Strange to say, among ten specimens 

 captured there are only two males. 



Deudorix bemba, sp. n. (Plate II. fig. 12, § .) 



In the general coloration of the under surface and in the 

 absence of basal spots on the upper surface this species appears 

 to be related to Pilodetcdorix ccerulea Druce, though the underside 

 markings are quite distinctive. 



5 . Upperside purplish blue with dusky margins ; a linear sub- 

 marginal white line on outer margin and toward anal angle of 

 secondaries ; a long dusky tail on vein 2 ; anal lobe orange 

 ochreous with a patch of black and metallic blue scales toward 

 outer margin. 



Underside pale greyish : on both wings a discocellular stria 

 composed of a double row of fawn-coloured scales ; a transverse 

 discal ochreous line outlined externally with white across both 

 wings, in primaries straight, in secondaries somewhat zigzagged 

 in area 1 c and turned sharply toward inner margin at vein 1 b ; 

 a faint submarginal dark line outlined externally in whitish on 

 both wings ; in secondaries on outer margin in area 2 a clear 

 black eye-spot, strongly outlined proximally with orange and 

 with a minute spot of pale blue near vein 3 ; in area lea patch 

 of black and pale blue scales ; anal lobe black with a few pale 

 blue scales ; from anal lobe a well marked orange-ochreous line 

 extends for a short distance along inner margin. 



Fringe dusky above, grey below ; jyalpi, the basal segment white, 

 the distal long, smooth and black ; thorax above bluish ; abdomen 

 dusky above, paler below, at sides the edges of segments outlined in 

 whitish. 



Length of primary 15 mm. 



Type in Hope Coll., Oxford. Luwingu, north of Lake Bang- 

 weolo, 2.vi.08. The only specimen met with. 



Deudorix licinia Mab. 



Represented by a single male taken in the Mbala country, 

 between Fort Jameson and the Luangwa river, v. 



Deudorix antalus Hopff. 



I found this species ubiquitous and occurring throughout the 

 year. 



Deudorix kafuensis, sp. n. (Plate II. fig. 11, d 1 -) 



Allied to D. elealodes Beth.-Bak.*, but a larger insect with more 

 rounded primaries and differing in some important points on 

 both surfaces. 



S . Upperside, — Primaries deep blue with dusky costa, apex 

 and outer margin. The deep blue suffusion, which is some- 

 what paler than in elealodes, does not reach the costa as in that 



* Deudorix elealodes Beth.-Baker, P. Z. S. 1908, p. 112, pi. ix. fig. 6.
