360 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON NEW BUTTERFLIES [Feb. 15, 



Palpi fuscous, with black tips. Antennae black with white 

 spots. 



Female. Upper side : differs from the male by the inner 

 marginal area being heavily marked with orange-red, up to 

 and beyond the end of the cell, to which are joined two orange 

 patches, one in the cell, the other just beyond. On the under 

 side, the orange-red patcb is divided by a large brown spot ; 

 otherwise as above. Hind wing as in male. 



Expanse, male l^V inch, female 1^ inch. 



Hah. Bitje, Ja river, Cameroons, 2000 ft., dry season (G. L. 

 Bates). 



Types, Mus. Druce. 



Allied to Pseuderesia isca Hew.,* but differently marked. 



Pseuderesia rutilo, sp. ii. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 9, c? .) 



Male. Allied to the preceding P. minium, but much smaller. 

 Upper side differs from that species by the inner margin of hind 

 wing being broadly bordered with dark brown blotches from the 

 base to the anal angle. The under side differs from that of 

 P. minium by the brown shading over the central areas being 

 more extensive and by the possession of one red spot on the 

 discal area of the hind wing, placed at the end of the cell. 

 There are also several minute red dots near the base and one 

 in cell 1 . 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Hab. Bitje, Ja river, Cameroons, 2000 ft., wet season 

 (G. L. Bates). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



This may prove to be a variety of P. minium, but the under 

 side of the hind wing is so differently marked that for the present 

 I prefer to consider it distinct. It is also a much smaller insect. 



Pseuderesia russulus, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 8, <$ .) 



Male. Upper side : fore wing clear orange-red ; the basal and 

 apical areas broadly dark brown, tapering to a point at the angle. 

 Cell wholly dark brown. Hind wing clear orange-red, a black 

 streak partially closing the cell ; basal, inner and outer marginal 

 borders rather broadly dark brown. Cilia of fore wing brown, of 

 hind wing whitish between the nervules. Under side : fore 

 wing — costa, apex and outer margin dull brownish yellow, dusted 

 with dark brown scales, thickest on the veins ; basal area black, 

 with several deeper spots in the cell ; discal area orange-red, 

 becoming paler towards the inner margin ; a subapical black 

 band reaching across the wing. Hind wing brownish yellow, 

 dusted with brown along the costa ; basal area with eight distinct 

 black spots of varying sizes ; an irregular submarginal black 

 band enclosing a row of whitish triangular lunules, and a marginal 

 row of yellow lunules. Thorax and abdomen brown above,
