364 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON NEW BUTTERFLIES [Feb. 1 5, 



wing coloured as above but paler and without the orange spot in 

 the cell ; outer margin with a row of pale triangular shades, 

 most prominent towards the apex. Hind wing as in male. 



Expanse, male and female, 14- inch. 



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

 Bates) ; Upper Kasai district, Congo Free State (P. Landbeck). 



Types, Mus. Druce. 



Described from seven males and one female. 



From the description this insect seems to be allied to 

 L. ? o-rubrum Holland*, described by its author as a female. 

 The female of L. daemon is strikingly different on the fore wing. 



MlCROPENTILA CTNGTJLUM, Sp. n. 



Female. Closely allied to M. alberta Staud.t, from which it 

 does not differ on the upper side, but on the under side the hind 

 wing carries a submarginal row of crescent- shaped lunules in 

 place of a fine line. 



Expanse T ^- inch. 



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

 Bates). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Neaveia, gen. n. 



Differs from Deloneura Trimen by the longer cell in both fore 

 and hind wings and by vein 5 in the fore wing arising from near 

 the middle of the end of the cell, consequently the middle disco- 

 cellular nervule is present. Yein 1 bears a well-marked brand 

 much as described in Deloneura millari Trimen. The fore tarsi 

 are undeveloped, not jointed and without claws, and are spinulose 

 beneath. 



Type, JV. lambomi, sp. n. 



Text-fis?. 36. 



The accompanying woodcuts show the venation of Poultonia 

 ochrascens Neave, kindly lent to me by Professor Poulton (text-fig. 

 36 A), and of Neaveia (text-fig. 36 B). 



Mr. Trimen has shown (T. E. S. 1906) that Poidtonia sinks to 

 Deloneura.
