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



the cell and another opposite to it on the inner margin, an 

 ultra-median band meeting a submarginal band at vein 3, and a 

 fine marginal line. Cilia brown. Hind wing : a broad basal 

 streak, several spots and patches on the cliscal area, and a sub- 

 marginal brown band ; an anteciliary brown line; cilia whitish. 

 In cell 2 is a marginal black spot surrounded with orange and 

 dusted with metallic blue scales. There is also a small black 

 spot at the extreme anal angle with a few metallic scales. 

 Thorax and abdomen brown above, pale below. 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Hab. Bitje, Ja river, Cameroons, 2000 ft., wet season (G. L. 

 Bates). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Somewhat like a small L. zenkeri Karsch * (PI. XXXV. 

 fig. 14, <S) on the upper side but quite different below. 



Lyctenesthes bakeri, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 12, $ .) 



Female. Allied to L. makala Beth.-Baker. Upper side rich 

 orange ; fore wing with costal and outer margins more broadly dark 

 brown ; a brown linear marking at the end of the cell, confluent 

 with the brown costal margin. Under side with brown patches 

 and white bands arranged much as in L. malcala but much less 

 in number ; the whole discal area of the fore wing and the anal 

 half of the hind wing having a rich orange ground-colour. Four 

 internervular black marginal spots at the anal angle dusted with 

 pale blue scales. Thorax and abdomen brown above, pale below. 

 Legs black and white. Palpi white, with black hairs and tip. 



Expanse 1^ inch. 



Hab. Upper Kasai district, Congo Free State {P. Landbeck). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



I thought this might be the female of L. malcala, but it 

 presents such differences from that species, several specimens of 

 which we have received from the same locality, that Mr. Bethune- 

 Baker writes me that it is certainly distinct. 



Triclema inconspicua, sp. n. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 9, J .) 



Male. Upper side uniform dark smoky brown, without 

 markings. Under side : ground-colour dark brown with pure 

 white bands arranged much as in L. lacides Hew. t, but all 

 much broader. 



Expanse 1 inch. 



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

 Bates). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Distinguished by the pure white broad bands on the under side. 



Mr. Bates also obtained L. lacides at the same place and 

 season.
