412 MR. H, H, DRUCE ON BUTTERFLIES [Apr. 6, 
Palpi thickly clothed with black and white hairs. Antenne 
black, excepting tips and outer half of club, which are chestnut- 
brown. 
Expanse 1,4 inch. 
Hab. Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 3000 feet (G@. ZL. Bates). 
Dry season. 
- This insect in coloration and shape is very much like a small 
specimen of Rhopalocampta unicolor Mabille*, which we have 
received from the same locality, but an examination of the 
palpi proves that it is not congeneric with that species. The 
fore wings are more elongated and the hind wings are less 
produced posteriorly than im most species of Parnara. It seemed 
possible that this might be the female of the previously described 
Parnara noctula, but besides the white fringe on the hind wing 
and the different shape of the wings the antenne present 
considerable differences—they are shorter, the shaft is stouter, 
and the club more graduated. 
PARNARA FLAVIFASCIOLA, sp. n. (Plate LXVII. fig. 9.) 
Male. Allied to P. tarace Mabillet. Fore wing dark bronze- 
brown, with a central row of irregular white spots arranged as in 
that species. Hind wing with the central yellow fascia broader 
and without the yellow basal spot. Under side :—Fore wing: 
ground-colour paler and with spots as above ; hind wing much 
like that of P. statirides Holland ?, but yellow area rather less 
extensive and base clouded with brown. Head black, with a 
yellow central streak and yellow around the eyes. Thorax 
brown. Abdomen brown above, yellow below, and with a yellow 
band at the anus; venter brown. Legs brown with yellow 
hairs. Palpi black above, yellow below, terminal joint black. 
Antenne black, tips yellow. 
Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 feet (G. LZ. Bates). 
Dry season. 
There is a specimen in the British Museum from Sierra Leone

Mr. Bethune-Baker has shown me his type, which is without 
doubt a male specimen of this common species with the antenne 
wanting.
