1S2 ZOOLOGICAL EESULTS OF THE EUWENZOEI EXPEDITION. 



costa to the internal margin. The spots in spaces 7 and 6 form roughly a biconcave 

 vertical bar ; that in space 5 is much longer than the one in 6 and extends nearer the 

 outer margin, but its inner half is broadly interrupted by a large white spot; the spot 

 in space 4 is much the longest of the series, its base being on the discocellular and 

 its point extending much beyond that in space 5, its posterior side being almost twice 

 the length of its costal ; that in space 3 is a mere triangle reaching distally to the 

 level of the spot in space 5 ; in space 2 is again another triangular spot extending 

 externally to the level of that in 6 ; in space 1 h an oblong spot, a little outwardly 

 displaced, its outside edge on a level with that in space 3 ; about one-third from the 

 base of the costa is a small triangular patch, having its base on the costa and its apex 

 about the middle of space 7. There is a thin marginal line, and on either side of the 

 base of the tail is a large black spot scaled with metallic green outwardly. Be}ond 

 the discal band there extends, from the costa to the inner margin, a broken sepia 

 shade, reaching its maximum width of about a quarter of the wing-breadth in spaces 

 2 and 3 (where, in some cases, it even extends inwards to the discal band), thence 

 becoming much narrower and more faint towards the costa. 



$ . — Upperside. Much paler than in the 6 and with a much more restricted 

 pinkish-violet gloss. Fore-ioing blackish at the base, with a broad ill-defined dark 

 brown border on the external margin and the following dark brown markings : a large 

 subquadrate spot at the end of the cell ; a broad curved subapical band, broadest on 

 the costa and gradually narrowing to a point on vein 3 ; midway between and behind 

 these markings is an elongate transverse patch between veins 3 and 1. Hind-wing 

 with the pinkish gloss less evident ; the metallic spots near the tail more distinct 

 than in the male. 



Underside. As in the male. 



The antennse blunt with fine white rings at the joints and creamy scales at the base 

 of the underside of the club. Head with palpi, thorax, abdomen, and legs black 

 above, dull cream below, except the third joint of the palpi, which is black.

At first sight the warm-flushed coppery colour of the upperside and the internervular 

 and intracellular distribution of the sex-streaks of the male give a deceptive resem- 

 blance to the same sex of U. falkensteinii Dewitz (Plate V. figs. 19, 6 ; 20, ? ), and the 

 colouring of the under surface is similar in both. But the wing-shape is that of 

 TJ. nvhifer, and differs fiom that of TJ. falkensteinii in that the fore-wing is more acute 

 at the apex, the outer margin being straighter and the inner margin longer, while the 

 hind-wing has a slightly sigmoid costa and is more produced at the anal angle, and
