402 Mr. R. Trimen on some New Species of 



Genus Lyc^na, Fab. 



* Tailed group. 



Lyccena Anta. 



Exp. 1 in. 1 lin. — ■! in. 5 lin. 



$ Shining seneous-brown, shot with violet from bases ; cilia 

 greyish-white. Hind-wing : a rather long, linear, black, white- 

 tipped tail at extremity of 3rd median nervule ; 2 black spots on 

 hind-margin, respectively just above and below origin of tail ; 

 anal angle rather prominently lobed, and marked with a greenish- 

 silvery-scaled, black spot. Underside. — Pale-greyish ; in both 

 wings an incomplete, brownish-grey, whitish-edged ring, closing 

 discoidal cell, a row of similar rings, confluent, forming a rather 

 broad transverse band beyond middle, and a sub-marginal row of 

 brownish-grey, lunular markings, indistinctly white-edged in- 

 wardly and outwardly. Hind-wing : near base, 3 whitish-ringed 

 fuscous spots, forming a short transverse row ; hind-marginal 

 spot above tail marked inwardly by a yellowish lunule, that below 

 tail all bluish-silvery ; spot on anal lobe inwardly scaled with 

 bluis^^h-silvery. On inner margin of fore-wing, about middle, a 

 small tuft of black, bristly hairs. 



? Bluer than $ , excepting near hind-margins ; markings 

 similar. Underside. — Quite similar, the markings more distinct.

This Lyccsna evidently belongs to the Bcetica group of the 

 genus, having much of the facies of that species. The lo'oe on 

 anal angle of hind-wing, however, would seem to indicate an 

 approach to Amblypodia and allied genera, 



Lyccena Siwani. 



Exp. 1 in. 



J ? Pale-blue, inclining to violet, with greyish margins. Fore- 

 wing : greyish edging borders costa, widens to a broad space at 

 apex, and thence narrows to a point at anal angle. Hind-wing : 

 greyish edging broad on costa, narrowing to a thin line along 

 hind-margin ; from 1st median nervule to anal angle a sub-mar- 

 ginal, macular, orange band, marked exteriorly with two black 

 spots, between 1st and 3rd median nervules (the upper spot very 

 indistinct) ; a short, linear, greyish-white tail at extremity of 3rd 

 median nervule. Underside. — Pale whitish-grey ; in both wings 

 a greyish, white-margined streak closing discoidal cell ; a row of
