64 New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



29. Diestogyna umbrina Auriv. ? (pi. XII, fig. 28). 



We assign this specimen to umbrina on account of the basal area 

 of the fore wing below projecting in a tooth on vein 2. The wings 

 are broader than in the allied form. 



? . Upperside very similar to simplex Stgr., and feronia Stgr. 

 Band of fore wing tinged with yellow, the spot in 3 placed more 

 distal, the one in 2 narrow. The pale discal line placed more distal 

 between 2 and 3 than in allied forms. A dentate postdiscal line, 

 ochreous edged with blackish-brown, between inner margin and 

 vein 2. Hind wing darker than in the allied forms, postdiscal dark 

 spots larger and submarginal line continuous; this distal band more 

 curved, the space between it and the discal line narrower anteriorly 

 than posteriorly. 



Underside more like feronia than simplex but paler than either 

 with increased suffusion of grey. Fore wing with basal area projecting 

 in a tooth on vein 2. Hind wing with discal line enclosing basal area 

 more irregular than in the allied forms. Distal markings distinct, 

 except series of white dots, submarginal line more undulate. A 

 blackish discal patch as in the allied forms. 



Length of fore wing, 35 mm. 



Habitat. — N. eastern outskirts of Ituri Forest, three days South 

 of Irumu, 1000 m., February, 1920, one ? , T. A. Barns. 



Found in dense forest, feeding on rotting fruit. 



30. Euryphene laetitioides sp. nov. (pi. XII, fig. 29 <? , 30 $). 



Allied to laetitia Ploetz, and not easy to distinguish from it. The 

 underside, however, is greenish and without any of the brown tint of 

 laetitia. 



<? . Upperside coloration and markings similar to laetitia, and 

 fore wing with no constant difference. Hind wing with black discal 

 band not reaching vein 3, generally stopping at vein 2, and indistinctly 

 defined beyond this in Cameroons specimens. Postdiscal band thinner 

 than in the allied species, and spots in 2 and 3 indistinct ; second post- 

 discal band similar, the spots in 2 and 3 mostly indistinct. 



Underside markings similar to laetitia. Basal area more sharply 

 defined, greyish-green ; distal area dull-green, all markings distinct. 

 Fore wing with basal area paler and more greyish than in hind 

 wing, without white markings ; distal area more greenish and discal 

 brown curved line strongly marked. Hind wing with violaceous
