suffusion on the basal and inner area and at the apex, submarginal 

 line well marked. 



2 . Upperside similar to the 2 of congolensis Capr., but smaller, 

 more brownish, and black spots indistinct. Ground-colour brownish- 

 grey with a greenish tinge. Fore wing with black apex and white 

 subapical band (in one specimen with a yellow tinge) reaching vein 4 ; 

 between this and the cell black, filling cellule 3 and extending into 

 the distal end of cellule 2. A series of submarginal spots edged with 

 grey-brown. Distal margin black, traversed by an indistinct grey- 

 brown admarginal line. 



Hind wing marking as in congolensis but discal spots small and 

 indistinct. Underside markings very similar to the 8 , the coloration 

 more uniform than in congolensis, and distinguished from it by the 

 narrow pale mark in 7 of the hind wing. Ground-colour brownish - 

 grey with markings accentuated by grey-white scaling. 



Length of fore wing, S 26 mm., 2 30 mm.

31. Euryphene brunnescens sp. nov. (pi. XII, fig. 31 $ , 32 2 ). 



Similar to laetitia Ploetz, and the form previously described as 

 laetitioicles, but smaller, brighter in colour, and markings above more 

 as in the latter species, of which it may be only a form. 



$ . Upperside with tawny-brown ground-colour, spots smaller than 

 in the allied forms. Fore wing markings distinguished by the black 

 postdiscal band forming a sharp tooth at vein 5 ; in the typical form 

 this band is reduced anteriorly to a thick dentate line to vein 4. Hind
