SATYBIDAE. 



42. Mycalesis asochis congoensis subsp. nov. 



Distinguished by the extended white areas on both wings, and the 

 less deeply curved dark distal line below. 



3 . Upperside of fore wing with the white area more extended in 

 the cell. Hind wing with the white area more extended between 

 veins la and 4. 



Underside without any basal yellowish suffusion. The dark brown 

 border to the ocelli is straighter than in the typical form. The spot 

 in cellule 3 on the hind wing is more strongly developed. 



Habitat. — Between Lindi and Lubila Eivers, north of Batama, 

 April, 1920, one 3 (type) ; north side of Maiko Valley, near 

 Stanleyville, May, 1920, one 3 ; Tshopo Valley, near Batama, April, 

 1920, one $ , T. A. Barns; Kassai Biver, one 3 .

43. Mycalesis per similis sp. nov. (pi. XIII, figs. 38, 39 3 , 40 ? ). 



Allied to martins F., but larger and with broader distal area below. 



3 . Upperside black with bluish reflection in side-light. Fore wing 

 with short hair covering cell and basal part of cellules la, lb, 2 and 

 3, but not forming tufts as in martins: Hind wing with a grey hair- 

 pencil at base of cell, and a black hair-pencil at base of cellule 6. 

 Basal area and inner margin covered with short hair, longer in the 

 cell, and projecting beyond it. 



Underside black-brown, distal area paler and broader than in 

 martins. The line marking outer edge of basal area straighter than 

 in martins. Fore wing with eye-spot in 2 scarcely larger than in 

 martins, four small ocelli in 3 — 6, the one in 5 larger and the others 

 more punctiform. The glossy area not extended beyond line limiting 

 basal dark area. Hind wing with five ocelli, the one in 2 smaller than 

 in martins, the one in lc a little smaller, the others smaller still, those 

 in 3 and 4 being punctiform. The area surrounding the ocelli on 

 both wings is only slightly paler than the ground-colour. 



? . Besembles martins, but is larger and subapical band is broader 

 and more distinctly defined. Underside resembles the male. The 

 margin and apical area of the fore wing is more yellowish than in 

 martins. The outer edge of basal area on hind wing slightly undulate 

 and sharply defined.
