ERYCINIDAE. 



44. Abisara bamsi sp. nov. (pi. XIII, figs. 41, 42). 



Allied to talantus Auriv., having the same neuration-structure in 

 the hind wing 



? . Upperside coloration as in other species of the group. Fore 

 wing without apical ocellus ; a discal blue band, somewhat triangular, 

 anteriorly narrowed, reaching from inner margin to origin of vein 6, 

 indistinct in the lower angle of cell, inner edge reaching slightly beyond 

 origin of vein 2, outer edge even. A pale postdiscal narrow band from 

 costa to near tornus. Hind wing with a narrow blue transverse band 

 from 2 to 7 near apex where it narrows to a point ; this band fills lower 

 angle of cell and the base of cellules 3 and 4. A double apical eye-spot 

 as in allied forms. Two faint bluish submarginal lines between veins 

 2 and 4, joined to form a kidney-shaped spot. 



Underside paler. Fore wing with whitish oblique discal line from 

 costa to vein 2. A similar postdiscal line from costa to inner margin, 

 curved below vein 2. A thinner submarginal line from vein 7 to a 

 point between 2 and 3 where it joins the postdiscal line. Hind wing 

 with a slightly curved whitish discal line from middle of inner margin 

 to costa before the apex. Two crenulate submarginal lines between 

 veins lb and 4, joined posteriorly. Eye-spots as above. 



Length of fore wing : 20 mm. 



Habitat. — Butahu River, Semliki Valley, December, 1919, 1,000 m., 

 one ? . 



Mr. Barns notes that this species has the habit of A. rogersi in 

 hopping, rather than flying, from leaf to leaf, and is easily caught. 

 Feeds on plant-juices. Rests with wings closed and is not easy to see. 



LYCAENIDAE. 



45. Telipna angustifascia sp. nov. (pi. XIV, fig. 43). 



This species is allied to semirufa S. and K. with which it has been 

 confounded hitherto. Semirufa is probably only a form of bimacida 

 Ploetz. Distinguished by the narrow oblique band of the fore wing. 



$ . Upperside of fore wing with orange-red discal band, 3 mm.
