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



Underside more like that of carcina Hew. Fore wing with the 

 second submarginal grey band farther from the submarginal line and 

 broader, especially the spots in 2 and 3, which are somewhat quadrate, 

 Hind wing with the grey discal band broader than in carcina and farther 

 from the submarginal line. 



Length of fore wing : 20 mm. 



Habitat. — Forest between Ituri and Lindi Eivers, S.W. of Avakubi,

58. Epitola urania tanganihensis subsp. nov. (pi. XIV, fig. 63). 



$ . Upperside with extended black area. Fore wing with blue 

 area 4 and 5 less produced than in 2 and 6 ; outer edge of blue area 

 from vein 3 to submedian fairly straight ; basal area of cellules 6, 3 

 and 9 not blue, forming a costal indentation of ground-colour. Hind 

 wing with the marginal black border broader than in typical form. 



Underside resembles that of the typical ? in the golden coloration 

 of apex of fore wing and of the hind wing. Markings very similar,
