Netu Lepidopbera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 89 



The eastern race is characterized by increased blue and narrower 

 subapical band. 



8 . Upperside of fore wing with subapical band narrower than in 

 typical form. Occasionally narrow-banded specimens occur with the 

 typical form. The blue area extends almost or quite to base of 

 cellule 2, and touches the cell below vein 2. Hind wing with blue 

 extending into the cell, almost filling it with thin scaling, and not 

 reaching the base ; a discocellular mark of dark ground-colour. 



Underside with no constant differences. 



? . Fore wing with narrower band, of which the lower spot in 

 cellule 4 reaches nearly to margin. The patch at the outer angle is 

 reduced proximally.

 Upper Kasai District, Congo Beige, 6 8 8 one ? (e.r-collection

63. Hypokopelates ituri B.-Bkr. f. lineosa form. nov. 



Distinguished from typical specimens of ituri by the much thinner 

 and paler discal lines below, by the absence of any brown distal suffusion, 

 and by the more grey-white ground-colour. 



The upperside is not different from the typical form. 



As the markings are exactly similar to those in ituri we can only 

 regard this as an aberration.
