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



Both series of forms show variation in the extent of blue on the 

 fore wing, but the tendency is to a wider black margin. This form is 

 doubtless only a race of eleala Hew., which, however, may prove equally 

 variable were a good series obtained. 



64. Hypohop elates canescens sp. nov. (pi. XV, figs. 72, 73). 



Allied to obscura B.-Bkr. T. E. Soc. 1913, p. 501. Distinguished 

 by its grey-brown upperside. 



$ . Upperside grey-brown with some scattered blue scales. Fore 

 wing with black fringes. Hind wing with white fringes ; anal lobe 

 with orange spot and some metallic blue scales. 



Underside white. Fore wing with post-discal narrow orange stripe, 

 edged with black. A grey submarginal line, indistinct anteriorly. 

 Some pale grey apical suffusion. Hind wing with narrow orange post- 

 discal stripe edged with black, shaped as a distinct W between veins 

 la and 3 ; a grey submarginal crenulate line from vein 7 to lb, and 

 beyond it a grey marginal band not touching the margin ; a quadrate 

 orange marginal spot in 2, bearing a large rounded black spot ; anal 

 lobe black edged with orange behind ; outer marginal edge finely black 

 fringes white. 



Antennae black, ringed with white. Palpi black above, white 

 below. Head black, frons white in the centre. Thorax black above, 

 white below. Legs white banded with grey. Abdomen black above, 

 ventral surface grey-white, segments 5 — 9 banded with white laterally. 



Length of fore wing, 14 mm. 



Habitat. — Albertville, Tanganyika, June, 1919, one $ . 



65. Tanuetheira prometheus congoensis subsp. nov. (pi. XV, fig. 74). 



Described from a single ? which is sufficiently different to deserve 

 a name. 



? . Upperside with the blue colour not greenish as in typical 

 form. Hind wing with the white postdiscal spot in 3 well-developed 

 and some white scaling above it in 4. Broader extent of distal black 

 from anal angle to vein 3, white marginal bars thinner. 



Underside of fore wing without grey apical suffusion ; a second sub- 

 marginal line faintly marked. Hind wing with submarginal line 

 farther from the margin ; red anal area reduced and not touching post- 

 discal line. 



Habitat, — Albertville, Tanganyika, June, 1919, one ? ,
