tained that they agreed with a $ from Old Calabar belonging to the 
South-African Museum. The pale-orange field is much more restricted 
in the hind-wings than in the fore-wings, lying indeed outside the dis- 
coidal cell, and not rising above second subcostal, or extending much 
below first median nervule. The under side bears a singular likeness 
to that of Lycoena Telicanus, but is still closer to that of a West- African 
congener, Lyccenesthes Lyclinides, Hewits. In the latter species the ^ 
is wholly dark-brown on the upper side, but the ^ has a small orange 
mark near the inner margin of the fore-wings. Two allied Gaboon 
Lyccenesthes y named by Hewitson respectively L. Lusones and L. Leptines, 
have similar but darker under sides, and very restricted orange mark- 
ings on the upper side ; they are also considerably smaller than L. 
Mahota.

I saw Mr. Smith's types of this Dendorix in 1886, and having 
been disappointed in obtaining any specimens except one much broken 
i from the Northern Transvaal, I give his description of both sexes. 
The J is readily distinguished from the other orange-red species of the
