browner tbrougliout. Fore-iuing : outermost of three subcostal dots 
wanting; submacular fascia prolonged to subraedian iiervure (as in $ 
Jesous) by an additional separate spot. 
The fore-wings are rather markedly elongate in both sexes, being produced 
apically. It is singular that the under surface should show such decided 
resemblance to that of Jesous, while the upper side differs so widely in both 
^ and 9 • ^ do not remember to have seen any Lyccena in which the blue 
occupies quite the same position as in the (J Macalenga, or in which it is 
internally so curiously defined. 
The South-Indian L. Uhaldus (Cram.), from which the Cingalese Azanus 
Crameri, Moore {Lep. Ceylon, p. 80, pi. 36, f. i), seems barely separable, is a 
closer ally than even L. Jesous or L. Macalenga, its under side agreeing almost 
exactly with that of the latter ; but on the upper side the male exhibits no 
trace of the peculiar restriction and outline of the discal blue so conspicuous 
in the male Macalenga. 
This curious species seems to be very scarce. It was originally discovered 
by Colonel Bowker, who took a male and two females in Basutoland, of which 
the male and one of the females were noted as captured on flowers near 
Olifant's Been, on the Cornet Spruit (Makaleng Biver), in February 1869. 
In 187 1 the same observer sent single examples of the male from north-west 
of Somerset East and from Griqualand West respectively. The only other 
specimens I have seen were a male and female captured^ near Burghersdorp 
by Dr. Kannemeyer in 1883.
