A. leonae n. sp. (64 c). This species also approximates the two preceding species, but in the $ it leonae. 
has a small, distinct tail at the anal angle of the hindwing, and the margin of the hindwing is distinctly angled 
or almost lobated between the veins 3 and 4. Both wings above with a steel-blue reflection, the forewing at 
the apex and the hindwing at the costal margin broadly black or blackish-brown, margin of the forewing behind 
the apex distinctly emarginated; beneath lustrous dark grey, in the middle broadly scaled blackish with a 
small, yellowish spot at the end of the discal cell. The $ very much approaches that of vininga, but it has 
almost rounded hindwings; the anterior side is loam-coloured yellow without a black margin. Sierra Leone. 
A. kallimoides A. Schultze (65 c). Upper surface monotonously brownish greyish-black (the veins kallimoides 
and a narrow margin darker) with a distinct indigo-blue reflection merging into a greenish towards the base; 
under surface brownish violettish-grey, towards the base and margin cloudily darkened by small brown scales; 
a very narrow marginal line is brown; before this line a greenish-grey marginal band of 1 mm width, common 
both to the fore- and hindwing, proximally indistinctly defined, strongly expanded on the forewing from area 
4 to the costal margin, whilst on the hindwing it grows indistinct or disappears in area 6; fringes above and 
beneath buff. Sexes similarly coloured. South East Cameroon near Molundu, where the species was dashing 
in the sunshine round low shrubs in an open space of the primeval forest, on which it sometimes settled down 
for a short rest with its wings half opened. 
A. cephren Harn. Druce is unknown to me, but according to the description, it seems scarcely to cephren. 
differ from kallimoides. Above: uniformly dark purple; the costal margin of the hindwing broadly brown; 
both wings with a dark brown marginal line; fringes of both wings ferruginous. Under surface light yellowish 
brown without distinct markings and particularly at the base and margin densely covered with red-brown 
scales; the lower half Of the proximal margin of the hindwing is very concave, and the anal angle is extended 
into a distinct lobe turned inwards. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. 
A. bella Baker is known only in the female sex and is described as follows: Both wings above grey bella. 
with a faint light blue tint; forewing dark brownish-grey at the base with a bluish hue extending almost to 
the apex of the cell and to the middle of the posterior margin; an anal, whitish spot parted by the black trans¬ 
verse vein is at the end of the discal cell; behind this spot there is as far as the posterior margin a bluish- 
grey dusting following upon the blue basal area; hindwing light brownish-grey, in the discal cell and before 
the middle of the wing dusted with blue; fringes of the hindwings white. Both wings beneath yellowish white, 
thinly dusted with chocolate-brown scales; forewing with a brown apical spot and a brown, slanting line extending 
from the apex to vein 2, being partly double and on the hindwing continued from the middle of the costal 
margin to the proximal margin. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Nigeria, near Lagos. 
A. purpurascens Holl. (64 c) is distinguished by the dark transverse line beneath mentioned in the purpuras- 
review. In the $ of the type the wings above are violettish-or bluish-grey, at the base faintly suffused with 
a light blue; under surface light grey, strewn with some small, brown scales. Ogowe River to Cavirondo. — 
marshalli Bull. (64 c) is above somewhat darker and has a more or less incomplete or indistinct transverse marshalli. 
line beneath. Mashuna District. 
A. aura Ham. Druce is only known in the female and is described as follows: Forewing above blackish- aura. 
brown, at the base of the costal margin grey; the basal part as far as beyond the cell light blue with a whitish 
spot parted by a black transverse streak, at the end of the cell; hindwing dark grey and suffused with blue 
almost to the anal angle; the latter is strongly extended; fringes of the forewing brown, the hindwing white. 
Beneath both wings are creamy and densely speckled with small brown and black scales; the posterior margin 
of the forewing as far as vein 2 whitish; margin of the forewing in the apical half red-brown with two grey 
and black angular markings near the apex; a small, white dot at the cell-apex and an indistinct dark band 
from the apex to the middle of vein 2. Hindwing beneath with a brown transverse line from the middle of 
the costal margin to the middle of the proximal margin; palpi creamy with a brown terminal joint. Expanse 
of wings: 53 mm. Cameroon: Bitje. 
A. pandora Ham. Druce is a very large species of an expanse of 64 mm, of which only the $ is pandora. 
known hitherto. Both wings above monotonously dark brown without markings; fringes of both wings and 
the costal margin of the forewing very narrowly red-brown. Under surface light brown, densely speckled with 
small, dark brown scales, and with a common, rather narrow, brown transverse band extending from the apex 
of the forewing to the middle of the proximal margin of the hindwing; the posterior margin of the forewing 
is coloured light; fringes brown; both wings with a white dot at the cell-apex. Palpi light yellow with brown 
scales and a brown terminal joint. The apex of the forewing is extended into a sharp apex; the anal angle 
of the hindwing is extended in the shape of a sickle. Vein 6 of the forewing is separated from the cell-apex 
by a distinct upper discocellular vein. Cameroon and Unyoro in the Budongo Forest. 
18. Genus: JEulipliyra Holl. 
Eyes bare. Antennal club distinctly defined, round. The forewing with 12 veins: vein 6 from the 
footstalk of 7 to 9; vein 7 terminates into the margin near the apex or almost into the apex, 10 and 11 separate 
from the anterior margin of the cell; vein 5 rises somewhat nearer at 6 than at 4. Hindwing with 8 veins:
