line of forewing feebly bent, the second in area 6 obtusely angular, then as far as the hind-margin quite straight, 
the marginal portion without the indistinct whitish submarginal band is dark grey. Hindwing at the apex from 
the costal margin to vein 5 or 4 with a broad dark grey marginal band being very indistinctly defined towards 
the base. Both wings beneath light yellow with distinct blackish-grey, separate submarginal spots, six of the 
forewing (in 3 to 8) and seven of the hindwing (in 2 to 8). Expanse of wings: 48 mm. — The $$ obtained 
together with this <$ by breeding exhibit a marking very much like that of the $ of L. pulchra, but they are 
quite differently coloured. The ground-colour of the forewing is light greyish-yellow with light violettish- 
brown markings and dark veins in the marginal portion; the proximal transverse line is feebly bent, the distal 
line irregularly serpentine, distally bordered with light, and in area 6 projecting far towards the margin; the 
median area is almost entirely covered with violettish-brown colour, only on each'side of the discal spot lighter, 
and a broad band of the same colour proximad accompanies the sub marginal band. Hindwing above whitish, 
only at the costal and distal margins somewhat yellowish; the submarginal spots are only distinct in the 
areas 5 to 7, and of the veins only 5 to 7 are slightly darkened at the margin. Head and dorsum of thorax 
covered with red-brown hair. Abdomen above yellowish-grey with whitish anal wool. Both wings beneath 
light grey, at the distal and costal margins of the hindwing more yellowish, at the costal margin of the forewing 
clothed with brown hair; submarginal spots large, of a bright red-brown; veins in the marginal portion somewhat 
darkened. Expanse of wings: 67 to 71 mm. — The $ has a ground-colour very much like that in the $ of 
L. conjuncta Strd. (29 e) and of L. tessmanni, but it differs from the former in the discal area of the forewing 
being covered with violettish-brown, and from the latter in the broader forewing being rounded off at the apex 
and the still lighter ground-colour. German East Africa: Ukerewe. 
L. pulchra Auriv. (29 f). The $ is distinguished by the bright ochreous-yellow ground-colour and pulchra. 
the deep red-brown markings. The discal area of the fore wing is almost entirely covered with red-brown. The 
A of this species is described by Strand as follows: ,,Upper surface more or less greyish, in the centre and 
basal half of the forewing at most with a slight yellowish hue. Size small (expanse of wings: 45 mm). Forewing 
rather broad and obtuse.“ This description also agrees with the $ of L. griseola and may have been made 
according to a small specimen of this species. British Central Africa: Ewambo. Congo District near Kinschassa. 
L. citriraa Schs. The description of this species being unknown to me runs as follows: Olive-coloured ciirina. 
yellow; head and thorax yellowish-brown. Eorewing with a small white spot near the base; the antemedian 
transverse line is brown and straight and at the anal margin it touches a brown postmedian transverse line 
which is angular behind the costal margin; an indistinct discal line; the irregular whitish submarginal band 
is bordered by greyish towards the base. Hindwing in the basal half yellow, in the marginal half olive-coloured. 
$. Light yellow; forewing with undulate, indistinct, and reddish transverse lines; a large red discal spot and 
a series of red submarginal spots. Hindwing near the apex with the beginning of a series of red sub marginal 
spots. Expanse of wings: $ 49, $ 80 mm.“ Sierra Leone. — Strand states in his revision of the species of 
this genus, that the <$ of L. citrina differs from the other species in the hindwing being very convex in or right 
beyond the middle of the distal margin. Such a specimen is before me from Sierra Leone, but it does not quite 
correspond with the description by Schatjs. 
L. flavomargmata sp. n. <$. Both wings above as far as the margin with a pure ochreous-yellow flavomargi- 
ground-colour. Forewing above with a white basal spot, light brown transverse lines and a very distinctly nata. 
defined whitish submarginal band which is continued on the hindwing as far as the hind-margin, though less 
distinctly defined. The proximal transverse line of the forewing is almost straight, the distal line at the costal 
margin slightly bent, not angular. Both wings beneath ochreous-yellow without markings; the submarginal 
bands above feebly show through. Head and thorax light brownish-yellow, abdomen with more brownish- 
grey hair. Antennal shaft whitish; pectinations blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Distinguished by 
the small size and the purely yellow marginal band on both wings. East Africa: Kilima-Njaro, at altitudes 
of 1300 to 1900 m. 
The four following species I was unable to examine. They were described as species of Chrysopsyche, but most surely 
belong to this group of the genus Lechriolepis. 
L. leucostigma Hmps. (29 f). <$. Head, thorax, and abdomen light red-brown; antennae with white leucosiig- 
shafts and blackish pectinations; tarsi apically white. Forewing olive-coloured ochreous-yellowish; a white v,a - 
basal spot; the fust transverse line is brownish, slanting; a brown transverse streak at the end of the discal 
cell; the second transverse line between the costal margin and vein 7 is somewhat slanting and then obliquely 
turned inwards towards the anal margin, somewhat bent at vein 2; the submarginal band is whitish from the 
apical part almost to the hind-margin, bent inwards at vein 5 and bent outwards at vein 4. Fringes with indistinct 
white spots. Hindwing light olive-brown; an indistinct whitish band from the posterior end of the discal cell 
to the anal angle, and a more distinct light sub marginal band from the costal margin to the anal angle. Hindwing 
beneath light olive-yellow with a white spot near the base of the costal margin, and an indistinct submarginal 
line. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Ruwenzori. 
L. jacksoni B.-Bak. Head and thorax light yellowish-brown; abdomen yellowish-grey. Forewing jacksoni.
