Show 34 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN [Jan. 14, shading into fuscous at the outer angle. There is a series of marginal black spots near the apex, and the translucent subapical spots are defined outwardly by blackish markings. There is a fine marginal black line: The cilia are blackish, checkered with whitish on the intervals. On the upperside the cilia are whitish, checkered with blackish at the ends of the nervules._ The secondaries on the underside are greenish ochraceous, with the anal angle broadly marked with fuscous. There are three distinct black subcostal spots, a series of black marginal markings, and the translucent spots are narrowly defined by fine blackish lines. 5 . The female is like the male, but lacks the translucent spot at the end of cell of the secondaries. Expanse d1 $ 25-27 m m. Types in coll. Staudinger. Hab. French Congo. (Mocquerys). This species is very closely allied to G. heterochrus, Mab., from which, however, it may be easily distinguished by the markings of the cilia, and the absence of the patch of light colour which prevails in the secondaries at the anal angle of that species, and by the fact that the lower side of the abdomen is not bright yellowish as in G. heterochrus, but greenish ochraceous. There are other distinguishing markings, but these points will suffice at once to separate these species. 121. G. SUBFLAVIDUS, Mab. MS., sp. nov. (Plate V. fig. 16.) Pamphila subflavidus, Mab. MS., in Staud. coll. J . Primaries and secondaries on the upperside blackish ; cilia of secondaries narrowly white. The primaries are ornamented by a small roundish subapical translucent spot just below the end of the cell, by a small subquadrate spot of the same character in the cell near the lower angle, and by three larger spots on intervals 1, 2, and 3. The spot on interval 1 is subtriangular, on interval 2 subquadrate, and on interval 3 sublunate. The secondaries are ornamented by two translucent wedge-shaped spots on either side of vein 3 near its origin, the uppermost spot being produced beyond the lower. On the lower side the primaries are black, with a small white ray at the base, and with the apical extremity marked with greenish ochraceous. There is a fine marginal black line, two minute blackish spots near the apex, and on either side of vein 5, near the outer margin, whitish markings. The secondaries on the underside are pale straw-colour, with the outer margin and the costa clouded with darker brown markings. On interval 2 there is a dark brownish spot about halfway from the base. A small black spot is found below the costa near the origin of the subcostal nervures, and there is a similar small black spot near the end of the cell. The palpi on the upperside are black, on the lower side straw-yellow, as is also the entire lower side of the thorax and the abdomen. The abdomen towards its |
