On new Species o/'Planema. 415 Loc. Grey mouth (New Zealand, South Island). Allied to C. de Lacyi (White), from Waikato, but differs in having the punctuation finer and closer, in having the anal tergite compressed, alid in being spotted with black. From liosoma (Hutton), from Dunedin, it may be recognized by having the infero-lateral portion of the tergites more strongly emarginate and the edge of the anal tergite laterally notched. LV. — Descriptions of new Species o/'Planema in the Collection of the British Museum. By A. G. Butler, Ph.D. &c. Whilst recently rearranging the Museum collection of AcrceincB of the Old W orld, and incorporating the fine series presented by Messrs. Godman and Salvin, I came upon the following undescribed species of Planema : — Planema Salvini, sp. n. Nearest to P. camerunica, the male with the discoidal area of primaries, the area below the cell, and the band crossing the centre of the wing golden orange instead of tawny ; the transverse band itself more regular, especially along its outer margin ; secondaries with the basal spots arranged as in P. jormosa and followed by a diffused wiiitish band, more distinctly white on the under surface : the female chiefly differing from that sex of P. camerunica in the much less ir-regular inner edging of the white belt on the primaries (which is less distinctly continued below the first median branch) and its less prominent external angle, so that the deep-brown apical area is broader in this species : the secondaries much more nearly resemble those of the female of P. formosa, but the white belt across them is broader and more diffused. Expanse of wings, (J ''5 millim., ? 93 millim. Fernando Po and Cameroons (from the Godman & Salvin Collection). The natural position of this species is undoubtedly between P. formosa and P. camerunica. Planema Godmani, sp. n. Allied to P. camerunica and P. alcinoe ; the male has almost the same pattern on the primaries as the latter species, excepting that the inner blackish edging of the central band is usually almost wholly lost, so that these wings become
