Hind wings with the costa regularly convex; the apex rounded, though a little angulated; 

 outer edge full and regularly convex; inner edge straight, so that the inner angle is squarish, 

 not rounded. 



Abdomen rather slender, not quite reaching the inner angle of the hind wings. 



Venation: Very much as hi Rhyscyntis, the broadly triangular discal cell of the fore wings 

 having the same shape as in that genus; vein II, [III, in revised nomenclature] arises, much as 

 Ehescyntis, quite far from the outer end of the discal cell; II 2 is wanting as in that genus; the 

 venation of the hind wings is also much as in Rhescyntis; the two discal veins make an angle, 

 the hinder one being very oblique, directed outward. In all these respects the venation differs 

 from any of the Bunaeinas, though nearest approach is that of Cremastochrysallis. 



Markings: Ground color ochreous, a clear small narrow inconspicuous lunate discal spot 

 on the fore wings. Hind wings like those of the anterior pair with no distinct lines; no discal 

 spot above, but a dark solid small one beneath. Its colors indicate that it is protected by its 

 resemblance to a sere faded pale sienna brown leaf. 



In its venation, notably in the vein III 3 being so much detached from the subcostal vein, 

 and becoming an independent one, this genus does not belong with the Bunaeinas, but should 

 provisionally be associated with Rhescyntis in the Agliinse. A glance at the figures will show 

 how closely the two genera agree in venation. On the other hand, the <? antennae are very 

 short, and the palpi are very small and short, almost vestigial, as in Cremastochrysallis arnobia 

 (Westw.). It will be interesting to see what light a knowledge of the larva and pupa will 

 throw on the affinities of this aberrant and rather highly specialized genus. 



Geographical distribution. — So far as known, the species are confined to the region in West 

 Africa in French Congo, near Cape Lopez, about the mouth of the Ogove River.

Imago. — 1 3 . Head, body, and wings pale ochreous brown, the head in front, breast, and 

 legs darker with a reddish ochreous tint. Collar and costal edge of fore wings whitish gray or 

 hoary. No distinct lines or bars, but the wings are variously spotted and mottled with sienna- 

 brown. A fine brown curved basal line, which is reddish, ending near the inner third of the 

 inner edge of the wing. Extradiscal line obscure, scalloped, marked by brick-reddish distinct 

 points on the veins. Discal spot indistinct, not easily seen, small, narrow about three times as 

 long as wide, and finely edged with dark-brown scales. Edge of wing pale reddish brown; 

 a large pale cloud between the discal spot and the outer edge. 



Hind wings like the fore wings, but more ochreous; no basal line. A zigzag submarginal 

 line chiefly indicated by the emphasized dark points of the scallops. 



Beneath much as above, but the discal spot a little more readily seen, and on the hind 

 wings there is a dark-brown line; a small distinct lunate, somewhat angular, discal spot. There 

 are no distinct lines. 



Expanse of fore wings, 3 70 mm. 

 Length of a single fore whig, 3 35 mm. 

 Breadth of a single fore wing, 3 19 mm. 

 Length of hind whig, 3 24 mm. 

 Breadth of hind wing, 3 19 mm. 

 This species has been described from the type specimen very kindly loaned by Dr. Holland, 

 director of the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh, Pa. It appears to differ from 6. impar Aurivill ius 

 in the hind wings not being so much produced behind; the fore wings are more acute; there are 

 no spots near the clear discal one; and the wings beneath show no violesc.ent shade. 



Geographical distribution. — Collected by Rev. A. C. Good at Kangwe, Ogove River, West 

 Africa. French Kongo, a little south of Cape Lopez, latitude 2° S. (about). 



Dr. Holland states that the female differs from the male in having the antennae very slightly 

 pectinated and quite short, the fore wings relatively broader, with the outer edge rounded from 

 the outer angle and very slightly produced at the apex.
