shorter second partition of the median nervure to the forewings, this partition in 

 Xanthospilopteri/x lieing longer than the respective portion of the outer margin. 



Chelonomorpha Motsch. is distinguished from the new genus by tlie presence 

 of a conical frontal horn, the more hairy palpi, hairy abdomen, and again the longer 

 second partition of the median vein to the forewings. 



Felder's I. doleschalli is a synonym of saturata (Wlk.). Besides snhirata the 

 following species must come in the new genus : — 



Immetnlia longipalpis (Kirsch), Mitth. Mus. Ih-escl. I. p. 130. n. Ul. t. 7. f. 12 

 (1877) (Rubi, X. Guinea). As said above (p. 27), this species varies in the coloui- of 

 the hands from white to orange, and is also not constant in the size and shape of the 

 markings. It has received five names :— 



1. I. lonfjipalpis (Kirsch) is based upon a female with the hand of 

 the forewings yellow and that of the hindwings orange. 



2. /. briijini (Oberth.), Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. XV. t. 4. f. (i (1880) (no 

 description, no habitat), is based upon a female with the band white on 

 either wing. 



3. /. doreana (Swinh.), Cat. Lep. Het. Oxf. I. p. 164. n. 762. t. 5. 

 f. 4 (1892) (Dorey), is based upon n female (according to the figure), not 

 a nude as Swinhoe says, with the bands white and rather narrow, that of 

 the forewings being also rather longer than in ordinary examples. 



4. /. eynaspes (Druce), Ami. Mag. N. H. (6). XH'. p. 22 (1895) 

 (X. Guinea), is described from a male with the bands white, and a female 

 with the band on the forewing white and that on the hindwing orange. 



5. I. pi-ochyta (Druce). I.e. (X. (iuinea),is n female with (he hand on 

 either wing orange. 



William Doherty found all these forms together at Huniboldt Hay. Dutch 

 N. Guinea, September to October 1892. The male sex has apparently the bands 

 always white, as is the case in /. saturata (Wlk.). Our series of twenty-one specimens 

 exhibits a good deal of variation in the extent of the bands.

 same; Swinhoe, Gat. Lepj. Het. Oxf p. 162. n. 752 (1892), gave, josioides Wlk. already 

 as a synonym of befrnsteini. ^- ^■ 



8. Immetalia bernsteini angustiplaga Rothsch. subsp. now 

 Male and female: this form differs from typical bernsteini Voll. in the much 

 longer band of the forewings and the much narrower patch of the hindwings, and in 

 the luteous apical fringe being more conspicuous ; a striking difference also is that 

 the patch of the hindwings gradually becomes narrower till it ends up almost in a 

 point at the anal angle, while in the typical form it is uniformly wide.

9. Immetalia meeki Rothsch. sp. nov. 



M'de differs from lonrjipalpjis (Kirsch) in the band of the forewings being 



3 millimetres wide, and reaching from the costa to almost the anal angle, just 



crossing submedian vein. It is of almost equal breadth from costa to lower median 



vein, while beyond to the submedian it is much narrower. Discal orange area of
