 side exactly like that of the ? ; head, thorax, and abdomen all dark grey. 



Ex])anse of wings : 'iC^ mm. 



One (J, one ?, "Warri, River Niger; the o dated February, the ? June, 1896 

 (Dr. Hoth). 



The forewings of the <S are much narrower and more elongate than those of the 

 ? , the hindmargin more oblique and not convex ; the hindwings more rounded, the 

 tooth at vein 4 not so ])rominent as in ? . Though taken at different dates, and so 

 dissimilar at first sight in ajipearance, I feel sure they are sexes of the same sjieeies. 



The ? is very much like the ? of G. di sting uenda AVarr. from Natal.

Forf.icings : white, densely striated with fuscous, and with the basal and mar- 

 ginal areas more or less suffused with fuscous and ochreous scales ; the lines black ; 

 first at one-fourtli, curved below costa, shortly indented on the median vein, then 

 obliquely curved inwards ; median line also curved below costa, then obliciue, 

 sometimes preceded by a dark line in the lower half, sometimes thick and diti'use 

 throughout : exterior line outcurved from costa, forming a narrow rectangular 

 projection beyond cell, then irregularly waved to inner margin at two-thirds, 

 followed below middle by a thick fuscous shade, which leaves two or three spots of 

 white beyond the line ; this shade becomes black between veins 3 and 4 ; sub- 

 marginal line obscurely jialer, preceded on costa by a dark blotch : a dark black- 

 streaked cloud on hindmargin ojiposite the cell : cell-spot black, distinct : all the 

 lines thickened on costa, the exterior line followed on costa by an oclireous or white 

 spot ; fringe mottled, dark and light fuscous, with a pale base beyond a line of 

 black marginal luniiles. 



Hindwings : with a dark, sometimes diffuse, antemedian line and a dentate 

 jiostmedian one : submarginal line pale, preceded by a dark fascia containing black 

 blotches in the middle ; fringe as in forewings. 



Underside white, with coarse dark speckles ; middle and exterior lines isartially 

 double, the latter followed by a fuscous fascia, which is diffused to hindmargin 

 opiwsite the cell in both wings, and in the forewings is extended to the apex : the 

 cell-spots black. Head, thorax, and abdomen cinereous, mottled with fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : J , 30 mm. ; ? , 32 mm.

Fore-wings : purplish grey ; the basal area browner, edged by a sinuate brown 

 line, and containing the l)asal line, which is angled below costa : second line brown, 

 only slightly angled below costa, the angulation filled up by the purplish grey shade, 

 which protrudes somewhat above the median vein : the white central fascia has 

 therefore its edges both irregularly curved, instead of straight ; a broad blackish 

 fascia beyond second line, forming a square black blotch on costa, edged ]>j the paler 

 but indistinct submarginal line ; marginal area purjilish grey; a dark marginal line; 

 fringe purplish, flecked with white below apex and above anal angle ; the white 

 fascia is much freckled with brown towards costa and contains tlic black cell-spot. 



Hindwings : with the basal area short, not reaching beyond the middle of inner 

 margin, the white fascia therefore running to the margin just beyond middle and
