M. duhia. Auriv., the description and ligiire of the latter agreeing well with our 

 series of dentata. 



M. nebulosa Felder, Reise yocara Lep. p. 502, is said to be from Guinea. 

 The only specimen in the Felder collection is labelled " Senegal, type." GuiJrin's 

 fuuebris, also from the Senegal, may have been based on an ocellate specimen of 

 the same species. 



M. angulosa Butl. is quite distinct from tuli/aris Butl.

Neocoenym duplex Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Land. 1885. p. 758. n. 4 (1886) (Somaliland) ; Auriv., I.e. 

 p. 7'2. n. 4 (1R09). 



Only 1 S, from Gololota, 18. vi. 1900. 



As the type of Ypthima Hiibner, Ver^. hd;. Srlnn. p. 6.3, is cassi/s L., according 

 to onr simplified treatment of composite genera [see Nov. Zool. x. Suppl. p. x.\ii. 

 (1903)] we employ for the following insects the term Calb/phthima, which is the 

 defined term coming next in priority after Ypthima, Strabcna being a nomcii nudum.

All the si)ecimens obtained by 0. Neumann as well as by Baron von Erlaiiger 

 diifer from typical /tonia in the underside being more rufescent and in the ocelli 

 of the imderside of the hindwing being absent or vestigial, only one of Baron von 

 Erlanger's specimens (Lake Awala, 17. xii. 1900) having a series of seven very small 

 ocelli. The clasper is unlike that of any other African species of Callyphthima, 

 being broad and apically bilobate. On the innerside there is an apical hmgitadinal 

 ridge, which is higher in the Abyssinian specimens than in our West African 

 ones. We have not sufiScient material for studying the geographical and seasonal 

 variation of the species, and therefore abstain from giving a name to the present 

 uou-ocellate form of itonia. SO" of the forewing is distal of the upj)er angle of 

 the cell. Aurivillius, I.e., had some doubts about hoehneli being distinct from 

 itonia. The description of hoehneli seems to ns to agree perfectly with our specimens 

 of itonia from East Africa.

This species seems to be very common in the regions traversed by 0. Neumann 

 and Baron von Erlanger. Most specimens are without ocelli on the underside
