NOTES TO PLATE V. 



By KAKL JORDAN. 



Fig. 1. Xiudho»pilopteri/x axtori Jordan, So>:. Zuul. xi. p. 44;> (l'.Ml4) (Sierra 

 Leone). Besides the female fignred we liave now a male siieciuien, 

 also obtained by D. Cator at Sierra Leone. The pair shows the same 

 sexual difference as is found in A', poyijei Dew. (1879), to which catoii 

 is closely related. The first six abdominal tergites of this male are 

 not black alwve at the base as in the ?, apart from a small mesial 

 dot at the base of the second (and apex of .the first) segment. The 

 two black antemedian spots on the forewing of the ? are represented 

 in the S by an uninterrupted band which extends to near SM- ; the 

 subapical buff-yellow band is completely separated from the median 

 band, the black interspace being much wider than in tlie ¥ . The 

 forewing is paler yellow and the liindwing deeper red than in the ?. 



Fig. •!. Ariii/rolepiilia aequalis intrgra id., I.e. xi. p. 446 (1904) (Choisenl). We 

 figure here a lai-gc ? from Isabel, the Choisenl and Isabel specimens 

 not being dilferent. Tiiis form looks very difl:erent from the forms in 

 which the white area of the hindwing is divided into two comparatively 

 small spots ; but we have all the iutergradations. 



Fig. 3. i'uix tii/as-mim Bartel (I9i.K3) (Nyassaland). The species is ajipareiitly 

 common near Bihii in Angola, whence we have a good series obtained 

 by H. Pembertou iu 19U1 and by Dr. Ansorge in 19U3 and l'.iU4. 



Fig. 4. Sindris mcujiiijica Jordan, Lr. xi. j). 417 (l'J04) (Angola). The two 

 specimens collected in 1875 by A. von Homeyer near Puugo Andongo 

 in Angola are yet the only ones we have. I)r. Ansorge did not meet 

 with this conspicuous Pyralid. 



Fig. 0. l'st'it(lo.'<piris jucaiiihi id., Lr. xi. ji. 444 (1004; (Angola). Besides the 

 series of specimens found by H. Pemberton, we have now also a luimber 

 of individuals procured by Dr. Ansorge in the neighbourhood of Bihe, 

 Angola. 



Fig. <J. JJHiyetia rediicta Uothsch. & Jord., I.e. x. p. 4S7 (19u;i) (Kulambangra). 

 This species has been found by A. S. Meek on Kulambangra (Hnbiana 

 group), Treasury and Bougainville. In some of the ? ? from the 

 last place the orange bands of the abdomen as well as the band on 

 the hindwing are nearly cas well developed as iu Isabel specimens of 

 B. splemlkla Butl. (18S7). Since ^plendida appears to be restricted 

 to Isabel, Gnadalcanar, Florida (and probably the other more southern 

 islands of the Solomons), rrducta and sjihutiUda may turn out to be 

 geographical forms of one species.
