In the colleotion of the Stockholm Museum one specimen 

 (wanting the abdomen) was present. It seems to be an old 

 specimen, and it is labelled »Cape» and y> Palpares manicatus 

 Rbr., tigris Dalm.» In my own colleotion several specimens 

 from Erythrea (Gunnar Kristensen leg.) and from Congo 

 Beige (Jensen-Tusch leg.). In the forewing Rs arises further 

 out than the cubital fork, and it furcates generally into the 

 cellule at its base. In the hindwing Rs arises a little beyond 

 the cubital fork, and it furcates into the first or the second 

 cellule from its origin. The »oblique vein» is placed in the 

 middle between the cubital fork and the origin of the first cu- 

 bital sector. In this species the second branch from Rs arises 

 often in such a manner that there seems to be two radial 

 sectors. On such a specimen with divergent nervation Navas 

 has founded his genus Nosa (Revue Zool, Afric, p. 239, 1911). 

 In the very same specimen of this species one or two wings 

 have normal nervation, and the other wings divergent ner- 

 vature.
