14 AEKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 10. N:0 15. 



In the forewing — sometimes also indicated in the hindwing — 

 M and Cu^ have each four corresponding dark streaks con- 

 nected with dark cross veins. The »oblique vein» nearer to 

 the cubital fork than to the origin of the first sector from 

 Cu^. The radial plicate hne in the forewing arises from first 

 branch from Rs before the origin of second branch, and the 

 connecting-vein between these two branches rather short. 



I am sure that several of the NAVAs'ian species from 

 Africa, f. inst. difficilis, perversa, mordax and iracunda, are 

 only sononyms of C. distincta. I have seen a specimen of 

 Sogra iracunda, determined and named by Na vas himself, in 

 Vienna Mus.; this specimen was a true distincta.

As it will be seen of the above named localities the 

 species has a wide range in Africa. 



Centroclisis distincta var. liiieatipeiinis Péringuey. — 

 Ann. South Afr. Mus., p. 443, pl. VIII, fig. 8, 1910. 



I consider the species of Péringuey only as a variety 

 of Rambur's species. The colour of the body, the nervation 

 of the wings and the appendages of the male are quite the 

 same; the only difference is the strongly shaded M, Cu^ and 

 cross veins, lying between these two longitudinal nervures, 

 in the forewing.

In the female from Abessinia and in the male from Ki- 

 gonsera only the M is shaded, and they form a fine connecting- 

 link between distincta and the typical lineatipennis. In the 

 female from Mukimbungu the shade is very strong, and also 

 the intercubital plicate line in the forewing is shaded where 

 it arises from Cwj.
