PLATE V. 



SYRMOPTERA MELANOMITRA. f. i, ia. 



SYRMOPTERA MELANOMITRA Karsch. Ent. Nachr. 21, p. 308 (1895). 



Cameroons. Described as female. 



The type is a male and scarcely differs from that sex of S, homtyeri Dewitz, 

 Nov. Acta. Acad. N. Cur. 41. 2, p. 206, t. 26, f. 13 (1879). The female, however, 

 differs considerably from S. homtyeri female by having the anai area of the hind- 

 wing broadly suffused with orange. Mr. Bates obtained both sexes at Bitje, 

 Ja River, in both wet and dry seasons, and we also possess both sexes of 

 S. homtyeri from Afikpo, N. Nigeria. 



DEUDORIX DIEDEN. f. 2, 2a. 



DEUDORIX DIEDEN. Karsch. Ent. Nachr. xxvi, p. 369 (1900). West Madagascar. 



Very close, perhaps too close, to D. licinia Mabille Bull. soc. zool. Fr. 3, 

 p, 83(1878). 



HYPOMYRINA ACARES. f. 3, 3a. 



DENDORIX ACARKS. Karsch. B.E.Z. 38. p, 219 (1893). Togo. 



Possibly a form of H. nomenia Hew, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1874, p. 353. 

 Professor Aurivilius treats it as distinct. We have specimens, agreeing 

 exactly with the figure of Dr. Karsch's type, captured by Sir Alfred 

 Moloney at Lagos. 



HYPOMYRINA PERIGRAPHA. t. 4, 4 a. 



HYPOMYRINA PERIGRAPHA. Karsch. Ent. Nachr. 21, p. 313 (1895) Congo. 



ACTIS MIMETA. f. 5, 5a. 



ACTIS MIMETA. Karsch Ent. Nachr. 21, p. 315 (1895) Congo. 



Mr. G. L. Bates captured this beautiful little insect at Bitje, Ja River, 

 Cameroons, 2,000 ft., in the dry season, and Herr P. Landbeck has sent it 

 from the Upper Kasai district of the Congo Free State. The plate does not 

 shew the broad bright orange costal margin to the hind-wing above owing to 

 the photographic process, but it should be easily identified from the figure of 

 the under-side (5a)
