 27° lat. ; Madagascar. 



[Section XVIII. — Representative : Eidimene, Klug. 



Fore-wings moderately produced apically ; apex itself rather 

 rounded. 



White, ivith rather small ochrcous-ycUow (in $ shot with pink) apiccd 

 patch, outiuardly very narrowly, imvardly broadly, black bordered ; ter- 

 minal disco-cellular black spot very large. Under side white, %oith 

 neumtioii mostly orange-red ; hind-margins tinged with sulphur-yellow ;

I Species. — Eidimene, Klug. 



Range. — Eastern North-Tropical Africa.] 



Section XIX. — Representative : Clirysonome, Klug. 



Fore- wings as in Section IV., but hind-wings with second sub- 

 costal nervule originating at, or only a little distance before, extre- 

 mity of discoidal cell, which is considerably less than half length of 

 wing. 



Creamy ochreous-ycUoiv with white bases, black Idnd-marginal borders

 Butl. ; Protomedia, Klug. 



Range. — All Africa except Extra-Tropical Northern to west of 

 Egypt, and Extra-Tropical Southern to south of 30° lat. 



It will be seen from the above analysis that twelve of the nineteen 

 sections are represented in South Africa, and the same number in 

 North-Tropical Africa, while South- Tropical Africa is richer than both 

 by one section. Twelve sections are peculiar to Africa, including
