iiicdiaii line evenly curved, first discal line (|iiite sti'aiglil, (ililii|iie, the (itlier diseal 

 lines (jiiite indistinct, ai)iiarently dentate as in numoaar, the postdiscal line also 

 indistinct, indicated by vein-dots, an ill-detiiied russet submargiual patch between 

 SC'' and W, a small jiatcii of the same colour near liinder angle at inner margin ; 



anal j)atch of liindwing narrower than in niimome and rox,ea. Underside : discal 



line of forewing straight; hindwing with a denticulate jjostdiscal line, more or 

 less double ; discal line almost touching cell, more ])ro.\imal behind and less curved 

 than in numosac. Midtibia with white basal sjiot, hindtibia white above. 



Tenth tergite closely resembling that of cori/ndoni (PI. XXV. f. lo), being 

 very dissimilar to that oi'J'/dt/uran.f and rosea, flatter than in coryndoni, less curved 

 downward, and wider before the end ; the sternite also as in con/ndoni, curved 

 upwards. No friction-organ. C'lasper short (PI. XXXIV. f. :.') irregular in shape ; 

 a longitudinal fold dividing the inner surfiice into a dorsal and a ventral part ; the 

 harpe has a ventral ridge jic, which is denticulate and ends in a short hook {piyf) 

 partly concealed by the mesial fold. Penis-fnnnel (p-f) produced at each side 

 side into a short, pointed lobe ; penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 2'.») with a ventral patch 

 of teeth at the apex, the jiatch continued on to the inner side of the sheath.

Hab. Congo. 



In the Tring Museum 1 S labelled Congo 1868 ; it is doubtless the species 

 intended by Walker's descrij)tion, and may have come from the same collection ; 

 it had a gilded pin. 



21*1. Polyptychus fumosus spec. nov. (PI. II. f. Kt, S). 



S . Similar to sub'/ectua: in pattern : forewing more grey, hindwing deeper 

 brown. Apex of forewing jjroduced into a lobe, distal margin slightly dentate, 

 concave in front and behind, hinder angle projecting, first discal line more oblique 



than in suhjertus. Hindwing denticulate, fringe white-spotted below, with a 



brown-black anal mark which is thinner than above. 



Tenth tergite very broad, rounded, entire ; sternite with a narrow, compressed, 

 })ointed, mesial jirocess, which is slightly curved upwards. Clasper short, irregular 

 in shape ; middle part deeply concave, with a hairy ventro-dorsal fold, the cavity 

 partly covered by a dorsal fold and the projecting edge of the non-concave apical 

 part of the clasjier ; harjie ending in a curved hook which is preceded by a 

 triangular tooth. Penis-funnel ])roduced at each side into a long process ; 

 penis-sheath with a niultidentate process at the edge curving inside.

217. Polyptychus falgurans spec. nov. (PI. II. f. 14, S). 



(?. Tongue short and weak. Joint of palpus open. D- of hindwing a little 

 longer than U', curved ; lower angle of cell acute. Body greyish, mixed with 

 chestnut ; sides of frons, middle of occiput and of pronotum, metanotum and base 

 of abdomen, palpus and breast, chestnut ; mesothoracic tegula more grey ; edges of 

 abdominal segments thinly white. Antenna deeply grooved, segments ventrally 

 less sinuate than in rosea, and, in a ventral view, not so thin in the middle. Spurs
