Mycalesis toenias Hewitson, 1877, Exot. Butt., V, PI. Mycalesis and Idiotnorphus, 

 fig. 66. AuRiviLLius, 1911, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p.87, PI. xxviib. 



Represented by a single male specimen taken at Niangara and 

 belonging to the lot of insects collected at that place between November 

 26 and December 2, 1910.

Mycalesis ignobilis Butler, 1870, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, p. 124; 1871, Lep. 

 Exot., p. 55, PI. XXI, fig. 4. AuRiviLLius, 1911, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, 

 p. 87, PI. XXVI16. 



This species, which is quite common in the Ogove valley, is re- 

 presented in the present collection by five males and a female which 

 were taken at Medje in September 1910. 



(77) 5. Mycalesis asochis Hewitson 



Mycalesis asochis Hewitson, 1865, Exot. Butt., Ill, Mycalesis, PI. vii, figs. 46, 47. 

 AuRiviLLius, 1911, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 88, PI. xxviic. 



Of this not uncommon species there are four males and one female. 

 One male was captured at Gamangui, June 19, two were taken at 

 Medje in July and August, the female was taken at the same place on 

 August 6, and one male is ticketted as from ''Niangara, November 

 to December 4, 1910." From this record it appears that the insect 

 must have at least two broods annually.

Mycalesis sambulos Hewitson, 1877, Exot. Butt., V, PI. Mycalesis and Idiomorphus, 

 figs. 63, 64. AURIVILLIUS, 1911, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 89, PL xxviic. 



There are two males in the collection, both taken at Medje, one on 



July 12, the other on August 24, 1910. 



(79) 7. Mycalesis mandanes Hewitson 



Mycalesis mandanes Hewitson, 1873, Exot. Butt., V, Mycalesis, PI. ix, figs. 61, 62. 

 AURIVILLIUS, 1911, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 89, PI. xxviic. 



Professor Aurivillius in his ' Rliopalocera ^Ethiopica,' p. 53, sank 

 this species as a synonym of M. auricruda Butler, but in Seitz, 'Die 

 Gross-Schmetterlinge des Afrikanischen Faunengebietes,' p. 89, he 

 restores it to its rightful place as a distinct species. The outhne of the 

 hind wings, which are much more elongate than in M. auricruda, is 

 enough, without the manj^ differences in the markings of the under side 

 of the wings, to reveal its distinctness. 



Two males taken at Medje in July 1910.
