1920] Holland, Lepiduptera of the Congo 149 



That the distinction between these forms may be clear I have given 

 figures of them on Plate VII. The females, so far as I can ascertain, 

 have never before been depicted. 



Of P. stygia shjgia, the collection contains six males taken at 

 Niangara in November; two males and one female caught at Medje in 

 July and August; and one female captured at Bafwaboli, September 10, 

 1909. Of P. stygia gregon'i, there are eight males caught at Medje, one 

 in April, the rest in July and August; and two males taken at Niangara 

 in November 1910. Of P. stygia fuscata , there are sixty-one males and 

 six females, all taken at Medje, except one male captured at Bafwaboli, 

 September 10, 1909; those taken at Medje were caught in July and 

 August, except a few taken in April,

The collection contains seventy-two males and twenty females of this 

 species. Two of the females were taken at Leopoldville, two at Medje, 

 and sixteen at Niangara. One male was taken at Bafwaboli, September 

 1909, and eleven at Medje, June to August 1910. The remaining sixty 

 males were taken mostly at Niangara, in November 1910, though a few 

 specimens are labelled as taken at Faradje, in the same month and year, 

 and one or two at Medje. The females are somewhat greater in 

 expanse of wing and lighter in color than the males, but there is no 

 great variation between the sexes.

 Precis ceryne Aurivillius, 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 223, PL Lid. 



Four males taken at Faradje and labelled " 1911-1912." They are 

 all of the wet-season form of the species. 



Kallimula, new genus 



Allied to Precis Hlibner and Junonia Hiibner, but differing in having the fore 

 wings strongly falcate at the apex and deeply excavated on the outer margin below 

 vein 6; the hind wings either strongly produced or evenly rounded opposite the end 

 of the cell, the margins more or less entire and strongly produced, or tailed, at the 

 anal angle; both wings crossed near the middle by light bands, generally some shade 

 of red, pink, or ochreous, though in one form (K. harpyia) these bands are shot with 

 blue over the red. 



Type, Kallimula osborni, new species.
