 Copaxa gemmifera Butler, 1878, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 387. 



Two male specimens taken at Medje, one in August, the other in 

 September. This insect seems to be not uncommon on the Ogove 

 River and in Cameroon. I possess a good series of both sexes. The 

 females are paler than the males, the yellow of the wings of the males 

 being replaced in the females by white and the outer borders both of the 

 primaries and secondaries being quite broadly laved with pale brown. 

 Some of the males are also whitish, rather than yellow. Attached to a 

 female specimen in my collection is the following manuscript note by 

 the late Dr. A. C. Good: "Taken 5.30 p. m., October 6, 1891, on forest- 

 path. This moth begins to fly just before dark and may occasionally be 

 met along forest-paths at that time, or flying across open spaces. It 

 never stays long out of the forest."

Three male specimens taken at Medje, two in June and one in 

 August. They agree very well with the figure of the male given by 

 Distant, so far as their worn condition permits comparison.

 as a synonym of Attacus {Imbrasia) epimethea Drury. We have long
