 apex at termination of nervules. Hind wing as above.

Exp. ^ 60 millim. ; ? 63-66 millim. 



Hal. Malanje, British Central Africa. 



Very closely allied to M. rupiiellii, Koch, and M. yulci, 

 Butl. The male may easily be distinguished from the 

 former by the much smaller basal orange patch ; this patch 

 is also smaller than in yulci, Butl. ; other respects in 

 which it diifers from Butler's species are the pure white of 

 the wings below and more distinct submarginal spots. 

 The female differs in much the same way but in a less 

 degree. The upper discocellular of the fore wing is more 

 oblique in the new species than in ru'ppclli, Koch.

 dark spot as above, but less distinct. Hind wing orange-yellow.
