66 Colonel C. Swinhoe on 



Deilemera perspicua. 



Nydemera persijicua, Walker, ii, 398 (1854). 



Ten examples from Sierra Leone, OM Calabar, and the 

 Congo, including the type. 



Deilemera biformis. 



Nyclithcmcra hiformis, Mab., Bull. Soc. Zool. Fr., iii, p. 87 



(1878). 

 Nyetenura hiformis, Pag., Jahrb. Nas.s. Ver. Naturk., 1901, 



p. 149. 

 Nydmura mcibillei, Butler, Eut. Mo. Mag., xix, p. 57 



(1882). 



Two males and one female (Butler's type) from 

 Madagascar. 



In Ent. Mo. Mag., xix, p. 57, Butler says, that as they 

 have received in the B. M. a black female from Madagascar 

 almost exactly like the male, the white insect described 

 by Mabille cannot be the female of hiformis. I have care- 

 fully examined this so-called black female ; it is not a female, 

 but a male with frenulum and retinaculum complete, 

 and I cannot therefore see why this white female should 

 not be the female of hiformis, and it must stand as such 

 until proved otherwise. 



Deilemera apicalis. 



Kydcmrra a^nraiis, Walker, ii, 395 (1854). 



Waterhouse, Aid, pi. 178, f. 4 (1880). 

 Pag., Jahrb. Nass. Ver. Naturk., 1901, 

 p. 145. 



One example (type) from W. Africa, and one from 

 Ashanti. 



Kirby put tricolor, Felder, as a var. of this species, 

 and Pagenstecher dues the same ; but judging from 

 Felder's figure I do not believe this to be correct, apicalis 

 having a very broad discal pure white band. 



Deilemera restricta. 



Leptosoma restrictum, Butler, P. Z. S,, 1894, p. 585, 

 Nyctemera rcstrictuvi, Pag., Jahrb. Nass. Ver. Natuik., 

 1901, p. 146. 



Four examples from E. Africa, including the type.
