S. Leone. Laaos. 
Expanse 40-55 mm. Sepia black with white markings. F.-w. 
with a subclavate mark in cell followed by a transverse mark, 
beyond which are three longitudinal stripes in 4, 5, and 6, the first 
long, the last short and very narrow, and all distally divergent. 
An inner-marginal patch of two spots in la and 1), and two discal 
spots, a larger and a smaller in 2 and 3. These discal marks im- 
mediately followed by a delicate white line. Beyond this a line of 
white spots, transverse and linear in 1b to 3, crescentic in 4 and 5, 
and longitudinal and linear towards costa. Beyond this two fine 
submarginal lines broken by the nervules. 
H.-w. with white discal band from inner margin to 6, about 
4 mm. wide followed by a faint pale line. Beyond this a secondary 
discal band of white subquadrate spots followed by two very fine 
submarginal lines. 
Underside as above, but all white markings more extensive. 
F.-w. with white at base of costa extending to a point below origin 
of 2 in f.-w. Traces of an additional fine marginal line in both 
wings. 
N. paula is not rare in collections. The male armature 
is of so simple a character as to offer little suggestion in 
regard to affinity. The species has been bred from a 
pupa found by Lamborn near Lagos. The pupal skin is 
in the Hope Collection. The hind and inner margins 
of the wing-cases project so as to form prominent lateral 
ridges, and on the head there are two bifurcated horn-like 
projections.

Conco Reeion (Kassai, Kingour Forest). 
“ Expanse 50-55 mm. Sepia black with white markings. Fore- 
wing with a white cell streak, beginning at base und passing between 
nervures 4 and 5 to a point considerably beyond the origin of 3. 
Elongated inner-marginal spots in la and 1), distinctly separated. 
Two similar discal spots in 2 and 3 still more separated.
