African Species of the Genus Neplis. 577 
H.-w. with a white discal band about 5 mm. wide, straight 
proximally, and outwardly rather indented at nervules. This 
followed by a pale discal line, and two or three submarginal lines. 
Underside. F.-w. as above but white marks more accentuated. 
No white at base of costa. H.-w. with slender white line on costa 
at base, followed by two more, the first broad, the second narrow 
and faint. Beyond the discal band the pale line forms a distinct 
row of whitish spots, and the first marginal line is widened into 
conspicuous white spots, the others broader and more distinct than 
above. 
I can find nothmg in Griinberg’s description of his 
nicodice to distinguish it from mixophyes, and there is but 
little except the continuity of the f.-w. submarginal lines 
to distinguish either from nicobule. However, as this is the 
principal distinction between agatha and seeldrayersi, it 
may be that nicobule is a separate species. Lack of 
material, all three forms being rare, has prevented me 
from making comparative preparations of the male 
armature, the only example available and apparently 
belonging to this species, isa female. The figure on Pl. XXII 
is really a photograph of Holland’s figure. I included this 
rather than the actual specimen in my possession, since 
the latter does not agree absolutely with Holland’s figure, 
having an additional spot in f.-w. on costa.

A full description of this species would be almost a 
repetition of that of mixophyes, and it will suffice to call 
attention to the slight differences. In Holland’s original 
figure the f.-w. cell mark is clavate and well rounded dis- 
tally instead of straight sided and pomted. The discal 
spots are small and rounded instead of elongated, and the 
submarginal lines are notably interrupted in 3. From an 
‘examination of the rather scanty material at my disposal 
I am inclined to think that the f.-w. submarginal lines 
furnish almost the only difference, and without much 
longer series I am unable to say whether even this is 
constant.
