end of the anal vein, the outer gradate veins form a black line parallel 

 to the outer margin ; hindwings with a black spot at the base of the stigma 

 one on a crossvein below and a little before it, and two faint ones on 

 other crossveins from radial sector to radius, another near the end of 

 the cubitus. Forewings broad, acute at tip, almost falcate, the costal 

 margin at base plainly concave, the anal runs parallel to the fork of 

 cubitus for much less than the width of the wings. Hind wings narrow, 

 subfalcate at tip; eleven branches -of radial sector in both pairs. 

 Expanse 78 mm. 



From Deutsch Ost Afrika, Bex Lindi. (Berlin Museum). 



Creagris diana Kolbc. 



Of this magnificent species there are specimens from Lindi, 

 and Mohorovi, D. O. Afrika. Peringuey's recent species, 

 C. inclitus, seems to be the same form; his description agrees 

 • with the East African specimens. 



Creagris nubifer Kolbe. 



Specimens from Lindi, D. O. Afrika; Bismarcksburg, Togo, 

 and from Harrar, Abyssinia (Petersen coll.). Peringuey's 

 recent C. proximus from South Africa agrees with these speci- 

 mens. 



Creagris plumbeus (Oliv.) 



Specimens from Morocco, agree with the European form ; 

 they have a median dark stripe on the pronotum, and the long- 

 itudinal veins are faintly marked with dark. Also known from 

 Algeria. 



Creagris murinus (Klug). 



Egypt (Petersen coll.). The median marks on the pronotum 

 are in form of two approximate dark lines; the venation is 

 wholly yellowish. On Klug's plates it is figured as M. syriacns, 

 but in text described as M. murinus. 



Creagris africanus (Rambur). 



From D. O. Afrika, Sansibar, Victoria Nyanza, and D. S. 

 W. Afrika (Outyo). The legs are less marked than in C. muri- 

 nus, the median stripe on the pronotum is often absent, and the 

 wings are plainly more acuminate at tips than in C. murinus. 

 Peringuey's species, C. pseudo plumbeus from South Africa 

 seems to be the same species. It is probable that this and C. 

 murinus are but varieties of C. plumbeus; C. luteipennis, C. 

 lanceolatus Rbr., and C. lupin us Oliv., are also closely related 

 if not identical, and McLachlan suggests that several of Wal- 

 ker's Indian species also belong to C. plumbeus.
