Imago. — Characters generally of Eurytela. Antcnnce with a longer 

 club ; eyes smooth. Thorax rather thicker, more rounded. Fore- 

 wings : not apically produced ; hind-margin not angulated or dentated, 

 but very slightly sinuated. Hind-ioings : not so prominently humped 

 near base ; hind-margin rather more decidedly sinuated than on fore- 

 wings. Middle- and hind-legs with the tibiee and tarsus more spiny, 

 and the tibial spurs longer. Abdomen more slender and much longer. 



Pupa. — Slender, elongate, especially in abdominal region ; anal 

 extremity with suddenly-narrowed point of attachment from blunt end 

 of abdomen. Cephalic prominences well-marked, acutely pointed ; 

 dorso-thoracic elevation highly ridged to a sharp point ; edges of wing- 

 covers prominently ridged at 'shoulders and again at posterior angles, 

 forming strong projections laterally ; between these two hinder projec- 

 tions, at base of back of abdomen, a pointed tubercular prominence ; 

 two minute tubercular points on median line of back, about midway 

 between base and extremity of abdomen. Antennee-covers prominent. 



(These characters of the pupa are given from a living example 

 sent to me by Colonel Bowker at the beginning of December 1878, 

 from Natal.) 



The elongated abdomen and almost entire hind-margins of the 

 wings are the features which mainly distinguish Hypanis from Eury- 

 tela. Its pattern and colouring are, however, highly characteristic, the 

 fulvous-ochreous upper side being varied with black bands and irregular 

 markings, while the under side of the hind- wings is remarkable for the
