Hesperidse, Leacli. 



Genus Sarangesa*, Moore.

Eritcs, Mabille. 



Hyda, Mabille. ,

$ . The upperside is prevalently dark fuscous, with darker 

 cloudings near the margins and a few obscurely defined dark 

 spots and bands on the bnibal area of both wings. There is 

 a large black spot at the end of the cell and two minute 

 translucent subapical spots near the costa of the primaries. 

 The underside is much as the upper, but paler, and the 

 markings of the upperside are reproduced upon the lower side, 

 but are still more obscure. Lower side of palpi greenish 

 grey. 



Expanse of wings 27 millim. 



Hah. Valley of the Ogove. 



Type in Collection Holland.

(J. Resembling 6'. '>«oi!6>r«', Wallengr., but may be distin- 

 guished by the fact that the lower wing is broadly yellow 

 upon the underside except at the outer angle and the costa, 

 which are brown. The wing is also traversed by a subbasal 

 and median curved band of small spots. 



$ . Much darker than the male upon the lower surface and 

 ])aler than upon the upper surface of the male. The trans- 

 lucent vitreous spots in this sex are also much larger, espe- 

 cially the spot near the origin of the second and third median 

 nervules, which is relatively very large and subquadrate. 



There are numerous other minor points of distinction 

 between this species and the true niotozi] but the prevalence 



* Moiis. P. Mabille lias recently created a genus under the name Hyda 

 for tbe reception of his species micacea and tricercda, and another genus, 

 to which he gives the name Erifes, and to whicli he refers djcelcclce and 

 allied species. He has also referred to a genus Sape (? =Sapcca, Ploetz) 

 motozi of Wallengren and allied forms. A thoroughly critical examina- 

 tion of the neuration and sexual organs of these species made by 

 Mr. Watson at the British Museum shows that ihey are all truly refer- 

 able to the genus Sarangesa of Moore, and therefore Hyda and -Erifes of 

 Mabille sink as synonyms. The type o^ SaiJcca, Ploetz, is Abantis bicolor 

 of Trimen, which is strictly congeneric with A. tettentis, Hopff., the type 

 of Abantis. Therefore Sapoea likewise falls.
