Upperside. Female rufous. Anterior wing with the apical half dark brown 

 marked by several white spots ; one from the subcostal nervure large and tritid, one 

 minute below this, a transverse band of three spots between these and a submarginal 

 band of six. Posterior wing with a series of submarginal spots and the outer margin 

 brown. 



Underside ochreous. Anterior wing tinted with lilac towards the apex, and 

 outer margin : the spots of the upperside indistinct, the largest white spot divided into 

 three separate spots : three spots within the cell and two below these very indistinct, 

 a small white spot between the first and second median nervules and a linear brown 

 band between it and the inner margin. Posterior wing crossed before the middle by 

 a very irregular band of linear curved spots followed by two bands of ill-defined spots- 

 the first of large and oval spots the second which is submarginal of smaller spots. 



Exp. 4x5 inches. Hab. West Africa. (Angola, Monteiro.) 



For this species the largest of the geuus I am indebte'd to the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Monteiro. 

 It scarcely differs ahove from the female of Cocalia except in the more semicircular form of the 

 posterior wing. On the underside, which I have had difficulty in figuring and describing from the 

 indefinite form and indistinct colouring of the spots, it is altogether different.
