Hab. Sierra Leone (Mabille) ; Gaboon (Good). 
I have the figure of a female Osmodes to which Mons. Mabille 
has affixed the name argenteigutta, and to the original type of which 
in the Staudinger collection he has attached the name argentei- 
puncta, It is undoubtedly the female of the species named 
adosus by him. I know this because I have specimens of the two 
taken in coitu.

9. Antenne, upperside of head, upper and lower side of thorax, 
and abdomen dark brown. The palpi on the underside are yellowish, 
The thorax on the upperside is clothed with a few obscure 
greenish scales. The primaries and segondaries on the upperside 
are dark brown. ‘There are two bright yellow confluent spots on 
the cell near the end, three subapical spots which are situated in 
the usual place, and a series of spots extending from vein 1 to the 
subapical spots constituting a sharply defined macular band upon 
the disc. The lower spot of the series in interval 1 is subtriangular. 
The spot in interval 2 is elongated, subquadrate, and the largest 
of the series. The spot in interval 3 is the same form as the spot 
in interval 2 but smaller. The spots in intervals 4 and 5 are 
minute, elongated. ‘I'he lower subapical spot is larger and elong- 
ated. The two upper subapical spots are small. In the 
secondaries there is a small circular yellow spot at the end of the 
cell, and beyond it an irregularly curved series of five discal spots 
likewise bright yellow. On the underside the primaries and 
secondaries are more obscure in colour than on the upperside, the 
spots and markings being, however, identical in form and position.

Type in my collection. 
I do not know the male of this species. The solitary female in 
my collection is, however, so totally distinct from every other 
species known to me that I do not hesitate to describe it as a new 
form.

gd. Antenne black. Upperside of palpi, head, thorax, and 
abdomen rufous-brown. Lower side of the palpi, thorax, and 
abdomen of the same colour, somewhat more obscure. The pri- 
maries on the upperside have the ground-colour bright rufous. The 
apex, the outer margin, and the outer half of the inner margin are 
broadly deep black. Beyond the end of the cell there is a broad 
irregular black spot. The costal margin and the base of the wing 
as far as the middle of the cell are fulvous, shading outwardly 
about the middle of the wing into blackish. The secondaries are
