300. C. mErDa, Moeschler. 
Hesperia tlerda, Moeschler, Abhandl. Senckenb. naturf. Ges. 
Bd. xv. p. 65, pl. i. fig. 16 (1887). 
Pamphila ilerda, Karsch, Berl. Ent. Zeit. vol. xxxviii. p. 251 
(1893). 
Hab. Tropical West Africa. 
I have specimens of what are undoubtedly C. cylinda, Hew., 
which agree absolutely with the figure of zlerda given by Moeschler. 
_ Unfortunately Moeschler does not give a representation of the 
underside of his specimen, and I am therefore left in doubt as to 
whether the two species are identical. 
301. C. tactpa, Hew. (Plate I. fig. 14.) 
Hesperia lacida, Hew. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) vol. xviii. 
p. 453 (1876). 
Hab, Gaboon (Hewitson). 
The type of Hewitson is a female. 
302. C. ZAREMBA, Ploetz. (Plate V. fig. 5.) 
Telesto zaremba, Ploetz, 8. E. Z. vol. xlv. p. 376 (1884). 
Hab. Old Calabar (Ploetz) ; French Congo (Mocquerys). 
There are two somewhat damaged specimens in the collection of 
Dr. Staudinger. The reference to this genus seems proper, though, 
in the rubbed condition of the upperside of the secondaries of 
both examples, [ am unable to make sure of the presence of the 
tuft of long hairs upon the cell which is characteristic of most of 
the species of the genus. 
303. C. BaLENGE, Holl. (Plate I. fig. 3.) 
Proteides balenge, Holl. Ent. News, vol. ii. p. 4 (1891). 
Hab. Valley of the Ogové. 
The type is a female, and remains so far unique in my collection. 
A fine male is contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger. 
These are, so far as I know, the only examples extant in the 
museums of the world of this fine species, which is one of the 
largest of the African Hesperiide. The female and the male do 
not differ materially, except in size and the form of the wings, as 
is usual. 
304. C. sexrinis, Ploetz. 
Hesperia sextilis, Ploetz, 8S. E. Z. vol. xlvii. p. 89 (1886); 
Moeschler, Abhandl. Senck. naturf. Ges. Bd. xv. p. 64 (1887). 
Hab. Aburi (Ploetz). 
This species is stated by Moeschler to belong to the same group 
as C. calpis, Ploetz, by which sigu it might be located in the 
genus Hidari, were it not for the fact that in some way or other 
some German authors have come to traditionally regard the insect 
named cylinda by Hewitson as being the one designated as calpis 
by Ploetz. Moeschler is one of the authors who held this view,
