 , Donovan in his plate figures the female of this species, which 

 may always be recognized by the elongate marginal spot on the 

 secondaries beyond the end of the cell. This spot has the form of 

 a parallelogram, and does not fuse with the adjacent spots so fully 

 as is the case in the male, where its sharp outlines are lost in the 

 spots on either side of it. Dr. Staudinger gives a good figure of 

 the male in his ' Exotische Schmetterlinge.' Mons. Mabille kindly 

 determined for me a number of species upon the occasion of a 

 recent visit to Paris, among them Pardaleodes fxdg ens, Mab. The 

 specimens so determined are undoubtedly 0. galenus, Fabr., ^ . I 

 have a series of nearly 100 specimens of both sexes, some of them 

 taken in coitu, and am satisfied of the correctness of the synonymy 

 given as above. 



This is one of the commonest of West-African butterflies and is 

 found from Senegambia to Upper Angola, and Manica (THmen).

Having seen the types of P. rutilans, Mab., and of P. tergemira. 

 Hew., and a carefully executed copy of the drawing of T. ivoer- 

 manni, J , made by Ploetz, I have not a shadow of doubt as to the 

 correctness of the above synonymy.
