Hah. Aburi (Ploetz); Freetown {Mahille); Cameroons {Good); 

 Togoland (Karsch). 



Having before me a drawing of the typo of Ploetz, executed by 

 Prillwitz, which is reproduced in the Plate, and the type of 

 Mabille, loaned me by Dr. Staudinger, I am positively satisfied as 

 to the identity of the two.

Mons. Mabille writes me that the species of Karsch is absolutely 

 identical with his S. heterogyna, in which opinion, with the type 

 before me as I write, I am able to positively concur. But the male 

 of S. heterociyna is most certainly identical with C. pillaana, 

 Wallgr. I am not alone in this opinion. Dr. Staudinger writes 

 me that Prof. Aurivillius has most unqualifiedly given in his 

 adhesion to this view on examination of specimens submitted to 

 him. The female, the type of which is before me, might have 

 served the artist for the drawing of C. adeliea given by Dr. Karsch, 

 and differs from the rather crude figure of the female of 0. pillaana, 

 Wallgr., given by Trimen in being paler, and having a sharply 

 defined black spot on the underside of the secondaries near the 

 inner margin. With only the female sex before me I might have 

 hesitated a little to make the above synonymy, but the identity of 

 the male with 0. pillaana being so positively certain, I do not doubt 

 the correctness of what I have given above.
