anal extremity is aunulated on the lower side with brown, and at 

 the anal extremity there is a tuft of blackish hairs.

Tvpe in coll. Staudinger. 



Eab. Usagara, East Africa. 



This species is somewhat allied in its markings to O. aretina, 

 Hew., from which, however, it is abundantly distinct. It is 

 undoubtedly a good species.

1 have compared the specimens in my collection with the type 

 of C. aretiva. Hew., and find them to be identical. The repre- 

 sent ation of ApauMus dolus, Ploetz, given by Karsch, is a most 

 excellent representation of G. aretina, as is shown both by com- 

 parison with the insect and with a carefully executed figure of 

 the type made for me by Mr. Horace Knight, of London. Mons. 

 Mabille identified the specimens I took with me to Paris as his 

 OastrocJiceta allnventris, compaiing them with the type so labelled 

 in the Staudinger collection, which is now again before me as I 

 write. I cannot find any record of the publication of this name by 

 Mons. Mabille, but it may possibly have eluded the vigilance of 

 the compilers of the ' Zoological Hecord ' and others engaged in 

 similar work.

Uah. Cameroons. 



This insect is not congeneric with the type of Hypoleucis, which 

 is at best a very doubtful genus. It ap])ears to be more correctly 

 referred to the genus Gorgyra. With the exception of the type 

 and a single specimen contained in my collection I do not know 

 of any others in the museums of the world up to the present time. 

 The type is in the Staudinger collection.
