known to me, though coming noarer certain species of Osmodes 

 than any others. 1 have therefore not hesitated to erect a new 

 genus for its reception.

Jfab. "West Africa. Common in the valley of the Ogove. 



I have specimens determined by Mons. Mabille and compared

Ilah. Tropical West Africa. Common at Gaboon and on Congo ; 

 Togoland (Karsch). 



The female differs from the male in not having the extremity of 

 tlie abdomen white and having the wings broader. The figure of 

 G. cretacea given by Snellen exaggerates slightly the pale markings 

 on the underside of the secondaries, whUe that given by Karsch 

 does not show them as they are commonly found. I have speci- 

 mens, however, which agi-ee nearly with both representations, and 

 which reveal that there is considerable variation in the distinctness 

 of these markings. My collection contains a series of forty 

 specimens taken at different times and places.
