300. C. ILBBDA, Moeschler. 



Hesperia ilerda, Moeschler, Abhandl. Senckenb. naturf. Ges. 

 Bd. XV. p. 65, pi. i. fig. 16 (1887). 



Pamphila ilerda, Karsch, Berl. Ent. Zeit. vol. xxxviil. p. 251 

 (1893). 



Hah. Tropical West Africa. 



I have specimens of whab are undoubtedly 0. cylinda. Hew., 

 which agree absolutely with the figure of ilerda given by Moeschler. 

 Unfortunately Moeschler does not give a represeutation of the 

 underside of his specimen, and I am therefore left in doubt as to 

 whether the two species are identical. 



301. C. LAciDA, I-Iew. (Plate I. fig. 14.) 



Hesperia lacida. Hew. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) vol. xviii. 

 p. 453 (1870). 



Hah. Gaboon (Hcwitson). 



The type of Ilewitson is a female. 



302. C. ZAiiRMfiA, Tlo'itz. (Plate V. fig. 5.) 



Tdesto zaremha, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xlv. p. 376 (1884). 



Hah. Old Calabar (^Ploetz) ; French Congo (Mocqueri/s). 



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, I am unable, to malvc 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. DAI.BNGH, IIolI. (Plate I. fig. 3.) 

 Proteides halenge, HoU. Ent. News, vol. ii. p. 4 (1891). 

 Hd). Valley of the Ogove. 



The type is a female, and remains so far unique iii 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 Hesperiidte. The female and the male do 

 not diSer materially, except in size and the form of the wings, as 

 is usual. 



304. 0. SEXTiLis, Ploetz. 



Hesperia sextilis, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xlvii. p. 89 (1886); 

 Moeschler, Abhandl. Senck. naturf. Ges. Bd. xv. p. 64 (1887). 



Hah. Aburi {Ploetz). 



This species is stated by Moeschler to belong to the same group 

 as C. calpis, Ploetz, by which sign it might be located in the 

 genus ffidari, 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. MoescUer is one of the authors who held this view;
