20 Mr. W. F. Kii'by's Notes on the African 8aturniid(B 



AnthercBa Huhneri, n. sp. 



$. Exp. al. 4.^ in. Allied to A. Cytherea, Fabr. Uni- 

 form ochre-broAvn, with two pale convergent stripes on 

 each wing, the inner much less dentated than in A. Cythe- 

 rea, and edged with dusky internally ; the outer more dis- 

 tinctly edged with dusky externally. Ocelli slightly oval, 

 and rather larger on the hind Avings than on the fore wings ; 

 pupil white, surrounded with yellow, black and white rings. 

 Underside with the eyes distinct, but rather smaller ; the 

 outer pale stripe broader, and the inner wanting ; base of 

 wdngs darker than above. 



Figured in Hiibner's Sammlung, vol. i.^ as " Echidna 

 communi formis Cytherea." 



Locality unknown. 



The uniform colouration, the regularity and distinctness 

 of the transverse lines on both wings, and the more basal 

 position of the ocellus on the hind wings, Avhich usually 

 almost touches the outer line in Cytherea, will distinguish 

 this insect from any specimen or figure of that species 

 before me. The inner stripe is usually almost obsolete on 

 the hind wings in Cytherea, 



Eudamonia Argiphontes (Maassen in litt.). 



Exp. al. 3 — 3 J in. Length of tail, 5^ in. in i and 2| in. 

 in $ . Allied to Brachyura, Dru. (^Argus, Stoll); brown, 

 ? paler ; wings shaped as in Brachyura, and slightly scal- 

 loped, as in that species. A common dark stripe, edged 

 externally with whitish (at least on the fore wings, where 

 the costa is suffused with Avhitish between the stripe and 

 the apex), extends from the costa of the fore wings to the 

 inner margin of the hind wdngs, at about two-thirds of 

 the length of the wings. "Near the base of fore wings is 

 a similar stripe, more oblique and diverging from the 

 other, not reproduced below. Tails of the same shape as 

 in Brachyura, and edged with darker, as are also the 

 fringes of the wings. A narrow, pinkish line runs down 

 the greater portion of the tail in the $ ; the tails in the ? 

 are much more broadly edged with darker for two-thirds 

 of their length. Near the outer stripe of the fore wings 

 runs a row of four small vitreous spots, edged with yellow 

 and black, within which are two smaller detached spots in 

 the ? and one in the $ . The vitreous spots are larger.
