Genitalia. 

 E. actisanes Hew. (pi. V, fig. 4). 



Valve elongated for a quarter of its length and produced to a highly- 

 chitinized and pointed hook. About one third of the organ is strongly 

 chitinized, the remainder much less so. Connecting setose membrane 

 developed from the inner median surface of the valve and apparently 

 connected with the non-setose or ventral surface of the ventral plate. 



Ventral plate somewhat oblong and large in proportion to the 

 valves. 



Uncus strongly flexed ventrally. 



Scaphium notched medianly. 



E. personata (pi. V, fig. 5). 



Valve similar to actisanes. Connecting setose membrane developed 

 as in enotrea, proceeding from the ventral edge and joined to the basal 

 edge of the ventral plate. 



Ventral plate similar to actisanes. 



Uncus similar to actisanes but more hook-like. 



Scaphium more strongly notched than in actisanes. 



16. Byblia acheloia crameri Auriv. f. nigrifusa forma nov. 



This aberration has the yellow markings on the upperside much 

 reduced and suffused with black. 



One ? specimen was taken by Mr. Barns in an open part of the 

 forest on the Lindi River, near Bafwasende, April, 1920.
