21. Cymotlide eris Auriv. ? (pi. XI, fig. 18). 



The female described by Aurivillius (Seitz, Macrolep. xiii, p. 151) 

 does not appear to belong to this species. We have three females 

 which agree with the 3 3 in the characteristic underside markings 

 and in the peculiar falcate shape of the fore wing. 



Upperside grey-brown. Fore wing with oblique discal line reaching 

 to vein 5 and bounding 5 or 6 white or grey-white spots, the one 

 in 2 being well-marked, the two nearest costa dusted with grey. A 

 postdiscal band of grey-brown crescents somewhat pointed proximally 

 and edged with grey-white on each side and distally more extended 

 in la, lb, and 2. A submarginal grey-brown zigzag line, marked 

 between the veins with black dashes. 



Hind wing with discal white or grey-white band about 5 mm. 

 broad, not entering the cell, reaching to the middle of lc and to 

 the costa, dusted with grey in 6 and 7, and strongly dentate on its 

 outer edge. Discal line faintly visible. A submarginal zigzag black- 

 brown line marked with black dashes between the veins, and edged 

 proximally with grey-white, leaving a postdiscal strongly dentate line 

 marking the distal edge of the white band. 



Underside with pale ochreous basal area and grey-white distal 

 area. The discal line on the hind wing passes close to the origin 

 of veins 3 and 4. 



Length of fore wing : 30-34 mm. 



This form bears very little resemblance to the ? of capella 

 Ward, is smaller, and has a markedly falcate fore wing. The more 

 distal position of the discal line on both wings is to be noted. The 

 resemblance to the caenis form eutlialioid.es Kirby is more marked, 

 but the reduced white on the fore wing and the position of the discal 

 line always distinguishes it from this. 



? Neallotype from Bafwaboli, Tshopo River, April, 1920, T. A. 

 Barns. Also one 2 from Kasai River, and one from Upper Kasai 

 District.
