other figures can be accepted as belonging to no. 13, and indeed 

 the last short joint of the labial palpi is found in N. Ledereri. 

 But as I have not now before me N. (B.) Olivieri, I do not know, 

 if this species has similar labial palpi. I may draw attention to 

 the posterior wings in Savigny's figures. In f. 13, they have two 

 darker bands before the tip, the second one very pale (as I find it 

 also in some N. Ledereri) but the tip hy aline ; in f. 14, the second 

 band covers the whole tip, which is not hyaline. This does not agree 

 with Olivier's description: " les ailes inferieures sont brunes, de- 

 puis la base jusqu'au de la du milieu, ensuite blanchatres, avec 

 une bande obscure. 



The type sent to the Berlin Museum has " posticis basi fascia- 

 que testaceis," and Westwood, I. c, p. 379, no. 14, has the same. 

 The words " alis anticis — lineaque tenui stigmatique albidis" 

 prove that he had a specimen before him, as this character is not 

 mentioned by Olivier nor by Klug. Westwood's specimen must 

 be rather small, as he gives exp. alar, antic. 1^ unc. = 32mm., 

 whereas Rambur's specimen has the size of N. extensa, 45mm., 

 which agrees nearly with the size of Savigny's f. 14. 



It is very fortunate that Savigny's f. 13 has never been named 

 and therefore the name of De Selys will remain. 



Long. corp. $ 16-17; 9 15mm.; al. ant. $ 26-32; ? 20-21 

 mm. ; lat. al. ant. $ 11-12 ; <j> 9 mm. ; long. al. post. $ 56-66 ; 

 9 38mm. 



The smaller dimensions apply to the Tultscha specimens. The 

 female is much smaller, the hind wings much shorter and on the 

 dark bands more dilated, a little angular on both sides. The fe- 

 male seems somewhat related to N. extensa (which is not before 

 me) but from the description it is different.
