Only Bjcelcelm and Nottoana are known to extend as far to the south- 
west as Knysna in Cape Colony. The former and Flesus are most widely 
distributed over the African continent, but the only other known to me 
to occur within the tropical boundary is Motozi. From Natal I have 
obtained all but Kohela ; this last, with Motozi and Mokeezi, extend into 
the eastern border of Cape Colony. 
I am not acquainted with many species of this genus from other 
countries ; but several near allies of Flesus occur in the Indo-Malayan 
area, and some related to Mokeezi in the same region and in Tropical 
Africa.

^ Dusky hlackish-hroiV7i, here and there clouded with paler seales ; 
with small vitreous, and indistinct larger hlack spots ; in hoth wings a 
suMerminal disco-cellular spot, and a transverse discal roiv of spots. 
Fore-wing : cellular spot encloses a vitreous dot, — often wanting ; discal 
row of spots elbowed on discoidal nervules, composed of nine spots, the 
three first of which (next costa) are minute and always vitreous, the 
fourth and fifth black only and nearer margin than the rest, the others 
more or less indistinctly vitreous-centred ; between first median nervule 
and submedian nervure, before middle, a large indistinct black spot ; 
beyond discal spots and also along hind-margin some faint-yellowish 
scaling. Hind-iuing : spots without vitreous centres ; discal row more 
regular than in fore-wing, of six or seven spots. Under side. — Bather 
paler, more glossy ; spots more distinct, hut smcdler. Fore-wing : inner 
margin bordered with dull-greyish ; spot before middle obsolete. Hind- 
wing : a double streak closing cell ; spots of transverse row bounded 
outwardly and often centred with dull-yellowish scales. Cilia of fore- 
wing fuscous, indistinctly mixed with dull greyish-yellow, more apparent 
near anal angle ; of hind-wing conspicuously didl yellowish-white inter- 
rupted with fuscous on nervules, — paler beneath. 
$ Paler, browner ; spots of fore-wing (especially lower ones of 
discal row) always with vitreous or subvitreous centres, — that in dis- 
coidal cell sometimes containing a second (inferior) vitreous spot ; all 
spots more apparent than in 
Antennce fuscous above ; half-ringed with creamy-yellow beneath, 
and with the club (except its dull-red tip) of the same colour. 
Falpi beneath with some pale-yellowish hairs mixed with the 
fuscous ones. 
However indistinct the spots in general may be in the $, the three 
minute vitreous ones commencing the discal row in the fore-wings are 
always well marked.
