wingy the subapical bar (in its upper portion) and apical spot, the 
submarginal rings, and a short narrow median fascia ; and in hind- 
wing the median fascia and submarginal rings. 
This very handsome Eu;plicedra belongs to the group of which E. Medon 
(Linn.) is the type, but is very distinct from all its allies in the breadth and 
rich yellow tint of the subapical bar of the fore-wings. Oberthtir {Etudes 
d^ Entomologie^ iii. p. 28) notes an example from " Tchouacka," in which the 
dull bluish-green of the upper side is replaced by violaceous. 
I include Neophron in my list on the authority of Mr. W. F. Kirby's 
Catalogue of the Heioitson Collection^ in which (p. 93) Delagoa Bay is given 
as one of the localities of the examples contained in that collection. The late 
Mr. J. J. Monteiro wrote to me in 1877 that he had taken the species at one 
spot about three miles from Lourengo Marques \ and it is probable that Mr. 
Hewitson obtained it from him. 
The examples that I have examined are from the Zambesi Yalley and 
Zanzibar.

Genus EURYPHENE. 
E^irypliene, Wcstw., Gen. Diurn. Lep., ii. ^. 285 (1850). 
Imago. — Nearly allied to Eiiplioedra. Head not so wide, with a 
tuft of hair in front ; pal^n longer, not so ascendant, not convergent. 
Thorax much less robust, more hairy beneath. Eore-tuings some- 
what truncate, with apical angle more or less pronounced ; hind-margin 
usually entire, occasionally slightly hollowed about middle ; neuration 
as in Eiqjhmdixi, except that (in some species) third subcostal nervule 
originates very little beyond extremity of discoidal cell. Hind-wings 
larger, and in $ considerably lengthened inferiorly ; hind-margin entire 
or very slightly sinuated ; lower disco-cellular nervule very attenuated, 
sometimes almost obsolete. Fore-legs of $ not so densely hairy generally, 
but with a longer tuft of hairs at extremity of tarsus. Middle and hind 
legs with considerably longer, slightly curved femora ; tibiae only very 
finely spined beneath, — terminal spurs extremely small ; tarsi long, 
scarcely spinulose above, and but moderately spinose beneath. 
These characters, while serving to distinguish Eiirypliene from 
Euphmdra^ for the most part approximate it to Aterica, Boisd., and 
Harma, Westw. From the two latter genera it differs, however, in its
