in disc posteriorly; some undefined pale ochreous suffusion posteriorly, 
especially along margins, and a few scattered grey scales ; a very small blackish 
apical dot, surrounded with pale ochreous: cilia ochreous-whitish, with grey 
subapical shade. Hindwings grey; cilia ochreous-whitish. 
Portuguese East Africa, Xinavane, in December (Swierstra) ; one 
specimen. 
Oxymachaeris euryzancla Meyr. 
In an example from Magude (Swierstra) veins 5 and 6 of forewings rise 
out of 7, 7 running to costa. I also have a specimen from Ubangi, French 
Congo, in which 5 is separate, 6 and 7 stalked, as in Lord Walsingham’s figure. 
These appear to be undoubtedly all the same species, the markings being 
precisely similar; the variation is extremely curious, and requires study on 
further material.
