brown and the forewing with indication of a subapical band and with white-pupilled eye-spots in cellules 2 
and 5. On the under surface the basal part is sometimes unicolorous dark brown without distinct markings, 
sometimes as in the figure, lighter with proximal transverse line, distally it is bordered by a dark, nearly 
straight and uniform transverse line; the forewing has a larger eye-spot in cellule 2 and a smaller one in 
cellule 5, the hindwing 7 eye-spots, of which only the one in cellule 2 is considerably larger than the rest.

cf: the hindwing above in cellule 1 c near the base or in the apex of the cell, opposite cellule 2, or at both places, 
adorned with a sharply defined hair-pencil. In addition there is always a pencil at the anterior margin of the cell and 
nearly always one in cellule 6. 
M. sambulos Hew. (27 c). The hindwing somewhat produced at the anal angle and with a short, obtuse sambulos. 
tail at vein 2. cf: hindwing above with a pencil both at the base of cellule 1 c and in the apex of the cell 
as well as in the basal part of cellule 2. Wings above dark brown with indistinct light subapical band on 
the forewing, directed towards the hinder angle; beneath, as the figure shows, finely striated, with small eye- 
spots and 2—3 fine dark lines at the distal margin. Gaboon. 
M. mandanes Hew. (= graphidabra Karsch ) (27 c). The hindwing at the anal angle weakly produced, mandanes. 
at vein 2 with a very short lobe, cf: hindwing above with hair-pencil in cellule lc and in the apex of the 
cell, but without pencil in cellule 2. Wings above black-brown, the forewing with a yellowish subapical band 
divided into two spots; the under surface is sharply marked, with sharply dentate black transverse lines and 
in cellule 2 of the forewing a large eye-spot, before which the ground-colour forms a whitish or yellowish 
spot; the eye-spots of the hindwing are all small. Togoland to the Congo. 
M. kenia Rogenh. (27 c) agrees in the shape of the wings and in the pencil of the cf with mandanes, kenia. 
but differs from it in the sharply defined and continous white subapical band on the upperside of the forewing. 
German and British East Africa. 
M. auricruda Btlr. (27 c). The hindwing rounded with undulate distal margin. In the cf the hindwing auricruda. 
above with hair-pencil in cellule 1 c, but without pencil in the apical part of the cell. Forewing above with 
short, yellowish subapical band, beneath marked almost as in mandanes. From Ashanti to Angola and Uganda. 
M. mesogena Karsch (27 d). cf: both wings above unicolorous black-brown without markings and with mesogena. 
the distal margin almost entire; distal margin of the forewing nearly straight; the hindwing with 4 hair-pencils, 
one at the anterior margin of the cell, one in cellule 6, one in the basal part of cellule 1 c near the cell 
and one in the end of the cell near to its hinder angle. The under surface is usually dark black-brown with 
strongly undulate black transverse lines and two fine black lines at the distal margin; the forcwing with three 
'eye-spots (in lb, 2 and 5), of which the one in cellule 2 is somewhat larger; the hindwing with 7 eye-spots, 
placed in a row which is curved somewhat anteriorly, the eye-spot in cellule 2 is usually somewhat larger 
than the others. ¥ unknown to me. Sierra Leone to the southern Congo. 
M. sandace Hew. (27 d). Distal margin of both wings slightly Undulate, that of the forewing distinctly sandace. 
curved, cf: wings above dark brown, the forewing in cellule 5 with a distinct black, white-pupilled and yel¬ 
low-ringed eye-spot and in cellule 2 with an indistinct black spot; the hindwing at the apex of the cell with 
a deep black mealy spot, covered by a hair-pencil, which also reaches the base of cellules 2 and 3, but without 
pencil in cellule 1 c; the under surface is very similar to that of mesogena , but finely striated in the basal 
half and with straighter and less undulate transverse lines. The ¥ is above lighter and has on the forewing 
two very sharply prominent eye-spots with yellow rings in cellules 2 and 5. Senegal to the Congo. 
M. technatis Hew. Wings with the margins almost entire; the forewing with the distal margin slightly technatis. 
curved, cf: wings above dark brown with no other markings but an indistinct black spot in cellule 2 of the 
forewing; the hindwing in cellule 1 c near the base with a long hair-pencil, which is attached near to vein 
1 b, but without pencil in the apex of the cell; on the under surface the dark median line, which is distally 
bordered with violet-grey, is gently curved on the forewing and irregularly sinuous on the hindwing; the 
‘ger eve-spot in cellule 2 and a smaller one in cellule 5; the hindwing with 7 eye-spots,
