spot in cellule 2 and a smaller in cellule 5; in cellule 1 a somewhat beyond the middle of vein 1 with a 
raised, elliptical mealy spot, which is represented on the under surface by a chalk-white spot; the inner 
pencil on the hindwing yellowish, the outer yellow-brown; the basal area of the under surface is unicolorous 
deep black-brown, and projects, as mentioned above, distinctly distad in the middle of both wings; the greater 
part of the marginal area is whitish or violet-grey and it bears black, white-pupilled eye-spots ringed with 
yellow and dark brown, two on the forewing and 7 on the hindwing, of which those in cellules 2 and 3 are 
larger than the others. German East Africa. — In ab. daresa Strand the forewing has a small eye-spot also 
in cellule 6, in ab. deannulata Strand , on the contrary, the eye-spot in cellule 5 of the forewing is also absent. 
Both forms are met with in German East Africa. 
M. fuelleborni Bartel (27 g) is nearly allied to the preceding species, but differs from it according to 
Bartel in the following point: Distal part of the forewing not so light, the eye-spots smaller and without 
pupils, hence little conspicuous. The dark median part not so sharply bounded, straight posteriorly. On 
the hindwing the demarcation between the proximal and the distal part is only very slight, the latter being 
but little lighter. The hair-pencil at the anterior margin of the cell is weaker and not yellow, but of a 
smoky-brown colour, the pencil of cellule 6, on the contrary, is essentially stronger, black, not yellow-brownish. 
Vein 1 of the forewing with elongate light mealy spot at the middle. On the similarly marked under surface 
the dark, black-brown proximal part differs in having the costal margin of the forewing irrorated with grey; 
the cell of the forewing is crossed by a grey stripe in the middle. Basal and inner-marginal parts of the 
hindwing likewise dusted with grey, the latter the more intensively; the former with an indistinct row of 
light grey spots; the distal bordering of the dark part forms a ventricose projection above the middle. 
Distal area violet-grey, mixed with yellow and irrorated with grey; the eye-spot in cellule 2 of the forewing 
is surrounded with brown and in place of the upper spot there is only a white dot. Submarginal line very 
indistinct, not dentate, on the hindwing it is distinct, but more feebly dentate than in M. danckelmanni. 
Here only the three lower eye-spots are distinct, being black, weakly pupilled with white and ringed with 
yellowish, but very small; all the other eye-spots are only represented by white dots. German East Africa, 
on the north side of Lake Nyassa. f. ocelligera Strand differs in the well developed eye-spots on the under 
surface, of which there are 7 on the hindwing. German East Africa. 
M. campina Auriv. (28 a) is a pretty species, nearly allied to the preceding two, but smaller; expanse 
38—44 mm. cd: wings above uniform dark black-brown without any markings except a not very distinct, 
round spot in cellule 2 of the forewing, the hindwing somewhat lighter, especially at the distal margin; the 
pencils of the hindwing brown; the mealy spot on the forewing elongate and placed at the middle of vein 
1. On the under surface the basal part is dark black-brown, somewhat lighter on the hindwing; the median 
line is margined (sometimes very sharply) with whitish and curved almost exactly as in fuelleborni , but on 
the forewing not straight but distinctly incurved between vein 3 and the hindmargin: the marginal area is 
violet-grey or violet-brown, more or less finely striated, with small, black, white-pupilled eye-spot ringed with 
yellow-brown; the forewing with an eye-spot in cellule 2 and a punctiform spot in cellule 5: the hindwing 
with complete eye-spots only in 1 c and 2, in 3—6 only with white dots. The ? is larger and somewhat 
lighter and has on the upperside of the forewing before the distal margin, which is again darker, a broad, 
band-like light patch, in which the black spot of cellule 2 stands out sharply. Mashonaland and Gazaland. 
goetzi Thur. appears to be the rainy-season form and differs in having distinct eye-spots on the under 
surface where campina has only white dots; on the forewing these consist of a large one in cellule 2 and 
one about half as large in cellule 5; on the hindwing two of fairly equal size in cellules 2 and 6 and a 
small one each in 3, 4 and 5, besides two in cellules lc; the basal part of the under surface is velvety 
violet-black and the distal part flesh-colour, clouded with brown. German East Africa near Lake Nyassa. — 
subapicalis Auriv. differs from the type-form from Mashonaland only in its somewhat larger size (cf 40—42: 
? 45—49 mm.), the much more distinct grey-yellowish patch before the apex on the forewing above, and in 
having the basal area on the underside of the forewing cut off quite straight distally between the costal 
margin and vein 4; the eye-spots, as in campina , only developed in cellule 2 of the forewing and in cellules 
1 c and 2 of the hindwing. In the ? the large, white-pupilled eye-spots on the upperside of the forewing 
are very conspicuous. Found on Mt. Kilimanjaro on shady foot-paths in the woods up to 2000 m. 
M. anynana Btlr. has in both sexes on the upperside of the forewing two sharply prominent, black, 
white-pupilled and yellow-ringed eye-spots, a larger one in cellule 2 and a smaller in cellule 5. In the cf the 
mealy spot in cellule la of the forewing is placed at the middle of vein 1 and is short and narrow; the 
pencil in the cell of the hindwing is yellowish and the one in cellule 6 dark. The under surface is more 
or less distinctly striated or irrorated with brown; the median line begins perpendicularly towards the costal 
margin of the forewing, is then somewhat distally curved between veins 7 and 4 and from vein 4 to the
