112 NEOCOENYRA. By. Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
N. gregorii Btlr. Wings above black-brown, at the distal * margin lighter with grey reflection; outer 
boundary-line of the eye-spot area on both wings thick and very distinct, running parallel with the distal 
margin and on the hindwing reaching the 'hindmargin; inner boundary-line on the contrary very indistinct 
or entirely absent; the eye-spots with a red-yellow and a dark ring. On the under surface the inner boundary¬ 
line is somewhat more distinct; the eye-spot area of the forewing posteriorly broadly open, that of the hind¬ 
wing somewhat irrorated with grey. German and British East Africa. 
N. cooksoni Ham.-Druce scarcely differs from gregorii except in having the eye-spot of the forewing 
surrounded by a very thick whitish-yellow or almost whitish ring; the eye-spots of the hindwing with light 
yellow rings, cellules 4 and 5 usually without eye-spots. Katanga district. 
N. duplex Btlr. (29a). Wings above black-brown, little lighter at the distal margin; the eye-spot area 
of the forewing is completely closed, terminates posteriorly at vein 2 and is entirely or for the most part 
filled up with red-yellow; the eye-spot, has a bright yellow and a brown-red ring; in the $ eye-spots are 
often present also in cellules 2 and 3 of the forewing; hindwing above with red-bordered eye-spots in. 2 and 
3. Forewing beneath coloured and marked as above; hindwing beneath with two eye-spots in cellule 1 c and one 
each in 2, 3 and 6, basal area unicolorous dark-brown. German East Africa, British East Africa and Somaliland. 
N. rufilineata Btlr. is allied to duplex, but differs in the upperside of the hindwing having an 
eye-spot in cellule 6, whilst on the underside of the forewing a transverse streak and a spot in the cell, the 
boundary-line of the eye-spot area, and the submarginal line are red-brown and on the underside of the hind¬ 
wing the base, two transverse lines in the middle, the boundary-line of the eye-spot area and the submarginal 
line are of the same colour. Somaliland. 
N. heckmanni TJmrau (29 a). Wings above dark brown, the eye-spot of the forewing with an orange- 
yellow and a reddish ring, but without distinct boundary-lines to the eye-spot area; the hindwing above with 
two eye-spots ringed with red-yellow in cellules 2 and 3; the under surface of both wings clouded at. the 
distal margin; eye-spot, area of the forewing indistinctly bounded by a red-brown line, terminating near to 
vein 2, that of the hindwing, as also the basal area, irrorated with grey, its outer boundary-line strongly un¬ 
dulate or angled, but indistinct; the eye-spots small, punctiform or absent. German East Africa, ab. 
wentzelae Thurau only differs in having 4 eye-spots on the upperside of the hindwing. German East Africa. 
N. extensa Btlr. (29 a) is larger than the species already described. Both wings with dark brown 
ground-colour; the eye-spot of the forewing is surrounded by large red-yellow and black rings; the eye-spot 
area is completely closed posteriorly, reaches vein 2 or at least the middle of cellule 2 and is scarcely lighter 
than the ground-colour. Hindwing above with two eye-spots with red-yellow and dark rings in cellules 
2 and 3. Forewing beneath coloured and marked quite as above. Hindwing beneath red-brown at the base 
of the hindmargin and with a red-brown spot in 1 a and 1 b; four eye-spots of almost uniform size, with 
white pupils and red and black rings, in cellules 1 c—3 and 6; the boundary-line of the eye-spot area is 
dark and distinct, the outer line either quite even or with 1 or 2 deep loops in cellules 4 and 5. In this 
species, therefore, this character is without importance as a specific distinction. Mashonaland. — ab. major 
Trim, only differs in having the eye-spot area of the forewing more or less completely suffused with red- 
yellow. Transvaal, Matabeleland, German South-West Africa, Mashonaland. 
N. victoriae Auriv. is perhaps a form of extensa, from which it differs in having the eye-spot area of 
the forewing smaller, more rounded, and much lighter than the ground-colour of the basal part. German East 
Africa and Nyassaland. 
N. jordani Beb. (29 a). Wings dark brown. Eye-spot of the forewing large, broadly oval, ringed with 
yellow-brown and blackish, with two silvery pupils; the eye-spot area is very large and for the most part 
ochre-yellow (only before and beyond the eye-spot, grey), the boundary-line is thick but indistinct, proximally 
yellow-brown and distally blackish. The hindwing as usual, above with two eye-spots ringed with red-yellow 
and black and with a very large ochre-yellow transverse patch between the eye-spot in cellule 3 and the apex 
of the cell. The hindwing beneath with an ochre-yellow spot in cellule 4 at the apex of the cell and with 
5 eye-spots, in cellules 1 c (two), 2, 3 and 6, in cellules 4 and 5 only with white dots: the eye-spot area is 
somewhat lighter than the ground-colour, proximally indistinctly defined, but distally bounded by a thick dark 
line. German East Africa in the Ulaguru Mountains.
