K. rogersi H. Dree, is very similar to the preceding species, but differs above by the veins being rogersi. 
coloured yellow at the margin, and beneath by the long, fine, black longitudinal lines at the margin on the 
internerval folds. The ground-colour of the hindwing beneath is almost as in macomo (78 b); the black dots, 
however, are only 6 in two transverse rows; the proximal transverse row consists of three dots in 1 c, the 
discal cell and 7, the distal row also of three dots in 2, 4 and 6. Usambara and British East Africa. 
K. capenas Hew. (78 c) is easily ascertained by the review and the figure. The veins above at the cupena 
margin coloured yellow. Zambesi. — derbice Heiv. only differs by the veins above being black as far as the derbice. 
margin. Manica and Nyassa Land. 
K. letltiginosa Holl. (78 d), as the figure shows, differs above considerably from the other species. lenUjlnosa. 
Gabun. 
K. callicles Hew. (78 c) is sufficiently described in the review. Southern Congo District, Angola, calUdes. 
Damara Land, Natal, and East Africa as far as the Somali Land. 
K. malua Heave (78 d) is easily discernible from callicles by the marks stated in the review. Rhodesia, malm. 
K. mohozutza Wallengr. ( ? = nerva F.) ( 78 d) is distinguished by the broad discal band of the mohozulza. 
hindwing beneath and the other marks mentioned in the review. Caffraria, Natal, Zulu Land, and Transvaal. 
K. paola Plotz (78 cl) is figured here from Plotz’ original figure. Angola. paola. 
K. fucusa Trim. The ground-colour in the basal half of the hindwing beneath is for the greatest part tucusa. 
yellowish white with distinctly prominent black dots. In the $ the submarginal spots above are only feebly 
marked. Hindwing above without discal spots, but in the $ with a yellow spot at the end of the discal cell. 
Natal and Transvaal. 
K. chaca Trim. (78 c) is at once recognizable by the colouring and marking of the hindwing beneath, chaca. 
Forewing with discal spots in 4 and 5. South Africa to Angola. 
K. chacoides Gaede is unknown to me, but it is said to be very similar to chaca. Discal spots of the chacoidcs. 
forewing white and all present, that in 1 b in the G double, in the $ single. According to the description, the 
most important difference seems to consist in the red-brown median band of the hindwing being broken up 
into spots, and the discal band being greyish-brown (not whitish). Cameroon. 
K. protensa Btlr. is described as follows: ,, Allied with K. tucusa Trim., but much larger (35 mm), protensa. 
costal margin of forewing and proximal margin of hindwing much longer; hindwing above without discal spots 
and sometimes also without the hairy white or yellowish spot at the end of the discal cell; the colouring beneath 
is more intense; forewing at the costal margin and apex as well as the submarginal spots tan-coloured yellow 
with an orange hue; hindwing almost as in mohozutza alternately yellowish and orange; the black discal dots 
of the hindwing do not form a regular W as in tucusa , but they are almost parallel to the submarginal row; 
there is also a dark, sub median, inwardly tapering stripe from the margin to the base.“ Nigeria. 
K. barberae Trim. (78 c) differs from all the other species by the marking beneath. Cape Colony barberae. 
and Transvaal. 
K. bnmneostriga Plotz (78 b) is figured from Plotz’ original figure. Angola. brunneosiri

K. fenestrata Btlr. (78 d) only differs from hrunneostriga by the marks stated in the review. Nyassa fenesirata. 
Land near Zomba. 
K. wallengreni Trim. (78 c) is distinguished by the two white stripes of the hindwing beneath. Natal, wallengrem 
Mashuna Land, Kilimandjaro. 
K. niveostriga Trim, is very similar to fenesirata, but it differs from it and the other allied species niveostriga 
by the presence and position of the discal spot 4 on the forewing. Cape Colony to Zulu Land. 
K. lema Heave (78^). The grey veins of the hindwing beneath are in the centre of the wing connected Uma. 
by some lighter transverse streaks, whereby some dark spots or dots of the ground-colour are separated. 
Southern Congo District: Katanga. 
K. ? miranda Btlr. is unknown to me and was described according to a single $ from British East miranda. 
Africa (Massai Land). From the long description we mention the following: ,,Above the most similar to K. 
fenestrata, but the fringes are yellowish-brown and the hyaline spots behind the apex of the discal cell larger, 
less slantingly arranged .and only separated by vein 3; the discal cell of the forewing and the basal half of the 
hindwing clothed with ochreous-yellow hair. Forewing beneath blackish, at the costal margin ochreous-yellow 
and at the base covered with reddish, towards the apex of the wing expanded into a light yellow triangular 
spot; the subapical hyaline spots are distally bordered with black; the triangular yellow apical spot is distally 
bordered by a blackish macular line and a broad ferruginous-brown band; fringes reddish-brown. Hindwing 
beneath light ochreous. The costal, proximal and distal margins are rust-coloured, in the basal third there 
are four dark rust-brown dots, two in the discal cell and one each in 1 c and 7; a large quadrangular spot
