CYCLOPIDES. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
trisignatus. C. trisignatus Neave. Uganda. 
decisions. C. decipieiis Bilr. Although the yellow discal transverse band of the forewing is entirely shaped as 
in C. formosus, this species belongs to the preceding species and entirely differs from the formosus -group by 
abscissa, the uni-coloured under surface of the hindwing. Nyassa Land. —- abscissa Gaede only differs by the discal 
spot 1 b of the forewing being absent and the yellow spots of the hindwing above being rather indistinct. East 
Africa: Kigonsera. 
perexcel- C. perexcellems Btlr. Hindwing beneath with yellow discal spots in 1 c, 2, 4 to 7, and submarginal 
lots. S p 0 £ s i n i b to 5 and besides with some yellow basal spots; above only with indistinct discal (2) and submarginal 
(5 or 6) spots. Eorewing beneath with a coherent marginal band parted by the black veins. Nyassa Land. 
angolanus. — angolanus Btlr. deviates by larger yellow spots and by 2 spots in the discal cell of the forewing. Angola. 
carsoni. C. carsoni Btlr. is unknown to me. We state the following from the description : fringes of the hindwings 
spotted dark brown; forewing beneath in the basal half with a yellow stripe at the costal margin, but without 
a spot in the discal cell; hindwing beneath cream-coloured with a slight silvery lustre; veins and marginal line, 
but not the hind-margin, black; the yellow spots as in perexcellens. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Fwambo 
on the Lake Tanganyika. 
formosus C. formosus Btlr. (78 a). Palpi orange-yellow. Matabele and Nyassa Land. 
tsadicus. C. tsadicus Auriv. Palpi grey. The yellow markings above are reduced by the absence of the discal 
spot 2 on the forewing, whilst that in 3 is shorter. Lake Tsad. 
cooksoni. C. cooksotli H. Drc. (78 a). Rhodesia. 
oguianyi. C. Ogwanyi B.-Bak. is probably only a local race of cooksoni. Uganda. 
witlemi. C. willenii Wallengr. (= circles Hew.) (78 a, b) differs from all the other species of this genus by 
the under surface of the hindwing. Damara Land, Transvaal and Somali Land. 
meninx. C. men inx Trim. (= argenteostriatus Plolz) (78 a). The posterior tibiae, according to Trimen, 
exhibit in this species only terminal spines. Natal and Transvaal. 
syrinx. C. syrinx Trim. (78 a). Both wings above with small, indistinctly defined, dull, light yellowish spots 
and at the base strewn with yellowish scales. Forewing beneath at the costal margin and at the apex 
yellowish-brown. Hindwing beneath with a yellowish-brown ground-colour. Cape Colony, on the summits 
of mountains. 
aegipan. C. aegipan Trim. (78 a). Above uni-coloured dark brown and very similar to the species of Heteropterus; 
before the apex of the forewing generally three oblong, dull yellow-scaled subapical spots in 6 to 8, which are 
often more distinct on the under surface, but may also be absent there. Beneath the hindwing and forewing 
are dark yellowish-brown at the costal margin and apex; the hind-margin of the hindwing, however, is 
darker blackish in 1 a and 1 b. Vein 11 of the forewing, at least in the specimen lying before me, is only for 
a short distance fused with vein 12. The posterior t ibiae in my specimen exhibit 4 spines (according to Trimen 
there occur only terminal spines). Cape Colony to Transvaal and Mashona Land. This species also occurs only 
on mountains. 
argenteogut- C. argenteogutta Btlr. (78 b) I have not been able to examine. Judging from the different marking 
la • beneath it probably does not belong to Cyclopides. The forewing, according to Butler, shows above three 
irregular, slanting transverse bands, some submarginal dots and the fringes of a yellow colour. Hindwing above 
with a dot at the base, an irregular median band, three submarginal dots and the fringes of a yellow colour. 
Body black. Nubia. 
We may finally mention here a species described by Fr. Walker in the year 1870 from Hor Tamanib 
phidyle. in Nubia on the Red Sea, C. phidyle, which was hitherto not ranged and probably does not belong to Cyclopides. 
The description says: ferruginous-brown; head anteriorly and abdomen beneath yellowish; fringes grey, at 
their base brown; forewing: a darker irregular band is exteriorly rounded, squat and sending forth a longitudinal 
stripe there; it is united with a short anterior band, which is expanded at the costal margin; a darker marginal 
band; in the centre some white hyaline spots arranged in three groups; the first group of 1 or 2 dots nearer 
to the base than the second which is transverse and composed of 2 or 3 dots; the third group between 
the two others, but much more remote from the costal margin and formed of a spot and a dot. Hindwing 
with three darker bands formed of spots and with a coherent marginal band. Wings beneath yellowish; forewing 
with a brown spot in the centre and outside of it with two irregular bands, the first of which is broader than 
the second which runs along the margin. Hindwing with three irregular bands composed of brown spots. Expanse 
of wings: 1 inch 5 lin.
