HYPOLEUCIS; GORGYRA. By Dr. C. Aueivillius. 
punctata. 
ophiusa. 
8. Genus: Hypoleucis Mab. 
Antennal point long, bent down, more than twice the length of the diameter of the club. Palpi densely, 
almost smoothly scaled; terminal joint short knob-shaped. Vein 5 of the forewing much nearer to 4 than to 
6, vein 2 almost from the centre of the cell. Vein 5 of the hindwing feebly developed. 
Eorewing with two hyaline spots in the discal cell and 8 discal spots, of which those in 1 b to 5 are 
arranged in an almost straight line pointing towards the apex of the wing, whilst the subapical dots in 6 to 
8 are situate more towards the base. Only two species. 
H. tripunctata Mab. (= titanota Karsch) (77 c). Hindwing above only with 3 or 4 small white 
discal spots (in 2 to 5) and at the anal angle of a lighter whitish colour; fringes from the anal angle to vein 
6 snow-white; beneath of a pure white with black, triangular marginal spots in 1 b to 5 and a broad black costal- 
marginal band almost reaching to vein 6 and often enclosing 2 or 3 white dots. Togo Land to Gabun. 
H. ophiusa Hew. (77 d). Eorewing on both sides almost as in the preceding. Hindwing above with 
an almost straight transverse row of 6 white discal spots (in 1 b to 5), but not lighter at the anal angle; 
beneath with the same sharply defined discal spots and also with similar ones in 6 and 7; the suiface of the 
wing within the discal spots almost entirely clothed with white scales, the costai and distal margins outside 
of the discal spots, however, entirely or for a great part blackish-brown. 
9. Genus: Gorgyra Holl. 
This genus is distinguished by the thick and comparatively long, porrect terminal joint of the palpus. 
Vein 5 of the forewing is distinctly nearer to 4 than to 6. -— The forewing is peculiarly marked by two hyaline 
spots in the apex of the discal cell, situate in a straight transverse line with the hyaline spot in 2. The hindwing 
above almost invariably shows a hyaline spot in the discal cell and one each in 2 and 3, whilst beneath 
these hyaline spots are encircled with black and the other discal spots are quite black or with light pupils. 
R e v i e v/ of the Species. 
A. Forewing above with two small hyaline spots or hyaline dots in the apex of the discal cell right above each 
other. 
a. Hindwing above with hyaline spots in 2 and 3 and also with a hyaline spot in the discal cell. Forewing 
with white subapical dots in 6 to 8. 
*. Forewing also in area 4 with a distinct hyaline spot. Hindwing beneath with a dark grey ground¬ 
colour and blackish discal and submarginal spots. G. afikpo. 
**. Forewing without a hyaline spot in area 4. 
§. Fringes of the hindwing entire, spotless. Abdomen above at the apex white. Hindwing beneath 
with a dark ground-colour. G. aburae. 
§§. Fringes of the hindwing black speckled with white. Abdomen above as far as the apex dark. 
Hindwing beneath with a yellowish ground-colour. 
1. Hindwing beneath almost everywhere with a greenish-yellow or greyish-yellow ground-colour, 
only at the anal angle more darkened. G. mocquerysi. 
2. Hindwing at the base, costal and hind-margins broadly light yellow and almost spotless 
(except a dark spot at the centre of the costal margin), between them greyish-brown with 
dark spots. G. aretina. 
p. Hindwing above without hyaline spots in 2 and 3. 
*. Hindwing above with a small hyaline spot in the discal cell, beneath partly yellow or ferruginous- 
yellow. G. subfacata. 
G. vosseleri. 
**. Hindwing above without or with a very indistinct white spot in the discal cell, beneath with a dark, 
never yellowish ground-colour. 
§. Smaller species with an expanse of the wings of about 20 to 25 mm. Hindwing beneath without 
white markings. G. johnstoni. 
G. minima. 
§§. Larger species, about 30 mm. Hindwing on both sides with an irregular white marginal band.
