to Damaraland and Rhodesia. — defecta form. nov. (75 b, as levebu) is an extreme dry season form only dis¬ 
tinguished by still narrower black markings of the forewing and by the absence of the black longitudinal ray 
on the hindwing beneath. — amneris Rbl. Rog. (75 b, as lactea) is evidently a rainy season form distinguished 
by the greater extent of the black spots at the distal margin and at the apex of the forewing, whereby the 
white spots are reduced in size. It lacks, however, the black colouring at the costal margin of the forewing 
and the black longitudinal ray in area 6 on the hindwing beneath. East Africa: Massai Land and Madibira. 
hindei H. Drc., according to the description, is an extreme form of amneris, in which the marginal band 
of the forewing is still broader and reaches the posterior margin, whilst the hindwing beneath exhibits a dis¬ 
tinct black longitudinal ray in area 8. British East Africa: Kitui. 
4. Genus: Caprona Wallengr. 
Like Abantis this genus also only occurs on the African continent, but. not in Madagascar. For one 
(canopus) of the three species, Mabille recently established a separate genus, Netrobalane. The differences, 
however, are so insignificant that I prefer leaving both the species in the same genus. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Hindwing beneath without a round black spot in area 1 b near the posterior angle. Wings above with a 
grey ground-colour; forewing with distinct, sharply defined hyaline spots; hindwing without distinct hya¬ 
line spots. — $ anterior hip with a very long black hair-pencil appressed behind to the thorax. -— Caprona 
Wallengr. 
a. Hindwing beneath without a round, distinctly prominent, black spot in the area lc. C. pillaana. 
p. Hindwing beneath in the centre of area 1 c, almost opposite the base of vein 2, with a rounded black spot. 
C. adelica. 
B. Hindwing beneath in area 1 b near the margin with a rounded black spot. Both wings with a white ground¬ 
colour, brown or black markings and grey hyaline spots. — <$ anterior hip without a hair-pencil. -— Sub¬ 
genus: Netrobalane Mob. C. canopus. 
C. pillaana Wallengr. (= heterogyna Mab.) (76 i). The marking of the upperside is shown by the 
figure. Beneath the wings are much paler with indistinct markings. Natal to Damaraland and Rhodesia. 
C. adelica Karsch only differs from pillaana in the spot in l c of the hindwing beneath and the more 
roundish margin of the hindwing. Togoland. — cassualalla B.-Balc. The author later on considers this form 
to be a variegated form of adelica; his description in all its details exactly corresponds with the type of pil¬ 
laana from which it is apparently only distinguished by somewhat more ferruginous-brown colouring at the 
base and distal margin of the hindwing above. Nothing is mentioned of the black dot in 1 c on the underside. 
Angola. -— kordofani B.-Bak. The short description says: ,,Head, thorax, abdomen, and the wings very pale 
reddish-grey with the usual markings of adelica; the broad light central area, however, is more or less filled 
up with small streaks or lines.“ Kordofan (?). 
C. canopus Trim. (76 i). The markings above are exactly reproduced in the figure; the dark spots are 
in the C more blackish, in the $ browner. Beneath the dark markings at the bases of both wings are absent. 
Cape Colony to Transvaal. 
5. Genus: Procaiii|>ta Boll. 
,,Palpi moderately long, slender, porrect, appressed; second joint densely haired; last joint slender. 
Fore wing at the base rounded, at the centre of the costal margin convex, and before the apex slightly emargi- 
nated; the apex is transversely truncate and the distal margin then almost straight; posterior angle not rounded; 
posterior margin straight. Hindwing pear-shaped with a very round distal margin.“ 
P. rara Roll. (76g). Wings above and beneath dark brown (beneath somewhat lighter) with trans¬ 
verse rows of angular black spots. Forewing with a spot in the apex of the discal cell, a slanting straight row 
of discal spots from the apex to the posterior margin and a series of submarginal spots; besides with a black 
spot in 1 b and 1 or 2 behind the cell near the costal margin. Forewing with a minute hyaline dot in the 
cell and three in a triangle before the apex in 6 to 8. Hindwing with three bent transverse rows of black spots.
