Mabille’s description of bouvieri and Holland’s description of motozioides still less fit the present figure. 
Swinhoe, however, unhesitatingly united (1908) bouvieri and philotimus as the same species. I cannot decide 
upon this question. Gold Coast, Togo Land, Gabun, Congo District. 
S. princei Kar.sch. ,,Wings above brownish-grey, with the same marking and spotting as in S. bou¬ 
vieri Mob. ( motozioides Holl. $), but the cell of the forewing does not exhibit two hyaline spots, but only one, 
viz. the anterior hyaline spot. Wings beneath brownish-yellow, silky; forewing with the 6 hyaline spots of 
the upperside and besides a semi-diaphanous spot in 11. Hindwing with two undulate, brown curved riflings 
parallel to the distal margin, one oil this side and one on the other side of the centre; each of them proxi- 
mally borders on a yellow-scaled spot, the proximal arcuate line on the spot near the cell-end, the distal ar¬ 
cuate line on the spot between 4 and 6; more anteriorly, between the veins 7 and 8, a prominent, yellow- 
scaled punctiform spot forms, with the two other spots, the angles of a triangle. Expanse 34 mm.“ German 
East Africa. 
S. tsava B.-Bak. ,,Both wings dark brown; forewing with a yellowish-brown spot at the cell-end; the 
centre is blackish and with a blackish spot behind the yellowish-brown spot and four hyaline dots at the costal 
margin; two hyaline dots at the costal margin opposite the apex of the cell, the posterior dot touching the 
yellow spot; hyaline spots in 2 and 3; marginal area feebly yellowish. Hindwing with traces of a dark post¬ 
median line, outside of which the margin is feebly yellowish. Forewing beneath lighter than above, the 
yellowish-brown spot of the upperside being ochreous. Hindwing beneath ochreous with a grey base and costal 
margin, and a dark grey apical spot; a dark median line and an indistinctly defined dark grey postmedian 
line; marginal line dark; fringes light with a dark median line.“ Expanse 34 mm. British East Africa: 
Tsavo River. 
S. hypoxanthina Mab. <L Boull. ,,Forewing black, particularly at the base strewn with fine yellow 
scales; 11 light yellow hyaline spots: 5 at the apex (probably in 4 to 8) and 6 in the centre, a large one of 
which is in the cell, one each in 2, 3, 11, and 2 in 1 b. Hind wing above brown with three transverse rows 
of large, yellow-haired spots. The middle transverse row exhibits the cellular spot larger and more yellow. 
Forewing beneath black, the spots a little larger than above; the two small dots in 1 b border on a large yellow 
spot covering the whole posterior angle and being continued along the margin. Hindwing beneath of a bright 
yellow, at the base narrowly black, with a black spot in the discal cell and a semicircularly curved row of 6 
discal spots. Fringes yellow with black spots. Body above brown; abdomen with yellow rings.“ Expanse 
30 mm. East Africa. 
S. seineri Strd. ,,Size as well as colouring and marking above almost as in S. maculata Mab., but the 
shadow-like lighter markings above somewhat more distinct and lighter grey, a darker area at the apex of 
the hindwing, and the hyaline spots of the forewing somewhat different: the three subapical ones are about 
of the same size and almost form a straight row; at the apex of the cell there is a transverse spot in the 
posterior half triangularly shaped, in the centre narrowed, apparently formed by two confluent spots, situate 
directly at the small round subcostal spot and somewhat basally to it; the four other spots as in S. maculata, 
but the spot in cell 2 somewhat smaller, distally pointed like a short wedge, proximally, however, slightly 
emarginated, thus of a pentagonal or hexagonal shape. S. seineri is at once discernible from S. maculata 
by the under surface of the hindwing, the light parts being dull ochreous (in S. maculata whitish); the dark 
markings consist of two transverse rows of shadow-like, most indistinct spots, a similar diffuse patch at the 
apex, and probably also at the base. Body above black, beneath ochreous. Antennae black with fine white 
rings; club with a broader white ring at the base.“ Expanse 31 mm. Zambesi. 
S. thecla Plotz (= semialba Mab.) (76 f?; colouring of the hindwing beneath incorrect, it ought to 
be bluish white). ,,Hindwing beneath pale blue, towards the base darker with a narrow grey costal margin, 
at the costal angle and in cell 7 one large brown spot each; a small one is situate towards the base in cell 7 
and in the discal cell; 7 are situate in a curve behind the centre, and grey spots before the margin“ (accor¬ 
ding to Plotz). Forewing with two hyaline dots in the discal cell and one each in 2 (strigiform), 3, 6 to 8, 11. 
S. theclides Holl. (76 f) is at once recognisable from the figure. Gabun. 
S. subalbida Holl. (? 76 h). ,,Antennae and upperside of body black; underside of palpi and chest 
yellowish; legs and ventrum whitish. Both wings above grey and at. the distal angle darkened blackish. Fore- 
wing with 7 minute white hyaline dots, 4 before the apex of the wing arranged almost in a square, and 3 in 
a discal row behind the centre. Forewing beneath almost as above, but lighter, and at the posterior margin 
whitish. Hindwing beneath bluish white, at the base dusted with a bluish grey, at the apex spotted black, 
and near the costal margin behind the centre with a small black spot..“ Ogowe Valley. The figure supplied 
here by Seitz neither agrees well with the description nor with Holland’s black figure. 
S. maculata Mab. above recalls S. motozi by the shape of the wings and the marking of the forewing, 
but it only shows two small hyaline dots in the discal cell and a much darker ground-colour. Hindwing be-
