PSEUDERESIA. By Dr. C. Attrivilmtts. 
a. Forewing beneath with a red or orange-yellow subapical band or similar, distinctly prominent snb- 
apical spots *). 
*. The red or reddish-yellow spot on the posterior margin of the forewing above is large and reaches 
vein 6. The red discal area of the hindwing above reaches neither the base nor the margins. 
1. The spot on the posterior margin of the forewing above is unspotted. The subapical band 
of the forewing beneath is composed of 4 angular spots of the areas 3 to 6 and an almost 
separated spot in 9; all the spots are proximally and distally bordered by a thick black line. 
Ps. moreelsi. 
2. The spot on the posterior margin of the forewing above with a black spot in 1 b. The sub¬ 
apical band of the forewing beneath composed only of three red spots of the areas 4 to 6. 
Ps. favillacea. 
**. The red or orange-red spot on the posterior margin of the forewing above is extended somewhat 
beyond vein 4 at most. The subapical band of the forewing beneath composed of 4 spots of 
the areas 3 to 6. 
1. Subapical band of the forewing beneath in 3 and 4 red and much narrower than in 5 and 6, 
where it is orange-yellow. P.s. variegata. 
2. Subapical band of the forewing beneath red and more ecpially broad. Ps. tessmanni. 
Ps. nigra. 
(k Forewing beneath without a red subapical band, but sometimes in the black apical part finely 
watered reddish **). 
*. The spot on the posterior margin of the forewing above is red, as far as vein 4 broad, then in 
4 and 5 only 1 mm broad. 
1. The spot on the posterior margin of the forewing beneath is undivided, far remote from the 
base of the areas 2 and 3. Ps. isca. 
2. The spot on the posterior margin of the foreAving beneath in the areas 2 and 1 b parted by 
a black transverse streak; the proximal part is nearer to the base of these areas. 
Ps. minium. 
**. The spot on the posterior margin of the foreAving above is orange-yellow, large and of about 
4 mm width in the areas 4 and 5. 
1. Hindwing beneath light greyish-yellow, with distinct black and red spots. 
Ps. dinora. 
2. Hindwing beneath blackish-grey without any separate black spots. Ps. bakeriana. 
II. Hind wing beneath Avithout red markings ***). 
a. Both wings above as far as the black marginal band orange-yelloAV, dusted dark at the base; foreAving 
above Avith a black dot in the cell, in 1 b and at the cell-apex. Ps. cellularis. 
(k Wings above black; foreAving with an orange-yellow spot on the posterior margin; hindwing with 
an orange-yelloAV costal-marginal stripe. Ps. fusca. 
libentina. Ps. libentina deviates from all the other species by the hindwing beneath being red with a black mar¬ 
ginal band of 2 mm width, enclosing 7 whitish spots; in the red gronnd-colonr there are black basal dots in 1 c 
and 7, a dot at the cell-end and black transverse streaks bordered Avith grey in 1 c to 7; forewing beneath with 
a broad, orange-yelloAV subapical band. •—- libentina Hero. Avas figured according to a in which the spot on 
the posterior margin of the foreAving aboA r e only reaches vein 5. Old Calabar. — zerita Plotz (62 f) <$. Wings

margin, reaching A r ein 3 or 4 and leaving free the discal cell; hindwing with a large, red discal area not reaching 
the margins, groAving broader towards the proximal margin and covering the apex of the cell; foreAA'ing beneath 
black without a spot on the posterior margin; the $ deviates by the spot on the posterior margin of the foreAA'ing 
being still larger, reaching vein 6, forming a transverse streak in the cell and occurring also beneath; the red 
area of the hindwing above is also larger than in the <$. Cameroon to Gaboon. 
pi da. Ps. picta Smith (63 e) rf. Wings above black; forewing with a red transverse spot in the middle of 
the areas 2, 3 (and 4); foreAving beneath black with a red transverse streak in the cell and at its apex, red sub¬ 
apical spots in 3 to 6, and at the margin whitish-grey with a black submarginal line; hindwing beneath as far 
as the grey marginal band whitish, but almost entirely suffused with red, with one kirge, black basal spot 
each in 1 c, 7 and the discal cell, and with thick black transverse streaks in the centre of the areas lc 
to 7; the marginal band with black submarginal streaks in 1 c to 6. ^ unknown. Nigeria near Warri.
