M. adelgunda Stgr. (62 e). Wings above blackish-brown; forewing with 5 yellowish-white dots or 
spots, one in the cell, one in 1 b before the middle, one in the middle of area 3, and two near the costal margin 
in 6 and 7; hindwing unmarked; fringes between the ends of the veins white; both wings beneath black 
with numerous white spots, 2 or 3 of which are in the discal cell and two curved transverse rows before the 
margin. Forewing at the posterior margin whitish-grey, j Cameroon to the Ogowe River. 
M. dorothea Baker very much resembles adelgunda and, according to the description, it seems only 
to differ by the hindwing above showing 4 light spots, one in the base of area 3, one on each side of vein 2, 
one in 1 b, and one at the costal margin near the apex. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Sierra Leone. 
M. adelgitha Hew. (64 a, as adelgitta) is smaller than adelgunda, but beneath quite similarly marked 
and above only deviating by the forewing being unmarked in the basal half and showing 2 or 3 postdiscal 
white spots arranged in an arcuate line (in [3] 5 and 9). Hindwing above with or without a white dot in area 4. 
Cameroon to Gabun. 
M. fuscula jSm. Wings above blackish-grey with light yellowish markings; forewing in the basal half 
with a dot in 1 b, one in the cell, and 3 at the costal margin, and with a postdiscal, irregular transverse band 
curved almost in the shape of an S, beginning at the costal margin, ending behind at vein 2 and being a little 
thickened in area 3; hindwing with a curved transverse row of small streaks or dots in 1 a to 4. Wings beneath 
blackish and, as in the preceding species with numerous white, or light yellow spots partly combined to 
transverse bands. Benin Coast near Warri. 
M. mabangi Baker is described as follows: ,,Head, thorax, and abdomen above blackish; abdomen 
beneath light brown; palpi above blackish, beneath and laterally creamy; legs black with light rings. Forewing 
blackish-brown with a postmedian, indistinct, angled, yellowish stripe; hindwing blackish-brown with a broad, 
orange, median transverse band from the proximal margin to vein 7. Both wings beneath blackish-grey 
with yellowish spots and streaks; forewing with two transverse streaks in the cell and a larger one at the 
cell-end; from the light yellowish posterior margin extends, behind the middle towards the costal margin, an 
orange-yellow transverse stripe interrupted at vein 6 and narrowed towards the costal margin; a fine, interrupted, 
light submarginal line and a thicker antemarginal line are connected by a spot in area 5. Hindwing beneath 
with 2 basal dots, a transverse row of 3 dots and 2 or 3 dots, of which that at the costal margin is much 
larger than the others; costal margin as far as this spot broadly ochreous-yellow; a broad, irregular transverse 
band somewhat behind the middle from the costal margin to the proximal margin, and two submarginal lines. 
Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Sierra Leone. 
M. alberta Stgr. (62 e). <$. Forewing above one-coloured black without markings; hindwing above 
black with an orange-yellow transverse band extending from the proximal margin to vein 6 and being broader 
towards the proximal margin. Wings beneath blackish with small, white spots at the base, two rows of such 
spots at the margin and a median transverse band which is narrow, white and curved on the forewing thick 
and yellowish on the hindwing. Ths $ deviates by both wings above showing a complete, yellow transverse 
band of 1 to 2 mm width and several yellowish dots in the basal part. On the under surface the median band 
is broader and yellowish. Ogowe River. 
M. cingulum Ham. Drv.ce ,,is closely allied with alberta and not differing above; beneath, however, 
it differs by the hindwing showing instead of the fine line a submarginal row of small lunae.“ Cameroon: Bitje. 
M. brunnea Ky. (64 b). Both wings above blackish with an indistinct, common, grey transverse 
band being yellowish and somewhat expanded at the proximal margin of the hindwing. Wings beneath blackish 
with a narrow, distinct, white transverse band a little behind the middle, and close in front of the margin with 
a row of black dots bordered with white; basal part without spots. West Africa. 
M. triangularis Auriv. (64 b). Forewing on both sides one-coloured black without markings. Hind¬ 
wing black above with an orange-yellow transverse band extending from the proximal margin to vein 5 and 
being very much expanded at the proximal margin; beneath only with an almost equally broad, light yellow 
transverse band reaching the costal margin. Cameroon. 
14. Genus: Ei»esmo|>si«8es Strand. 
We may add to what has been said in the review of the genus: ,,palpi hairy and subsetous, projecting 
far beyond the forehead; the terminal joint long, thin, subcylindrical“. Vein 6 of the forewing almost rises 
from the middle of the footstalk of 8 and 9 (7 being absent); the veins 10 and 11 rise separately from the anterior 
margin of the cell. 
E. bichroma Strand (64 b). Black, above with a bright, orange-yellow anal-marginal part of the forewing 
and costal-marginal part of the hindwing; these two spots together form an irregularly bordered, transver¬ 
sely oval area of 6 mm length and 8 mm width, 2 to 3 mm distant from the base; at the posterior margin 
of the forewing it is 1 to 2 mm distant from the anal angle, and at the anterior apex reaching to vein 5 it
