NEAVEIA; EPITOLINA; PHYTALA. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
as the two first together. Femora and tibiae of all the legs distinctly swollen. Antennae short. Forewing with 
the costal margin very convex at the base and the posterior margin emarginated before the middle almost 
as far as the anal angle. Discal cell of the forewing shorter than half the wing, veins 2 and 3 rising near each 
other far before the posterior angle; 4 from the posterior angle, 5 from the anterior angle, 6 from the cell, 
8 and 9 on a long footstalk from 7, 10 and 11 separately from the cell, the latter almost from the middle of 
the cell. Hindwing with the veins 3 and 4 on a short footstalk from the posterior angle of the cell, 5 
nearer to 6 than to 4, 6 from the apex of the cell, 8 short, at the base very much bent. 
flava. T. flava Baker. Head, thorax, abdomen and both wings ochreous-yellow; forewing at the costal 
and distal margins very broadly black; hindwing with a very broad black marginal band gradually tapering 
off towards the anal angle and apex. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. On the Upper Niger. 
24. Genus: Hfeaveia Ham. Druce. 
This genus seems entirely to harmonize with Epitola in the neuration. It is not stated in what way 
it differs from Epitola. As I was unable to examine the species, I must leave this a mooted question. In the 
$ we notice a streak-shaped mealy spot on vein 1 on the forewing above as in Deloneura and many Epitola- 
species. 
lambomi. N. lamborni Ham. Druce (64 d). Both wings above and beneath yellowish white with a slight greenish 
tint; forewing above at the costal margin and distal margin broadly black or brown; the black band at the 
apex about 6 mm, at the anal angle only 1 mm broad. Hindwing without markings. Palpi black; the 
second joint on the inside covered with brown hair. Nigeria, near Oni. 
25. Genus: Epitolina Auriv. 
This genus is likewise closely allied with Epitola and only deviates by the short footstalk of the veins 
7 to 9 on the forewing. Antennae with long, thin joints and a distinctly defined club. 
In the both wings are above black with a steel-blue or somewhat violet reflection; in the $$ the 
forewing shows an orange-yellow spot reaching vein 1, but not the posterior margin. 
E. dispar. The under surface of the hindwing with little distinct, reddish or light yellowish spots 
or transverse bands; in the $ the yellow spot of the forewing above in area 2 is about 2 to 2 % mm broad, 
dispar, tapering off and pointed anteriorly, ending at vein 6. In dispar Ky. (64 d) the discal band of the hindwing 
cordelia. beneath is thickened and broader than the other bands. Ashanti to Ogowe. — Cordelia Ky. (?) only deviates 
by the rows of spots or transverse bands on the hindwing beneath being all narrow and equally broad. Cameroon 
melissa. to Gabun. — melissa Ham. Druce has above in the E a violet reflection and agrees with cordelia beneath or 
it has an almost unspotted under surface. Acldah. 
catori. E. catori Baker seems to deviate from dispar by the under surface showing sharply defined red 
markings, and by the orange-vellow spot of the forewing being very broad in the $. Sierra Leone. 
26. Genus: Phytala Westw. 
In the neuration Phytala only deviates by the veins 11 and 12 of the forewing being fused for some 
distance. In the ES the wings above areTor the greatest part of a bright blue colour. The £9 are still unknown, 
except the $ of dais. 
Review of the Species. 
I. Large species, 60 to 70 mm. The wings beneath with alternatively light and dark, broad transverse bands. 
The greenish-blue colour of the forewing above without black spots; the forewing above at the base 
of the posterior margin with a blackish mealy spot. Ph. elais. 
II. Smaller species, 32 to 36 mm. <$. The blue colour of the forewing above with black spots in the discal 
cell and in the base of the areas (2, 3), 4 to 6.
