with raised edge. Hind tibiae (in the d' the tarsi) rough, at the most twice as long as the first segment 
of the hindtarsi. Neuration as in Pais ; wings broad, on the forewings the two median nervules farther aj)arf 
at the cell than at the margin, on the hindwings vice versa. Abdomen with median'dorsal crest on the 3 or 4 
anterior segments (only in good specimens). 
M. maenas. Under surface of wings and of body as well as the upper surface of the hindwings orange, 
abdomen banded with black and orange above. Forewings yellowish-grey, suffused with fuscous, marked in 
cell and at its apex with blackish-brown lines, and on the disk with a double line; nervures narrowly brown, 
at the margin black-brown streaks between the veins. Hindwings with a row of brownish-black marginal 
spots. Under surface of the forewings with a black spot in the cell and another similar one on the discocellular, 
before the margin in either wing a blackish-brown, distally blurred line. From 8enegambia to the Congo 
and Uganda. — Specimens from FTganda and from the Upper Congo (type) have the marginal spots on the hind¬ 
wings much narrower than their interspaces, and connected with one another by a fine blurred line: ^ dis- disjuncta. 
juncta subs-p. nov. In specimens from Senegambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast and Nigeria these are broader and 
usually (at least in part) united: = maenas H.-Schdff. (2 g). maenas. 
M. triphaenoides Wkr. (2 f). Abdomen above black with white transverse bands. Forewings blackish iriphaen- 
fuscous to red-brown, more or less mottled with white, with a blurred, broadly white discal band. Hindwings 
orange-red, with the black marginal band nearly uniformly wide, variable, often distinctly widening posteriorly. 
Under surface of the forewings to the middle or two thirds likewise orange, with black cellspot, and in the 
black outer area a white discal band. — From Senegambia to the Congo and Uganda. 
12, Genus: Apaeg’04?era Hmps. 
Resembles Metagarista, with the third segment of the palpi longer, 2. subcostal arising either at the se¬ 
condary cell or beyond it. Might perhaps more justly be united with Metagarista. 
A. argyrogramnia H^ups. (4 a). Body like that of M. triphaenoides (2 f). Forewings brown, darker at argyro- 
costal and posterior margin, with a email round white spot in the upper angle of the cell, and on the disk a 
white band composed of spots. Hindwings fulvous with broadly black marginal band. Fringe black and white. 
Smaller than Jf. triphaenoides. On the forewings 2. subcostal arising beyond secondary cell. — Ashanti; 1 G 
in the British Museum. 
A. aurantiipennis Hmps. resembles Weymeria athepw, from the preceding species distinguished by the aurantii- 
fulvous colour of the basal ^/-s of the forewings. 2. Subcostal in the forewings arising at the secondary cell, 
■— Uganda. 
Possibly also S. (?) rtis'pina Auriv. should be referred here (cf. p. 17). 
13. Genus: ^ehaiisia Karsch. 
Frons in G very narrow, especially behind. Antennae thickened distally. 3. segment of palpi rough, 
shorter than in Aegocera. Tibiae devoid of spines, the middle and hind ones as well as the 1. segment of tarsi 
covered with long hair above. Neuration as in Aegocera fervida and allies. Differs from Mitrophrys in having, at 
least in d, the antennae distinctly thickened distally, in the narrow frons of A the very rough middle and 
hind tibiae. 
S. leona. Blackish-brown, head and thorax chestnut-brown. Antennae with blunt apex. Forewings 
deep chestnut-brown above, with prominent lead-coloured markings, a large subbasal blotch and a long- 
ish transverse discal spot white. Hindwings white, with black marginal border tapering posteriorly. West 
Africa. — leona Schaus (2 f) is found in the Northwest, from Sierra Leone to the Niger. On the hindwdngs the leona. 
marginal border irregularly doubly sinuous, the abdominal margin not black. — congoana Jord. has the mar- congoana. 
ginal border of the hindwings less sinuous and narrower posteriorly, the abdominal margin black. Congo. 
S. transiens Hynps. (2 e). Body, hindwings, beneath also the base of forewings orange, head, palpi, 
thorax and forewings above chestnut-brown, abdomen with fulvous longitudinal stripe on the back, tipped in 
the cJ with yellow, in $ with brown. Forewings as in leona with two white spots; distal margin metallic leaden 
grey. Hindwings with black ($) or fulvous ($) marginal band. — Niger, Old Calabar and LTganda.
