(Insting behind the cell-end. Exteiioi line with a dark spot at the costal margin, then pale, dentate, indistinct, 
obliqne from vein (i to the inner margin. Sidjinarginal line grey, edged with dark, straight, somewhat more 
inwardly placed than nsnal. Hindwing like forewing, broader reddish at the costal margin, more narrowly

red-brown except at the base and costal margin, also above the anal angle only white. The marking consists 
merely of a strong red-brown line from the a])ex to the centre of the inner margin. Darker brown below the 
a])ex. Hindwing ])nrely Avhite. cj IH) mm. West and East Africa, Madagascar. 
16. Genus; €/alli«€les G/o 
ITiis genus contains only 2 Ethiopian species which are at once recognizable by the six undulate pa¬ 
rallel arcuate lines traversing the hindwing. Otherwise very similar to the following genus which likewise shows 
the spiral eye-spot. Separated by the antennae of the J being serrate and set with bristles. Thorax clad 
w'ith hair and scales. Type: appoUvna Gn. Oidy two s])ecies, both from Africa. 
C. appollina Gn. (23 e). Body and wings whitish ochreous. Forewing with a dark brown marking. 
Costal margin dark broAvn, 4 oblit[ue inward lines below- it. A reverse black comma at the cell-end, edged with 
w-hite and brow'n. A quadrangular spot below- it above the centre of the irrner rnargirr. Exterior line yello-v\lsh 
wlnte in browir surroundings, introangirlar at vein 1. Submargirral line yellow-ish rvhite, nndulate, uniformly 
bent, a row of dots before it. Hindwing whitish ochreons, browir at the margin, with nnmerous undulate brown

gloss. 5 blackish lines in the basal area, distally angled in the submedian fold. The head and tail of the comma

Hindw-ing coloured like foreAving, densely covered Avith parallel undulate brown lines. Both Aviirgs Avith a feAA- 
sil\-ery blue scales. 44—50 ninr. Throrrghout Africa excepting its palaearctic part. 
17. Genus: kSpeiretloiiia//6?o 
Of the more than 20 forms described of this genus only tAvo occur in the Ethiopian Region, one of 
Avliich differs strikingly from the usual dark or blackish broAvn colouring of the genus in its yelloAv ground¬ 
colour. 10 forms penetrate into the ])alaearctic region, for aa-IucIi reason they ha\m been dealt AA-ith already 
in Vol. Ill, ]). 325. The 5 forms figured there are approximated by the other- Ethiopian form, (jlaucescens, 
in its coloui'ing and marking. The most conspicuous characteristic is the large eye on the foreAA-ing, the centre 
of Avhich is everyAvhere recognizable as a dark 6-shaped figure. Most of the species ar-e not rare in their patria. 
Froboscis normal, jralpi highly erected. Antennae of ^ finely serrated and tufted in the type. Thorax only 
AA-jth hair. All the tibiae s])ined. Nein-ation of foreAving normal. A hair-tuft in a fold at the inner margin of 
the (5' hindAving in the type. The tAA o African sjrecies are Avithout this hair-jrencil. The antennae of the d are 
strongly seri-ated and tufted. Ty])e: retorta. L., from -Japan to India. 
S. glaucescerss Btlr. (24 a). Thorax greyish broAAui, abdomen red. ForeAving reddish broAvn. Interior 
line dark broAAn. .slightly iiiAvard. straight. The comma-mark is Amry large, broAA-n, black and siHery blue. 
Exterior line dark brown, Ijeginning far iiiAA-ard at the costal margin, encircling the comma, Avidened at the 
iniddle of the inner margin. Submarginal line silvery Avhite, doidAle, undulate, coppery betAA-een, parallel Avith 
the exterior line. HindAving reddish broAvn, pale red at the costal and inner margins. Median line blackish 
l)]-own. thick, a finer line behind it. Tavo exterior undulate lines and tAvo submarginal lines, all Avith a feA\' 
sihmry blue scales, bent ]Aa,rallel. 45—50 mm. Throughout Africa. 
S. griseisigna Hnip.s. (24 a). Body and wings reddish yelloAv, the latter somewhat oliA-e broAvn at the 
margins. Interior line com])osed of 3 dark dots. The comma is divided, grey, an 8-sha])ed spot behind the 
cell, a small one at vein 3, and the tail of the comma at the cross-vein grey. Mecfian line dark broAvu, faded, 
beginning from the 8-,shaped spot to behind the middle of the inner margin. Exterior line marked by a bent 
roAv of dots at the veins. Submarginal line pale, undulate, black dots l)ehind it. HindAving pale red at the
