ACHAEA. By M. Gaede. 
white apical spot is absent. Basal area of hinclwing from the middle of the costal margin to the anal angle red¬ 
dish brown, blackish behind it. The yellow apical spot straightly bordered inside. 50—55 mm. Madagascar. 
czcu. A. ezea Cr. (= hircus F., leona FIdr.) (27 c). Red-brown, with a slight coppery gloss, the lines as in¬ 
distinct as in dejeani. Interior line double, lighter red-brown, undulate, a lighter spot before it in the submedian 
fold. Reniform macula indicated by black dots. Median line mostly even less distinct than the exterior line, 
both parallel, excurved behind the cell, vertical from the submedian fold. Median area somewhat lighter froiii 
vein 3 to the costal margin. Traces of a lighter spot at the costal margin from the exterior line to the apex. 
Submarginal line not discernible, darkest behind it. Hindwing blackish brown, margin narrowly pale yellow 
thoincusiti. as far as vein 4. — thomensis E. Prout, from Sao Thome, differs only slightly. The yellow apical spot on the 
hindwing is somewhat darker, and somewhat broader at the apex. Besides the small, often absent yellow dots 
at the anal angle and next to it are larger in thomensis. — By far most of my continental ezea are almost uni¬ 
formly red-brown, without any recognizable lines, and only determinable by the hindwing. 50—55 mm. West 
and South Africa. 
c::coidcti. A. ezeoidcs Strd. is somewhat smaller and darker than ezea (27 c), greyer at the base and narrowly so at 
the margin, the rest blackish brown. Interior line black, pale yellow' outside, slightly undulated, somewdiat 
oblicpie. Exterior line angled at vein 0, extinct soon below it. Submarginal line yellow, edged with black on 
both sides, almost^'parallel with the margin. Hindwing not different from ezea. $ 40 mm. Cameroon. 
huslru. A. busira Strd. Wings dark red-brown. Interior line of forewing black, dentate, straight, undulate. 
Behind it at the inner margin a short band light inside and dark outside, somewhat outward as far as vein 2, 
somewhat broader at the inner margin itself, otherwise very narrow. An oblique streak at the cross-vein. The 
usual costal-marginal spot grey, with an outward dent-like projection below. The exterior line traverses this 
spot, dentate, dark, somewhat outward, disappearing soon below it in the ground-colour. Costal margin and 
apex of hindwing narrowly golden yellow, blackish brown below it as far as vein 4, besides a slightly dentate 
black curved median line. Described according to a badly preserved 59 mm. Congo. 
ficxuosa. A. flexuosa E. Front. Thorax tobacco-brown, abdomen greyer. Forewing pale brown at the base and 
between the exterior and submarginal lines, pale red-brown in the median area; around the interior line the 
two colours run into one another. Pale greenish brown at the exterior line. Margin red-brown with white spots 
before the black marginal line. Lines indistinct, blackish. Interior line from a light spot at the costal margin, 
then formed of dark red-brown dusting, perhaps forming a double line. Median line only at the costal margin, 
faded. Exterior line proceeding from 2 light spots at the costal margin, continued in dark lunar spots, some¬ 
what excurved towards the inner margin. An exterior branch is indicated by dark dusting. Reniform macula 
somewhat dark, narrow, with pale marginal dots. Submarginal line blackish, faded, very undulate. Hindwing 
dark brown, broadly light yellow at the apex, more narrowly so at the costal margin. $ 70 mm. Sao Thome. 
catocaloUles. A. catocaloides CEi. (= exhibens Wkr.) (27 e). Body and forewing reddish brown, the lines fine, dark. 
Interior line somewhat undulate, straight, oblique. Reniform macula small, with 2 black dots, a broad, vertical, 
quite extinct median shadow runs over it. Exterior line dentate outward as far as vein 0, then slightly concave 
inward, and vertical to the inner margin. An undulate dark submarginal line is rarely indicated. Hindwing 
dark brown, marginal area blackish brown. A yellow band from the middle of the costal margin, ending pointed 
at vein 2. Small yellow spots at the apex, at the middle of the distal margin and above the anal angle. — Three 
deviating forms have not been denominated. The first lias a strong dark median band. The second shows the 
space from the band to the exterior line blackish brown. The third is light violet around the exterior line. 
45—55 mm. West Africa, Uganda, East Africa. 
ohvia. A. obvia Hm.ps. (27 d). Distantly similar to balteata. Body brown, forewing dark brown, much lighter 
in the median area, the margin somewhat lighter. Interior line double, yellowish brown, filled with black, oblique 
and somewhat undulate. A black spot at the upper cell-angle. Traces of a dark double median line extending 
around the spot outside. Exterior line double, yellowish brown, parallel with the interior line, ending at the 
anal angle. A white spot at the apex. The border of the lighter marginal area from this spot inward, extra- 
angular at vein 4, then to the exterior line below vein 2. Hindwing dark brown with a white apical spot, narrowly 
xmibrata. prolonged as far as vein 4. Niger District. — umbrata Strd. (27 d) is dark also in the median area, the apical 
spot is rusty brown, a rather light reniform macula is present. 48 mm. Cameroon. 
Icnzi. A. lenzi Saahn. (27 d). Thorax and forewing chocolate brown, suffused with violet in the S. A lighter 
band from the middle of the costal margin to the inner margin near the anal angle, parted dark longitudinally, 
bordered by 2 dark brown lines which are edged lighter outside. Two black white-edged spots at the cross- 
vein, the edging of the lower one showing a point upward. Marginal area light brown, separated from the dark 
rest by a lighter line. The border-line is bent at vein 7, more pointedly outward at vein 3, then vertical to 
the anal angle, bent inward between. Aj)ex Hightly darkened, in the bendings above and below vein 3 there 
is one bluish-white faded spot each, more distinct in the <5'. Hindwing dark brown, lighter at the base. Narrowly 
yellov/ at the apex, with a yellow marginal line as far as vein 4. 40 mm. Madagascar. 
balteata. A. balteata Joan. (29 b) is presumably only a subordinate form of Jenzi. Thoiux and foi'ewing dark 
olive brown, the margin yellowish brown. All the lines oblicjue from the middle of the costal margin to the
