-M. repanda F. (30 bb Thorax and fore\\-ing greyish brown, brownish ochreous. or reddisli i'ln wn. In¬ 
terior line dark, almost straight, somewhat outward, exceptionally before it a small black spot or a: i: :t 
larger one above the inner margin, sometimes also _ spots above and below vem 2 . Reniform macula oval, 
large, edged with dark, with a dark streak inside. Below it another larger fuie dark ring, adjouiing to it a 
si mil arly indistinct double notched median line. Exterior line dark brovm. straight, obhquely inward, sitortly

formed of black dots, darker before it. Hmdwing mostly lighter than the forewing, with a dark median line 
and a broad margin wliicli is hghter m the middle. According to the somewhat variable ground-coloTir different 
names: repandana Strd.. repandeUa and repandoidts Sird. The names: indodafa Harr, and Irdinrs Gn. presum¬ 
ably refer to American specimens. The range is almost hicredibly vast, extending over the whole of Africa. 
Madagascar and the adjoining islands. Besides from Labrador to Argentina. 
.M. frugalis F. (= lycopodia Gcyer. translata BTr.). Thorax and forewing pale olive brown. A black 
dot near the base at the inner margin, another one in the centre of the cell. A strong dark radial blotch in 
the submedian fold. Reniform macula hardly discernible, fmely edged dark. Exterior hne black, fr'om vein 
6 to vein 1 . extinct above and below it. edged light inside, to -3 inner margin. The submarginal line is a 
straight row of black dots, dark before it as far as the exterior line. 'Hindwing somewhat more yellow, witli 
a dark median line and a dark margin. The normal form just described is called: frugalisana Sird. ^obb'. 
the rare typical form is tvithout the dark blotch in the submedian fold and it is only slightly darkened behind 
the exterior line. 3o—40 mm. — Larva long, slender, yellowish brovut with fuie reddish and dark undulate 
lines, with black macular bands on the dorsum between the oth and Sth segments, a yellow lateral streak 
below the stigmata: on ginger. — Distributed over the whole of Africa and the African islands, tar into the 
Australian archipelago. 
The following 4 species show only the tibiae hairy, not the tarsi. Their markings aiv quite dissimilar and 
they also differ entirely from those of the two preceding species.

ferently named by Walkek: mufuaia. jugalis. diffundtiis. a-ssociafa. sabatncscohs. mcoirci-sa. Eorewing from 
greyish brown to reddish brown with a slight violet tinge. Interior hne yellowish white, excurved at the inner 
margin. If there is a black dot before it above the inner margin, it is virbia Stall, being narrowly edged dark -dhli. 
outside. IMedian line undulate, double, somewhat steeper than the interior line. Reniform macula large, indis¬ 
tinctly edged. Somewhat dark before the exterior line, tapering towards the inner margin. Exterior line arched 
between the costal margin and the tniddle of the cross-vein, theti obliquely outward as frr as vein _. where 
it ends. — pellita Gn. is darkened behind the interior and exterior lines. Submarginal line of black dots. re. 
sometimes a light lunar lute behind it. Hindwiitg ochreous with a dark median line and margin. — Small speci¬ 
mens of pellita occurring in Aladagascar are called: mayeri Bsd. — 3S—4S mm. ATry common throughout 
Africa, occurring as far as Japan and the Sunda Is.: also the Indian prepaffr Ga. is a race of it. - Larva 
violettish brown, speckled dark, the sides yellov ish with red lines and rou s of small black dots. Head with 
a brovut and red stripe on the sides. It lives in India on the telegraph-plant and presumably also on other 
Rapilionaceae.

and forewing greyish brown tvith an intense violet admixture. Interior line steeper than in andafa. very 
slightly extra-angular at the costal margin. Reniform ntacula large, edged with dark. Alediaii line from its 
lower edge to the submedian fold inward, arched at vein I. There may also be another irregular line indicated 
before this line, extending from the costttl margin to the iitner margin. Exterior line far excurved between 
the costal margin and the discal fold, forming an inward point in the fold, then downward to the submedian 
fold and upward to the reniform macula. Subinarginal line light, dentate, edged with dark, dark nisty browit 
before it as frr as the exterior line. with a bicuspid black spot behind the rettiform tnaetda aud another 
spot at the submarginal line at vein 7. Hindwing darker than in imdaia with a single median line and a double 
exterior line. — mutuarides Strd. exhibits a black spot behind the exterior line in the discal fold on the fore- r u ia'-:

coarsely dusted dark. Eorewing tvith a black spot at the cross-vein. Exterior line fine black, obliquely out¬ 
ward from the costal margin as far as vein tk somewhat inward between veins o and 3. then very obliquely
