sides, excurved at vein 6, bent inward above and below it. Hindwing pale reddish brown with a faded dai’k 
median and exterior band. The $ is quite greyish brown, the median line distinct, the exterior line comjjosed 
of light and dark dots. Submarginal line more extensively edged with red-brown. - postaurantiaca Sird. with 
orange hindwings. — alypophanes (?) B.-Bak. has both wings brownish ochreous. - variabilis (rj) Mab. is 
similar, but the exterior line of the forewing begins with a black spot. — subflava Warr. is orange on the hind¬ 
wing above. Both vdngs beneath of a bright yellow, broadly blackish at the margin. 38 mm. Distributed 
all over Africa. 
P. clytie sp. n. (30 e) resembles moderata and Ititosa on the forewing. Ground-colour variable, redflish 
brown, reddish, or ochreous. Interior line extra-angular below the costal margin, more oblique than in 
moderata, more similar to lutosa (30 d). Reniform macula mostly very strong, black. Exterior line somewhat 
farther incurved at vein 2 than in moderata. The submarginal line extends from the angle at vein 0 somewhat 
more inward to the costal margin than in moderata and lutosa. Interior and exterior lines dark in light speci¬ 
mens, light edged with dark in dark specimens. Hindwing as broadly margined with dark as in the genus 
Clytie Hhn., with a light marginal spot at the anal angle as far as behind the cell. Ground-colour ochreoiis 
or browTiish. Both wings beneath yellowish white with a distinct broad dark marginal area. ^ and $ 3o mm. 
East Africa. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
P. mclybdopasta Hmps. (20 h) is a very different, very dark species. Thorax and forewing dark red- 
brown, dusted silvery blue at the costal margin as far as behind the middle. Marginal area jialer. Interior 
line black, spot-like at the costal margin, somewhat excurved, very indistinct. A black lima at the cross-vein. 
Exterior line black, also beginning with a spot at the costal margin, shghtly excurved behind the cell, slightly 
bent inward at vein 2, outward again towards the inner margin. Directly behind the line much lighter. Hind¬ 
wing reddish brown, with a broad dark margin and a straight dark median line. 35 mm. 1 $ captured in 
Northern Rhodesia. — argenteocaerulea Strd. is the other $ from the same habitat. Its whole forewing is 
dusted silvery blue, the marginal area scarcely paler, tlie hindwing darker.

52. Genus: Sypiioicles Hmps.

of bipectinated in the only African species. Beside the species mentioned here two Indian ones are known.

the common Japanese and Chinese Sypna picta Btlr. (Vol. Ill, pi. 66 g), Avliich resemblance may also have 
occasioned the name of the genus. — Tliorax and foreving reddish brown. Median area white, irregularly 
bordered. In it a conical blackish brown spot from the costal margin to the centre of the cell, and a short 
narrow band inward from the base of vein 3, expanded into a large spot at the inner margin. Ring-macula 
indicated by a black ring. Reniform macula ivith a reddish brown centre and a liluish wliite edge, irregularly 
shaped outside. Exterior line indistinctly double, thickened from the costal margin, straightly downward, 
slightly excurved at veins 4 and 5, then undulate obliquely inward. Submarginal line blackish brown, brown¬ 
ish ochreous inside, undulate, projecting at vein 4, slightly concave above it, then parallel to the margin. 
White dots before the margin. Hindwing reddisli brown with a black median line which turns ivliite near 
the inner margin. Exterior line indistinctly dark. C mm. Gold Coast, Ogowe. 3 CC known. 
53. Genus: Cerocala Bsd. 
The genus has been treated u])on already in Vol. Ill, p. 340; of the 4 species enumerated there, how¬ 
ever, confnsa is not palaearctic. Most of the African sjiecies are as beautiful as the palaearctic ones. One 
species is known from Indo-China. Type: scapudosa, Him. from Southern Europe. Cf. Vol. Ill, p. 340.

area before it also dark. The ring-macula is a black dot Avith silvery scales, the reniform macula composed 
of 2 white dots. Exterior line downward as far as below vein 3, then bent upAvard to the loAver cell-angle and 
vertical to the inner margin. The line is partly edged silvery, the space behind it as dark as the base. Hind¬
