EUPAGIA. By L. B. Peout. 
a distinct red cell-dot. Aiussi-Galla; Ginir, 14 March 1901 (Eelanger), 1 in the Tring Museum. The hind¬ 
wing beneath, at least in this specimen, has a jDostmedian costal spot as in cosfipicta. 
orellala. S. ocellata Warr. (13 f). Founded on a from ‘'Natal”, without more exact localisation, is best dis¬ 
tinguished from all the preceding Sicyodes by the ocellated, not punctiform, cell-mark of the foreudng. The 
grorind-colour of the forewing in the type is pale fawn with an olivaceous tinge and it has some rather charac¬ 
teristic, though small, blackish vein-spots on the postmedian line anteriorly. A ^ from Durban, very little 
larger than the type is more brown, siiffused with ochreous, but is assumed to be the typical ^ form; 
iniuens. antenna very shortly pectinate. — $-f. intuens Prout ( ? sp. div.) (13 g) can be as small as the type but at 
times reaches an expanse of 40 mm and is chiefly distinguished by its considerably enlarged cell-spot, which 
has a diameter of about 1,5 mm and consists of a blackish, red-mixed ring (or square, with blunted corners), 
the enclosed area wliite-grey, sprinkled with blackish, occasionally so densely as to appear black-grey. Ground¬ 
colour variable, pale pinkish cinnamon or cinnamon-buff. Known from Sarnia, Natal (the type), Zululand and 
oenopa. Cape Colony. — ab. (?) oeiiopa nov. is a very beautiful form, of which a $ was taken at Katberg (E. Cape 
Province) in March by Mr. R. E. Turner (typical intuens in October and December). Forewing glossy 
vandyke-red (or slightly pxxrplish), without grey irroration or strigulation, excepting a few blackish marks 
at costa, costal region in proximal area more brick-red, hindwing pale, with inclination to the forewing colour 
at hindmargin, especially near the angle; lines of forewing slender, buff, rather approximated posteriorly, cell- 
spot almost clean white, very slenderly blackrimmed. Underside suffused wdth vinaceous, otherwise more 
typical than upj)er, the vein-dots at the pale postmedian of the forewing developed from costa to 1st median 
vein. As the hindwing looks slightly more gibbous between the radial fold and the 1st median, it is possible 
that this may be a separate species. 
tmrreni. S. warrcni sp. n. {= cambogiaria Warr., 1903, nec Guen.) (13 g). 28—34 mm; $ 31—34 mm. Palpus 
red or reddish. Antennal pectinations in ^ rather long, in $ slender, shortish-moderate. Forewing in ^ 
typically reed yellow, slightly suffxised with olive-yellow, very rarely yellower, and even then more tinged 
W'ith green than in cambogiaria (J; in $ about as in the lastmentioned (J, rarely (if ever) as in typical cam¬ 
bogiaria $; a slight (occasionally copious) sprinkling of dark scales; costal edge narrowly reddish proximally, 
then generally with some red (or distally more fuscous) dots; cell-spot typically (in about 66 per cent.) more 
or less large (up to 1 mm diameter), fuscous with a slight vinaceous admixture, almost solid or with a pale 
pupil, which may be larger than a dot and somewhat vinaceous (G) or yellowish ( ^); G ''vith antemedian line 
occasionally, postmedian never, quite obsolete, the former the less oblique, at times marked with dots on some 
of the veins, the latter reaching costa near apex, rather variable, almost always dotted on the veins anteri¬ 
orly, at times throughout; fringe proximally fuscous (or mixed reddish and fuscous), distally white, with dark 
vein-spots. Hindwing appreciably bulged about the 3rd radial, generally wdiitish, occasionally more drab (or 
vinaceous-drab), in the type-form of the cj conspicuously green tow'ards tornus; the line only reiiresented by 
a curved mark posteriorly, in the $ and often in the with some browm or fuscous marking at the tornus 
itself; fringe behind 2nd median about as that of forewing, the rest jxale, virtually unmarked. Underside in 
(J generally very pale green, the forewdng with a moderate or large amount of drxll or brighter vinaceous suf¬ 
fusion and wdth brighter rosy costa. Kikuyu Escarpment, February—March 1901, an extremely variable 
irroruia. series of 25 and 7 $$ (see Novitates Zoologicae, Vol. 9, p. 536). — (J-ab. irrorata nov. (13 g) is strongly 
olivesens. irrorated, the postixiedian line reduced to vein-dots. — ^J-ab. oHvesens nov. The non-ocellated S'!’© gener¬ 
ally more olive-green, with the lines themselves sometimes w'eakened, but tending to develop wdiite edgings, 
culminating in an ab. extraordinarily like Warren’s type of olivescens. Only the existence of transitions 
prevents our believing that tw-o species (representing perhaps the olivescens and ocellata of South Africa) 
decipiens. are here mixed. — $-ab. decipiens nov. (13 g). Only 1 $ is quite similar to the typical (Jd', another (probably 
not needing a separate name) much yellow'er and Avith an antemedian spot in the fold, a third AA'ith the post¬ 
median thicker and redder, obsolescent in front of the 1st radial, the antemedian represented by red markings 
at fold. The other 4 (which I unite as ab. decipiens) are deceptively similar to typical $$ of cambogiaria, all, 
hoAvever, wdth a patch of the ground-colour (larger or smaller) at midtermen, one in addition Avith much yel- 
low'ish mottling on the posterior part of the dark border; in one of the four the cell-spot of the foreAAdng is 
obsolete; usually, the antemedian maculation is extended; none have the bordered hindAAdng of typical cam¬ 
bogiaria. P. 
13. Genus: £ii|>ag^ia Walk. 
The genotype, determinata Walk., is much like an overgroAvn Axiodes and is perhaps linked thereAA'ith 
by one or tA\m species, notably A. ennomaria; see the generic descrijition of Axiodes. Longer AA’inged than 
Derrioides (the most hairy genus of the Drepanogynis group AAdiich AA'e have yet discussed), AA'ith the distal 
margins crenulate or dentate, face AA'ith a strong, moderately coixipact tuft, vertex AA’ith a similar tuft (some-
