without markings, the long tail red-brown, edged with dark. The eye-spots on both wings large, almost circular, 
inside pinkish yellow, outside dark yellow, finely surrounded by black. Cocoon similar to that of mimosae. 
170—180 mm. Madagascar. 
A. mimosae Bsd. (49 b). Ground-colour beautiful green. Costal margin and apex of forewing brown mimosae. 
with white scales. An interior line is rarely indicated, the exterior line is undulating, continuous, brown. 
Submarginal band strong at the inner margin, anteriorly it hardly reaches to the centre of the wing. Hindwing 
similar to mittrei, with relatively shorter tails. On the forewing the brown margin projects to the somewhat 
slit-shaped eye-spot, that of the hindwing is rounder. Around the hyaline spot black and yellow margins with 
a blue streak in the inner half. 90 to 120 mm. Transvaal, East Africa. Larva grass-coloured with long conical 
protuberances the tips of which are yellow, set with short black and long yellow hairs. On the sides the segmental 
indentations are blue with yellow streaks. The very solid grey cocoon with fine sieve-like holes. — elucidata ehindala. 
Griinba. (= occidentalis Gschv.) is uniformly light green. The costal-marginal band is lighter. The submarginal 
band beginning from the inner margin only to vein 2. South-West Africa. 
A. besanti Rbl. is smaller than mimosae. Abdomen almost pure white, not yellowish. Ground-colour besanti. 
light bluish-green. On the forewing the veins are broad white, also the space within the exterior line and there 
curved towards the base below’ vein 2. Also the brown costal margin is inside edged with light. On the hindwing 
the eve-spot is somewhat narrower. 0 100 mm. East Africa. It may be only an abnormity. 
2. Genus: Him. 
Palpi thin and long. Antennae of 9 only shortly pectinate. Forewing broad with a round apex. Vein 
10 from the stalk of 7 + 8, veins 9 and 1 I absent. Hindwing with phantastically long thin tails in which the 
veins are hardly separable. The $ with a little anal wool. The pupae lie on the ground without a cocoon. 
Wings very delicately scaled. 
Type: brachyura Dry. 
Tr . ,. brachyura. 
E. brachyura Dry. (= argus Jt.., uroarge Hbn.) (50 b). Ground-colour pink hued with a greenish- 
brown. A light exterior band being far incurved at the costal margin is there and at the inner margin feebly 
indicated. At the distal edge of the cell small hyaline spots of a variable number, mostly 2—4, broad yellow, 
finely edged with black, or only yellow’ spots. On the unmarked hindwing 3—5 small spots. Ends of the tails 
brownish. In some specimens from Cameroon the band of the fore wing is much more distinct and also present 
on the hindwing, as well as traces of an interior band, so that there is a great resemblance to the following- 
species. 50—60 mm. Mesothorax to the end of the tail 90—120 mm. Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Congo. — minor minor. 
Hall, is a very small form in which the distal band of the forewing is absent. Ogowe. — ghesquierii Talb. is ghesquierii. 
larger than the typical form. On the forewing the exterior line is more distinct as far as vein 4. behind it paler 
pink than at the apex. In the distal area a submarginal line in front on the centre of the distal area, 
posteriorly very near to the distal line. If this line is present at all in typical specimens, it is parallel to the 
distal margin. On the hindwing the distal line is distinct. Forewing beneath not hued with yellow. Congo. 
E. argiphontes Ky. (49 a). Ground-colour reddish-brown. On the forewing 2 almost straight, distinct, an/iphon- 
dark brown lines which are closer together at the costal margin. Median area often darker. Hyaline spots /eSs 
of a variable shape, generally arranged in a straight line. On the hindwing the distal line is much stronger than 
the interior line, at the latter also a small hyaline spot. 50—60 mm. As far as the end of the tails 150 mm. 
Sierra Leone, Cameroon. — barnsi J. <4- T. Larger, darker. On the hindwing the exterior line is incurved bar mi. 
at the costal margin and thereby parallel to the distal margin, the interior line inside towards the inner margin 
more intensely edged with pink. On the hind wing the distal line is inside darker. It m i R. 
E. coiini Bouv. is similar to brachyura. Separated by the pinkish-brown colour of the wings and the colini. 
greyish-pink sides of the abdomen. The inner line on the forewing straight, double, at the posterior edge of 
the cell the two branches are nearer together. The distal line is incurved at the inner margin. Both lines 
brown, the enclosed median area darker than the rest of the wing, at its margin without the lines with a light 
shine. Distal line of hindwing very intense. 48 mm. Congo. 
E. troglophvlla Hmps. described in Conte. Laboratoire du Soie Lyon. 15, p. 13 *. This description troglophyl- 
was not accessible to me. 
3. Genus: Kienaea Hbn. 
Fore wing pointed, in the with a somewhat produced apex, interior angle rounded. Vein's 5 and 6 not 
distantly separated, vein 10 branching off near the parting of 7 and the stalk of 8 + 9. Antennae of 2 
only finely dentate. Anterior tibiae without spines. Chiefly separated from Xvdaurelia only by the scheme 
of markings. 
Type: alcinoe Stoll.
