N. horsini Bouv. In the neuration corresponding with aratus. in the colour with fusca, though it is 
somewhat more pink. Forewing of the with a very sharply produced apex. The strong dents at the lines 
as in divaricatus. The eyespot of the hindwing contains between the black centre and the red ling another grey 
one. In the forewing the hyaline spot is punctiform, the lines are dark grey, only the median line is reddish- 
brown. $ 125 mm. Dahomey. 
Subgenus Ubaena Karsch. Antennae also in the 9 pectinate. Apex somewhat roundish. In the forewing 
veins 7 + 10 4- 8 stalked, 9 and 11 being absent. Veins 5 and 6 separated. In the forewing neither an eyespot 
nor a hyaline spot. 
N. dolabella Drc. (49 b). Fore wing yellow with a blackish-brown marking. Basal band broad, notched, 
the median and distal lines slightly curved. Margin broad dark, at the veins variably broad cut by yellow. 
Hindwing pink. The dark interior and median bands faded, the exterior one and the margin as on the fore wing. 
Eyespot orange-brown and black. — fulleborniana Karsch (= moesta Rbl.) in both wings exhibits between 
the median band and the margin only a very narrow light stripe, moesta being an extreme form of it, at the 
distal margin as far as the centre of both wings deep black. 100—120 mm. East Africa. Nvassa District. 
All the following species in which vein 10 of the forewing is stalked with 7, form the subgenus Gonim- 
brasia Btlr. 
Both wings with eyespots. Fore wing with a round apex. Veins 10 4- 7 + 8 stalked. 9 as a short spur 
on 8, vein 11 absent. Antennae of 2 shortly pectinate. 
arabella-group. 
N. arabella Aur. Body dark red. Forewing orange-yellow. Marking blackish-brown. The two thick 
transverse lines approximated at the inner margin. Distal margin with large spots. On the hindwing the interior 
half is pink, all the rest as on the forewing. The eyespots on both wings with an elliptical hyaline spot, with 
orange-brown, black, red, white, red rings. 110 -125 mm. Transvaal, Natal. — jacksoni .lord. (-. oenopa 
Griinbg.) (49 c). The interior line on the forewing is white. Both wings as far as the exterior line claret-coloured, 
the latter line edged with white. East Africa. Uganda, Transvaal. — carabella Stnl. is a $ of jacksoni in which 
the eyespot touches the exterior line. -rosea Bouv. shows pink veins in the marginal area, the tegulae finely 
edged with yellow. 
N. princeps Le Cerf. Size and shape of wings as in arabella. Ground-colour greyish-yellow. On the 
forewing the interior line is nearer to the eyespot than to the base, rather straight, inside white, outside yellow. 
The exterior line is white, yellow, black, similar to oubic. The large round eyespot shows wood-coloured brown, 
black, white, greyish-brown rings. Hindwing at the base and distal margin lighter, in the centre lined with 
claret-colour. Both wings in the distal areas densely powdered with grey. The interior line on the hindwing 
black-white, the exterior line greyish-white black Eyespot smaller than on forewing, with black, red, white 
rings. 120 mm. Angola. — callichroma Le Cerf. All the yellow and greyish-yellow colour is replaced by red \ealUchroma. 
it may be a subordinate form of jacksoni. 
N. oubie Guer. Ground-colour blackish-brown. Veins, costal margin and fringe ochreous-yellow. oubic. 
Interior line obliquely distad, below the cell angular, the exterior line almost parallel to the distal margin, both 
pink and white. Eyespot large, with olive brown, black, red, white rings, nearer to the interior line. Hindwing 
as far as the exterior line pink, eyespot and margin as on forewing. Abdomen with dark brown rings. — aethiopica aethiopica. 
Le Cerf. In the forewing the eyespot is equidistant from both the lines, with hardly any red, the lines at most 
slightly edged with pink .- argillosa Le Cerf is a form of it with a pointed forewing. Veins and costal margin argillosa. 
broadly lighter ochreous. The white lines on both sides narrowly edged with pink. - rothschildi Le Cerf (49 c). rothschildi. 
Costal margin on the forewing as far as the interior line broad white. Eyespot without a red ring, nearer to 
the exterior line, the lines white. Abdomen unicoloured yellowish-brown. neuvillei Le Cerf shows at the neuvillci. 
eyespot of the forewing a fine ochreous ring around the black one. Hindwing more intensely red. and in ca'lista callista. 
Le Cerf the dark places of both wings are almost black. The forms follow in the same order from Abyssinia 
to southern East Africa. — The form from the Tanganyika District is as dark as callista. The eyespot has olive 
brown, black, white, reddish-yellow rings. The exterior line is outside edged with a deep black. In zaddachi ~ addachi. 
Dew. (49 c) the costal margin and veins are reddish-orange. The eyespot of the forewing shows red brown, 
black, white, ochreous rings. The exterior line is inside edged with pink, outside with black. Abdomen reddish- 
brown. angolan Le Cerf, likewise from the western coast, has narrower lines, the interior line not angular, antjotan. 
extending uniformly obliquely distad. The species also occurs in the Transvaal, but the form has not been 
denominated. 85—95 mm. - ferruginea Bouv. is similar to rothschildi . The red ring on the eyespot of the ferruginea. 
hindwing is pale brick red. Hindwing more rusty red. Congo. 
hersilia-group. 
N. macrophthalma Ky. (50 a). Ground-colour brownish yellow, on the hindwing turning salmon- macro ph- 
pink. Interior line of fore wing black and pinkish-white, obliquely distad, introangular below the cell. In specimens 
which I take to be the species it is also red-brown. Eyespot small, pale, with black and pinkish-white rings. 
Exterior line pinkish-white, parallel to the distal margin, slightly undulated, inside edged with pink, outside 
with black. Hindwing with a faded interior line. Eyespot large, with black, red, white rings. Exterior line
