line disappears in the ground-colour. Beneath on the fore wing the eyespot and exterior line as above, the 
eyespot of the forewing without the white margin. 110 mm. Central Africa. 
N. richelmanni Weym. (50 c). Yellow, dusted with claret-colour. Interior line claret-coloured, on the richdmun- 
median vein inwardly removed, the exterior line black, inside grey and red, both much narrower than in 
rendalliana. The small eyespot has orange yellow, black, pink rings. The exterior line is nearer to the margin 
than to the eyespot. On the hindwing the interior line is indicated by a pink shadow, the exterior line as on 
the forewing. Eyespot with yellow, black, red, white, red rings. Beneath on both wings claret-coloured, the 
exterior lines almost straight, the eyespots small, orange yellow, black. 110 mm. Nyassa District.

N. kasaiensis Bouv. is perhaps not different from richelmanni. The following differences are stated: kasuicnsis. 
interior line of forewing twice angular, exterior line blackish-brown, inside edged with pink, which, however, 
is almost the same in richelmanni. 105-115 mm. Congo. 
belina-group. The forewing lacks a real eyespot. 
N. belina Westw. (51 b). The typical form is lighter or darker olive brown. Interior line of forewing bclina. 
outside broad white, mostly somewhat angular at the median vein, otherwise straight, obliquely distad. The 
space as far as the cell often powdered with light. The cut-off hyaline spot is finely edged with dark yellow, 
black, dingy yellow, white. The exterior line is not incurved at the costal margin, inside edged with white. 
On the centre of the distal area sometimes light dusting. Hindwing at the costal margin often pink. Eyespot 
large, with rings of the same colours as on the forewing. Interior line white, exterior line as on forewing. South 
Africa. — junodi Ohth. is claret-coloured, hardly dusted with white. Delagoa Bay. — ukerewensis Rbl. (= ufipana junodi. 
Strd.) (51 b) shows on the fore wing only a punctiform hyaline spot feebly margined with rust-brown. On the ulcerewen- 
hindwing the white margin of the much larger eyespot is fused with the exterior line. 115 mm. Tanganyika 
District. — osiris Drc. (= deborah Weym., sardane South.) has a reddish-brown ground-colour. Also the basal osiris. 
area is often powdered with white. The interior line is straight or uniformly bent. The dusting behind it and 
in the distal area is almost invariably present. The hyaline spot is finely edged with orange and dark. Hindwing 
as far as the exterior line pink, The eyespot has dark yellow, black, pink, white rings. East Africa, 
occidentalis Rothsch. ( = vinosa Rothsch.). Similar to osiris, the apex on the forewing is more produced. Th e occidentalis. 
white dusting is less dense. The exterior line on the forewing is inside margined with red-brown or red before 
the narrow white margin. On the hindwing the exterior line is farther outside, its light edge often disappears 
posteriorly. Gold Coast. — felderi Rothsch. Similar to a red belina, but without coloured rings at the quadran- jcldcri. 
gular hyaline spot of the forewing. Eyespot of hindwing with a large white ring. 120 mm. Abyssinia. This 
may be the osim-form corresponding to ukerewensis. — Larva similar to that of nictitans , jet-black, with 
greenish-yellow dots and single stiff black hairs with white tips. 
N. conradsi Rbl. (= ochreata Griinbg.) (52 a, c). Ground-colour greenish-ochreous, lighter than in conradsi. 
belina. On the forewing the interior line is obtusely angular at the median vein, then vertical to 
the inner margin, outside edged with pinkish-white. The exterior line is on both sides edged the same. Hyaline 
spot punctiform, finely margined with rusty yellow and black. Hindwing at the costal margin pink, otherwise 
blackish violet. Eyespot as in belina. Exterior line inside edged with pinkish-white. The $ is more pink. 
80—100 mm. Tanganyika District. A Congo-specimen (r>) probably also belonging hereto shows the hindwing 
almost redder than the P, and the exterior line is likewise outside edged with white and pink. Beneath the 
eyespot of the forewing shows black, red, white rings without a yellow centre. — ruandana Griinbg. (52 a) the ruandana. 
description of which I could not find, is dark chocolate, on the hindwing with a very large eyespot, distal margin 
dark olive brown. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
N. pales Weym. differs from belina in the absence of the white collar. Ground-colour greenish-grey, -pales. 
Interior line indistinct, exterior line farther distally, very fine. Hyaline spot only margined with blackish- 
brown. Hindwing at the costal margin pink. Eyespot with blackish-brown, black, white rings. Exterior line 
inside edged with white, broader than on fore wing. 1 $ Cameroon. Type in a private collection. 
N. nictitans F. (52 a). Light olive brown, without a light collar. Interior line of forewing notched, nictitans. 
dark. In the median area the central third is of a purer brown. The hyaline spot is a fine dot without rings. 
Exterior line straight, dark, fine, inside finely edged with light. Hindwing at the costal margin somewhat 
pink. Interior line faded black, exterior line thick. Eyespot large, with dark olive-brown, black, ground-colour, 
white rings. 95—115 mm. West Africa. Larva varying from brownish-red to greenish-brown, with pale green 
dots. The short spines brownish-red, posteriorly bent, situate in brown spots, with short white hair. Head, 
cervical shield, and claspers brown. 
Group II. Vein 10 of forewing separately from the cell. Subgenus: Nudaurelia Rothsch. 
N. anna M. A lb. (50 b). Yellow. The interior black-white-red band on the forewing is very indistinct, anna. 
rather straight. Eyespot loam coloured, black and pink. Exterior line broader, straight or in the centre 
slightly incurved, the colours in a reverse order. Behind it another similar, mostly much broader band. On the
