white median line, sharply curved around the eyespot, terminating at the costal margin and anal margin far 
towards the base. 80—90 mm. Sierra Leone. The 2 of this species has remarkably strong antennal pectinations. 
congolensis Bouv. is more yellowish-red. larger. The hyaline spot of the forewing is finely margined with 
yellow, blackish-red, pink, and incompletely with white. The eyespot of the hindwing is somewhat different 
from that in belina. with dark yellow, black, pink, and white lings. 105—115 mm. Congo. 
N. reducta Rbl. $. Light ochreous. The exterior line is as steep as in nyassana. On the eyespot of 
the hindwing the black ring is followed by a red one, then only conies the pink one. The slight difference 
in the veins is mentioned as the reason of its being an independent species, but we can only decide upon this 
when we know the larva. It may be the 9 of nyassana. 90—100 mm. Nyassa District. 
N. bamendana A. Schultze is similar to gueinzii. Ground-colour more chrome-yellow. Transverse lines 
unicoloured violettish-grey, the exterior line slightly excurved above vein 0. The eyespot has a narrow yellow 
and broader violettish-brown ring. On the hindwing the exterior line is parallel to the distal margin. The much 
smaller eyespot has yellow, black, carmine, reddish-white rings. Larva similar to that of Gon. osiris. 2 100 mm. 
Cameroon. 
hi the following species the apex of the forewing is very taperingly produced. 
N. latifasciata South. Chrome-yellow. The two bands broad claret-coloured, the interior one somewhat 
undulating, the exterior one straight, at the costal margin broader. Eyespot small, with yellow, black rings. 
On the hindwing the two lines are united at the costal margin. Eyespot rather large, somewhat quadrangular, 
with yellow, black, red rings. B U0 mm. Dahomey. 
N. germaini Bouv. Ground-colour and arrangement of the lines similar to latifasciata. dusted with 
reddish near the inner margin of the forewing, particularly before the exterior line. The small eyespot is margined 
with yellow and reddish. On the hindwing the interior yellow ring forms an incomplete hexagon, the last pink 
ring being broad. The two lines are in front even more distantly separated than behind. On the forewing the 
exterior line is broad greyish-black, on both sides narrowly margined with reddish, in front it is still broader 
grey. In the marginal area 5 reddish notched spots. The apex is still more produced than in latifasciata. 
N. gschwandneri Rbl. (51 c). Orange-yellow. The basal area is bordered by a broad line projecting 
pointedly distad at the median vein. Exterior line double, red-brown, filled with grey, parallel to the distal 
margin. Before it at the costal margin violettish-grey. The median area is more or less intensely suffused with 
red-brown. The eyespot is diminutive, margined with yellow, dark. In the marginal area a violettish-brown 
notched band. On the hindwing also both lines broad, anteriorly united. Eyespot with orange-yellow, black, 
red. pink rings. The band in the marginal area may be absent. 105—120 mm. Cameroon, Congo. 
N. emini Btlr. Similar to gschwandneri. The interior line is uniformly notched. Eyespot small, hyaline 
spot inside straight, margined with yellow, black. The dark notched band in the marginal area is stronger. 
On the hindwing the basal area is flesh-coloured. Eyespot as in gueinzii. The notched band is feeble. — macrops 
Rbl. (51 c). Forewing with a large round hyaline spot. Median area more intensely darkened, the interior line 
almost straight. The exterior dentate band, particularly on the forewing very broad. 125—135 mm. Xyassa 
District. — benguelae Obth. shows the exterior lines on both wings more distinctly double than macrops, the 
hyaline spots are of the same size. The eyespot on the hindwing is besides surrounded by another black ring. 
Apex of forewing also in the 9 somewhat produced. 9 160 mm. Benguela. 
N. amathusia Weym. (53 a). Claret-coloured. A broad, notched, faded, interior band is grey, in the 
type not recognisable. Exterior line double, dark, filled with light, straight, very near to the distal margin, at 
the costal margin inside grey. The margin itself darker. Eyespot with an inside straight hyaline spot, with yellow, 
fine red rings. Hindwing coloured the same. Eyespot large, with yellow, black, pinkrings. 115—125 mm. Cameroon. 
Group III. Subgenus: Thyella Fldr. (Angelica Disc.) 
In the fore wing vein 10 on a short stalk with 7 + 8. vein 9 being present as a short spur. Antennae 
of 9 with almost still shorter pectinations than hitherto. Apex of forewing in the B somewhat produced and 
also in the 9 tapering, wings with coarse scales. Palpi better visible than in the two other groups. 
N. zambesina Wkr. (53 b). Grevish-green with interspersed dark scales. Interior line black, below 
the cell rectangular, somewhat notched, outside edged with white and also at the costal margin with white 
scales as far as the exterior line which is distinctly black, very little undulating, outside broadly washed out 
white. Eyespot small, with a rather large hyaline spot, margined with loam-colour, black, greyish-yellow, 
white. Base and central area claret-coloured and green in a variable proportion. Behind the blackish-white 
exterior line greyish-green. 100—125 mm. East Africa. - ringleri Wichgif. (53 b). Interior line very dentate 
and mostly more distinct, exterior line uniformly undulating. Natal. There are also transitions between the 
two forms, as for instance zanguebarica Obth. in which the exterior line is almost straight, the interior line pointedly 
projecting, and rectilinea Obth. which is almost a normal zambesina. 
N. said Obth. (= barcas M. <£■ IF.) (53 b). Though the species is figured brown, it is according 
to the description as red-brown as bat cm. Marking similar to zambesina . Eyespot of forewing with yellowish- 
brown. black, red. white rings. Hindwing as far as the exterior line dark pink. Eyespot with vellowish-brown. 
black, pink, white rings. 115 130 mm. East Africa.
