N. tyrrhea Cr. (54 b). Greenish greyish-brown. Interior line white, very strongly notched, exterior tgrrhea. 
line thick, black, luniformly notched, inside little, outside broadly edged with white. Eyespot often with a 
rather large hyaline spot, with olive brown, black, olive yellow, white rings. On the hindwing the interior line 
is more faded. Costal margin more or less pink. Eyespot as on forewing, larger. 95—120 mm. South Africa. 
— In specimens from the Kilimanjaro the interior line of the forewing is excurved at the median vein and below 
vein 2, not notched, on the hindwing the exterior blackish band is broader, its inner white edge often feeble: hoelnwli.

5. Genus: Pack. 
Apex of forewing in the tapering, mostly far produced, in the $ also rather tapering, but little produced. 
Veins 5 and 6 not distantly separated, 10 free, veins 7 + 8 stalked, 9 and 1 I absent. 
Type, phaedusa Drury. It is really but a subordinate genus of Nvdaurelia, though it differs rather 
much in the scheme of markings. 
phaedusa-group. 
Antennae of $ with short pectinations. In the forewing a hyaline spot of a variable size, sometimes 
with an eyespot. From the costal margin near the apex to % inner-margin an almost straight dark line. On 
the hindwing the large eyespot is surrounded by a halo of a variable size. Hyaline spot punctiform. 
L. saturnus F. Ochreous-brown. Apical line dark brown, in front outside of it white dusting. The salumus. 
eyespot on the hindwing is black, red, white, surrounded by a violettish-black halo. A dark exterior line is 
indicated. Beneath on the forewing a black, red, white eyespot. On the hindwing only a brown line from the 
apex to the centre of the anal margin. $ 170 mm. Angola. According to Prof. Auim ilt ius this is not Fabriclits" 
species, the name was therefore changed to weymeri Aur. 
L. tanganicae South. In the colour and eyespot-marking above similar to saturnus. A median band tanganicac. 
which in the latter is indistinctly traceable in front on the fore wing, is entirely absent here. Beneath the eyespot 
of the foiewing is formed by 2 separate black semicircles with a violet margin. $ 170 mm. The specimen 
figured by Sonthonnax shows the apex cut off, but that is presumably only an exception 
L. phaedusa Drury (= thomsoni Ky., laestrvgon Mab.) (53 c). Light ochreous brown varying to phaedusa. 
violettish-brown. On the forewing an indistinct dark interior and median band. The interior band is oblique, 
somewhat angular, the other traversing the hyaline spot, both outside at the costal margin dusted with white 
in a variable intensity, also below the apex. The eyespot of the hindwing is as in saturnus, but in a dark red 
halo. Beneath on the forewing a smaller eyespot , on the hindwing one formed of large spots, lighter or darker 
greenish-brown. Besides a similar basal spot. 160—180 mm. Sierra Leone, Togo, Cameroon, Congo. 
L. ammon Karsch. Similar to a light phaedusa. The apical line ist outside edged with white, the amnion. 
median band is mostly not recognisable. On the hindwing the red halo is but narrow. Beneath on the forewing 
a long extended eyespot with black, narrow red and white rings. On the hindwing no eyespot. ^ J 50- 160 mm. 
East Africa. — phaedusa-orienti s Le Cert is probably the $ of it. 
L. cliristyi Sharpe. Similar to phaedusa, but of not such variable colours, greyish-brown. On the chrMyi. 
forewing above also a large black, red, white eyespot. Beneath greyer, otherwise not different from phaedusa. 
150—170 mm. Togo, Niger, Tanganyika. 
L. phaeax Jord. Chiefly separated from christy i by the shorter antennal pectinations. Apical line phaeax. 
more incurved. Gold Coast. 
L. laurae Strd. Eyespot-marking above and beneath exactly as in phaedusa. On the forewing an laura-e. 
interior and median line not visible. Ground-colour deep dark reddish-brown. 150 mm. Spanish Guinea. 
It may be a small dark local form of phaedusa. 
L. acetes Westio. (53 a). Forewing yellowish ochreous or reddish ochreous. The interior dark line acctea. 
is strongly notched. The apical line is situate far outside, behind it fadedly lighter. The hyaline spot in the 
A small, in the Q large, inside straightly cut off, with a narrow dark faded edge. Hindwing more or less pink. 
Hyaline spot as on fore wing, with greenish-brown, black, dingy yellowish-white rings. Exterior line almost 
straight. 120—140 mm. Sierra Leone, Cameroon. 
L. melanoneura Rothsch. Ground-colour darker ochreous. The marginal area on the forewing narrower, mclanoncu- 
ahove and beneath smoky brown. The veins, beginning from the centre of the wing, are black. Antennae of ra -
