to the margin than to the cell, formed of lunae. On the hindwing only in the $ the median and exterior lines 
are present in the anal-marginal half. Beneath on the forewing the exterior line is farther from the hyaline 
spot than in alinda. The median lunular line joins the spots around the hyaline spot. Pemha 1., East Africa. 
L. sjoestedti Aur. Reddish-yellow. The 3 lines on the forewing are notched, almost parallel, the sjoeslcdti. 
median line touches the hyaline spot outside, or in the $ traverses it yet, similar to a large epityrhena. Distal 
margin somewhat grey. Hindwing with a large, almost quite black hyaline spot, the median and exterior lines 
from the centre of the wing to the anal margin distinct. In the $ the distal margin of both wings is brownish. 
Beneath the inner margin of the fore wing is hardly reddened. The lines and spots of both wings are intense. 
150—180 mm. Cameroon. According to Bouvier, cremeri Obth. is the same species. According to Oberthur’s 
figure we might expect alinda. 
L. tyrrhena Westw. (54 c) is the most intensely marked form. Forewing violettish-brown with an tyrrhena. 
angular interior line and luniform median and exterior lines. Before the interior line and behind the exterior 
line brick-red, the median line often indistinct. Hindwing brick-red with a distinct arcuate exterior line, almost 
continuous, the interior line very slanting, the median line almost absent. Distal margin in both wings lighter, 
greyer. Some specimens also exhibit a more ochreous ground-colour, only at the costal margin of the hindwing 
they are yet reddened. Beneath the two exterior lines are intense, the very dark median spots are large, the 
apical spot of the forewing somewhat less dark. 110—140 mm. West and South Africa. 
L. Cleopatra Aur. (catochra Karsch ) (54 c). <$ on the forewing deep red-brown. Costal margin and cleopatrn. 
interior line little lighter, the others absent, margin not lighter, the hyaline spot large. On the hindwing the 
base, distal margin, and close at it the exterior line coloured as on the forewing, median area lighter yellowish- 
red. Eyespot large. $ reddish-yellow, at the costal margin lighter, similar to tyrrhena with a somewhat 
larger hyaline spot on the forewing. Beneath the deep dark eyespots are almost entirely absent, the two exterior 
lines are very thick, behind the second, particularly on the forewing, large oval dark spots. The apical spot 
on the forewing is dark red-brown. 100—120 mm. Cameroon. 
L. callista Jord. Orange brownish. Apex of the forewing rounded. Costal margin ochreous-yellow. callista. 
Margin 14 to 18 mm broad dark violettish-brown, defined by an arcuate line. Midway as far as the cell a 
similar dark arcuate line, both nearing each other at the inner margin. On the hindwing the distal margin 
is the same, towards the anal angle broader dark. Costal margin less curved and therefore the apex more pointed. 
Beneath ochreous-reddish, the distal margin also broad dark nut-brown. The median lines touch the cellular 
spots. $ 130 mm. Angola. 
L. heyeri Weym. Ground-colour yellowish-red. On the forewing only the rather straight median heyeri. 
line is recognisable, rather uniformly ferbly undulated, y 3 distant from the cell in the direction of the distal 
margin. Hindwing orange-red, without lines. Margin in both wings narrow greyish-violet. Beneath pinkish- 
grey. The discal spots feebly brown. The median line is distinct, on the forewing there are yet traces of an 
exterior line. Inner margin as far as the cell pink. $ 110 mm. East Africa. 
L. cyrene Weym. Similar to heyeri. Forewing reddish-grey, at the distal margin gradually getting cyrene. 
lighter. Inner margin at the base reddish-yellow. Hindwing as far as beyond the centre orange-yellow, with 
a large eyespot. Distal margin 12 mm broad (thus much broader than in heyeri) reddish-grey, at the anal 
margin towards the base tapering. Fringes whitish. The brown basal spots on the hindwing beneath are 
absent, but on the forewing more intense brown discal spots. $ 108 mm. Type in a private collection, 
therefore presumably lost. 105 mm. East Africa. 
L. epithyrena M. 6c W. (irius F. ?). Varying from light violettish-brown to reddish-brown, with epithyrena. 
a slight pink hue on the fore wing. Hyaline spot rather large. Hindwing orange-red. Margin in both wings 
violettish-pink, on the forewing narrow, on the hindwing broader, in the £ more brownish. Above rarel}" on 
the forewing a median line close behind the hyaline spot. Beneath the forewing shows an orange-red hue above 
the inner margin. At the hyaline spots feeble brown spots. The median lines, of both wings touch the hyaline 
spot outside. These lines as well as the exterior lines and an apical spot on the forewing only feeble. 110—135 mm.

is probably identical with epithyrena. — redlichi Weym. differs in the absence of all the dark brown spots on redlichi. 
the hindwing beneath; only on the forewing there are 2 dark brown discal spots, whereby it is distinguished 
from inornata. The median and exterior lines, however, are feebly present on both wings. It has probably 
been an aberrative specimen of epithyrena. $ 120 mm. Angola. — inornata South, also differs only beneath, inornata. 
On the forewing there are only traces of the exterior line, at the hyaline spot no brown spots. On the hindwing, 
however, the hyaline spot is surrounded by 3 brown spots of different sizes, and both the lines are absent. $ 
140 mm. Zanzibar. — patlens South. (55 a). Apex of forewing somewhat roundish. On the hindwing above pattens. 
the violettish-pink hue is also at the anal margin. Beneath the hyaline spot of the fore wing is surrounded by 
2 pale brown spots, only the exterior line is present, also on the hindwing, where the hyaline spot is not margined. 
S 120 mm. Tanganyika. meloni Obth. (55 a) differs somewhat more and might therefore be a distinct species, metoni. 
Most of the specimens are more or less liued with pink. Above on the fore wing an interior line is recognisable 
of a shape similar to that in alinda. A median line touching the hyaline spot outside is rarely visible, the feeble 
extei’ior line is a little nearer to the hyaline spot than to the distal margin. The enclosed discal area is
