the costal margin a light spot. The hyaline spot formed of 2 mostly united hooks. Base and costal margin 
of hindwing mostly pinkish-brown. The semicircular hyaline spot with a dark orange ring. Median band dark 
red-brown, its white edge encloses the hyaline spot in front semicircularly. Marginal area olive brown. 
60—70 mm. East Africa. Larva orange with black rings and tubercles.

Shape of wings also similar to Holocera, the anal angle of the hindwing somewhat less extended. In the 
forewing veins 8 + 9 are entirely fused. Antennae of and $ almost equally pectinate as far as % of their length.

costal margin S-shaped to the inner angle. Hyaline spot formed of 2 triangles united in the <+ in the $ formed 
of 3 small spots in one row. In the <$ the forewing is dark olive brown, the band darker. In the $ a costal- 
marginal triangle and the distal area light olive brown. Hindwing at the costal margin dark red, the median 
band of the $ as in suavis, but only outside edged with white. In the £ the band almost extends to the 
distal margin, without a white edge. The rest olive brown. 40—65 mm. Spanish Guinea.

the forewing greyish-yellow. The base below the cel 1 blackish. Median band the same, its inner edge projecting 
on the median vein towards the base. The outer border incurved at the costal margin, notched throughout. 
Hyaline spot r-shaped. Marginal area yellowish-brown with indistinct black spots. Hindwing also at the anal 
margin yet somewhat red. The yellow ring is rather small, inside with a black luna. The dark median band 
outside edged with light, behind it black spots as on the forewing. 35—60 mm. South-West Africa. 
L. arguta Jord. Both wings uniformly dentate. Basal and marginal areas greyish-brown, the broad arguta. 
median area olive brown. The inner border dark, inside edged with light, undulating, the outer border white, 
forming large waves, incurved at the costal margin. Hyaline spot r-shaped. On the hindwing similar to dele¬ 
gorguei. The yellow ring of the eyespot with a white spot. The outer border of the band white, extending to 
the costal margin. In the typical form arguta. from the Somaliland the median band of the forewing is dusted 
with grey, the marginal area hardly brownish, in front of it the outer border-line less wavy. 42 mm. Somaliland.

its dark-edged inside below the costal margin somewhat, below the cell more strongly introangular. The curved 
white exterior edge of this band at the costal margin more incurved. The space from the bend to the apex 
dusted with white. Distal area dark greenish-brown, beneath at vein 2 broad white. On the hindwing the yellow 
eyespot-ring without a white spot. In the £ the hindwing is rather much extended at the anal angle. The 
border of the black median band is yellowish, very near to the distal margin. 56—60 mm. East Africa. 
L. hansali Fldr. (59 a). The dark median area does not contrast so much with the rest of the forewing, hansali. 
Its inner border forms 2 bows with the apex on the median vein, the outer light border slightly incurved at 
the costal margin, from vein 5 almost straight to the inner margin. — In eximia Bothsch. (= tanganyikae eximia. 
Strd.) (59 a) it is slightly excurved above the inner margin. On the hindwing the marginal area is narrower. — In

Colour somewhat variable. Forewing of with a strongly produced aj)ex, varying between light yellowish- 
brown and cinnamon-brown. The outer border of the median area from vein 6 to the costal margin incurved, 
at the inner margin from vein 2 excurved. Median area darker red-brown, the inner border almost straight, 
only at the median vein angular towards the base. Basal area behind somewhat lighter than the median area, 
in front still lighter, rather distinctly separated. On the hindwing the red costal margin almost penetrates 
to the apex. The yellow ring of the eyespot is relatively large. In the $ the basal area in the anterior half, the 
median area narrowly at the costal margin, and the space behind this band are dull grey. An apical triangle 
also dull grey. The border of the median band extends outside straight at the inner margin, not excurved. 
On the hindwing the red costal margin does not extend to the apex. The yellow ring of the eyespot in the $ 
and $ with a white spot. 45—65 mm. South and East Africa. — Larva greenish-white with black oblong 
spots. The long hairs are white, the short ones and the spines coloured according to their position. The pale 
spines mostly with black tips. — vetusta Strd. (59 b), particularly conspicuous in the <$, with the light brown vetasta.

anal angle, and between them notched. The lighter brown costal margin extends from the base to beyond 
the hyaline spot. In the brownish ochreous margin narrow black streaks besides. On the hindwing the ring
