GOODIA. By M. Gaede. 
343 
V. grimmia Geyer (58 b). Larger. On the forewing the 2 projections of the inner hand curved. The 
outer band as in ducalis. The hyaline spot hook-shaped with the point in front, margined with dark orange. 
The hindwing in the basal area white, from the centre of the cell to the anal margin pink. The ring of the 
eyespot dark orange in a sharply defined black area. The marginal spots of both wings more yellow. $ 60 mm. 
Cape Colony. 
2. Group: Goodiicae. 
On the forewing beneath at the base and on the hindwing above with modified scales. Tarsal claws 
serrate. Tarsal spines almost reduced to hairs. 
6. Genus: Gooclla Roll. 
Antennae of $ pectinate almost to the tips, in the $ serrate. Tibial plate in the $ almost or quite absent. 
In the forewing the apex is more produced in the in the $ less produced. Vein 5 above the centre of the 
cross-vein, vein 6 below the upper angle, 7 -(— 8 —{- 10 from the angle, 11 free. In the hindwing the anal angle 
is pointed or rounded. Vein 5 rises far in front. 
Type: nubilata Holl. 
G. nubilata Holl. (= nodulifera Karsch, falcata Aur.) (59 cl). Ochreous-brown. At the costal margin 
of the forewing as far as the exterior line violettish-grey. The lines darker brown, distinct, the inner line 
obliquely outward, removed inwards at the median vein. The outer line with large waves. Behind the inner 
line and before the outer line on the centre a light yellow spot, a larger one at the apex. At the cross-vein 
a narrow hyaline luna. Hindwing at the costal margin and anal angle lighter yellow, the notched outer line 
distinct. No hyaline spot. 65—80 mm. Cameroon, Ogowe. 
G. sentosa Joid. (59 cl). Similar to a faded nubilata, less brown. The exterior line of the fore wing 
less notched. Hindwing mostly unicoloured, only the inner points of the exterior line marked by brown dots. 
70—80 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. Larva greenish-white with clingy green tubercles and brownish- 
black spines, with long white hairs. On Amomum. 
G. oxytela Jord. only differs in the genitals from nubilata. From Uganda, Congo. 
G. lunata Holt. (59 e). A- Forewing with an apex similar to nubilata, not so far produced as in the 
2 following species. As the description of lunata almost exactly corresponds with the following hierax Jord. 
(59 e), we combine both. Ground-colour brownish ochreous, at the costal margin violettish-brown. The interior 
dark brown line from the costal margin obliquely outward, inwardly removed at the median vein, then again 
obliquely outward, obliquer, finer. The fine light lunular line edged with brownish ochreous. Outside its lower 
point a light yellow sj)ot, above it darker brown, below it violettish-brown; the postcellular spot in lunata, 
somewhat less far towards the apex. Costal margin at the apex pale greyish yellow. Before the real dark brown 
marginal line another fine distinct one with long fine sagittae at the veins inwards, the latter in lunata in 
the anterior part more distinct and extending farther inwards. This marginal marking returns also on the 
hindwing. If we were to think a line to be running from the apex of the forewing through the lower angle 
of the cross-vein (at the hyaline spot), it would in lunata run through the centre of the hindwing, in hierax it 
would meet the anal margin of the hindwing near the base. The $ of lunata is probably the form described 
as lunata-obscuripennis in which both wings are intensely lined with dark violettish-brown. The $ of hierax 
shows exactly the colouring of the In both the $ the distal margin is straight, the apex pointed, lunata 
80—100 mm. Ogowe, Congo, Spanish Guinea, hieiax 80—90 mm. Gold Coast, Cameroon, Spanish Guinea, 
Congo. 
G. thia Jord. The is separated from hierax by the genitals, the $ probably belonging to it is 
distinguished by a more pointed apex of the hindwing. Cameroon, Congo. 
G. kuntzei Dew. (— ansorgei Ky., hollandi Btlr., ochraceum Aur.) (59 d). Ground-colour vellowish- 
brown or reddish-brown, the marking of a variable distinctness. Apex of <$ forewing sometimes hardly as 
pointed as in lunata in kuntzei -$ often more pointed. Interior line blackish, notched, very slanting, exterior 
line in large lunular lines similar to lunata. From its beginning at the costal margin across the lower cell- 
angle to y 3 of the inner margin a faded blackish-brown nebulous band, sometimes also red-brown or violettish- 
brown. The cross-vein with a fine hyaline streak, edged with dark. From there to the apex a light red-brown 
or yellowish brown patch. Below the apex at the distal margin narrowly triangular violettish-brown. At 
the centre of the inner margin blackish. Hindwing at the anal margin as far as the cell somewhat darker ochreous 
than the rest. In the <$ a dark discal luna and a fine, slightly waved exterior line are mostly distinct. 55—65 mm. 
South and East Africa. 
G. smithi Holl. (= oriens Hmps., decolor Ae Cerf, uniformis Joan., heptapora Fawc.) (59 c). Similar 
to a small kuntzei in the scheme of markings. Ground-colour varying between a greyish brown and reddish- 
brown. Interior line intensely blackish-brown, notched, vertical. Cross-vein with a blackish-brown streak. 
From the costal margin to the cross-vein and the interior line at the inner margin lighter grey. Exterior line 
uniformly curved in luniform waves. From its apex to the centre of the inner margin a dark nebulous band.
