N. oenopion Hbn. (= aenopion Btlr.). Median area of forewing very broad, distally straightly defined, oenopion. 
with or without a stigma. Discal band in the nominate race broad, towards the margin hardly whitish, the 
dark transverse line in it divides the band into a broader proximal and a narrower distal portion. Madagascar, 
Mauritius, Bourbon. — In stictica R. & J. there is a small white stigma-dot. Comoro Is. — The continental stictica. 
race continentis R. & J. (65 b) is somewhat smaller, the discal band is divided into 2 equal halves by the line, conlinentis. 
also at the distal margin whitish. Hitherto only known from West Africa. 
N. rosae Btlr. (65 b). The dark median area of the forewing is narrower, dusted with white only rosac. 
at its distal edge, always narrowed in front; forewing with rich dark green markings, marginal area olive grey, 
stigma composed of a hook with a short anterior branch and sometimes a dot above it. West Africa. — In 
the form (or race ?) destigmata StrcL, from Spanish Guinea, the stigma is absent. — The East-African race destigmata. 
illustris Jord. shows a broader, in front not narrowed white discal band of the forewing. illustris. 
N. rectangulata Rothsch. is easily recognizable by the white oblique median and similar submarginal rectangu- 
stripes meeting at the inner margin in a right angle. Sierra Leone. 
b) The following species without dark spots on the abdomen. 
N. aequivalens Wlcr. (= zebu B.sdv.) (65 c). The white stripes of rectangulata are here darker than the aequivalens 
ground-colour. Abdomen without dark spots. West and East Africa. 
N. vespera Fawc. (65 c). In the habitus similar to funebris maculosa, separated from the latter and vespera. 
nearly all the other species by the unicoloured olive brownish abdomen without any dark spots or bands. Kedai, 
East Africa. 
N. leighi Joic. & Talb. Abdomen without dark spots, fore wing in the basal lower portion dark greenish leighi. 
ochreous; a slanting dark brown discal band, rather indistinct, a similar jDostdiscal band, in front broader, 
on vein 3 somewhat angular, a feeble irregular postdiscal line. Submarginal line indistinct, defining a darker 
marginal area which is divided by another line into a darker proximal and a lighter distal portion. Hindwing 
dark greenish olive, marginal area posteriorly narrowed darker. Expanse: 82 mm. Seychelles. 
N. xylina R. & J. Body Isabel-coloured, beneath paler. Forewing Isabel-coloured; stigma small, round, xylina. 
white; basally to it three blackish lines curved at the costal margin; beyond the stigma 2 more transverse lines, 
posteriorly convergent, in front distally bent. From the latter towards the margin a dentate line, posteriorly 
nearing the preceding ones; a submarginal line is bent towards the base. Hindwing coloured as forewing, but 
at the margin blackish-brown, fringes creamy with small indistinct dark dots. Expanse: 66 mm. Abyssinia. 
38. Genus: Temuora Hbn. (Diodosida Hbn., Lophuron Bsdv., Ocyton Bsdv., Aspledon Bsdv., Eulo- 
phura Holl.). 
At once discernible from the allied Kephele by the spurs of the middle tibiae not showing any row of 
spikes. Confined to Africa und Madagascar. 
T. livida Holl. (65 c). Forewing bluish-grey, with darker clouding on the centre of the costal margin livida. 
(as the beginning of a slanting transverse band which sometimes runs through to the margin) and before the 
apex, a submarginal row of dots, and a brown inner-marginal spot before the tornus. Apex produced, margin 
below it concave, then convex. Hindwing blackish, at the tornus bluish-grey, at the costal margin ochreous. 
Fringes of forewings beneath unicoloured dark. West Africa. 
T. griseata R. <£■ J. (65 c). Body and wings more brownish-grey, the contours of the forewing as in griseata. 
livida, the spot and the centre of the costal margin more indistinct, fringes also beneath spotted light and dark. 
Hindwing more unicoloured. Congo. 
T. aureata Karsch (= brevipennis Rothsch.) (65 c). Abdomen with subdorsal and lateral gold spots, aureata. 
Forewing violettish-brown, with 3 antemedian and 3 discal transverse lines, a double submarginal line and a 
black median shadow. Hindwing blackish-brown, anal margin red-brown, sometimes continued to the forewing 
as a discal nebulous band. Cameroon, East Africa, Uganda. 
T. radiata Karsch (65 d) is an easily recognizable species, the brown forewing with white undulating radiata. 
lines and a long white basal ray; hindwing also with a whitish transverse line. Very rare; except the type no 
more species has been found. Togo, Bismarckburg. 
T. inornata Rothsch. (65 d). Ground-colour of forewing light pinkish-grey, with dark brown markings; inomata. 
hindwing brownish-red with a black margin. South Africa.
