area below the cell in such a manner as to rudely suggest the outline of 

 a dog's head, a style of marking well known in the genus Co/ias. The 

 secondaries are broadly black at the outer angle, the border growing 

 rapidly narrower toward the extremity of the second submedian, then 

 widening before the anal angle, which is marked by a black spot sepa- 

 rated by a white line from the remainder of the border; the underside is 

 as the upperside. The female is marked like the male, but larger. Ex- 

 panse: cf, 33 mm.; ?, 38 mm. 



This species is represented in my collection by specimens from 

 the Upper Ogove and Old Calabar. 



HYLEMERA Butl. 



5. H. tenera sp. nov. <j\ Antennse blackish; front, collar and upperside 

 of abdomen orange. Body and legs whitish; the wings, which are semi- 

 diaphanous, are white on the basal half and black on the apical half, the 

 inner edge of the black area being divided by a curved line running from 

 before the middle of the costa to a point on the inner margin one-quarter 

 of the distance from the other angle; the secondaries are narrowly tipped 

 with black at the outer angle. Expanse 32 mm. 



6. H. indentata sp. nov. . Body luteous; antennae black. Wings 

 white, very narrowly margined on the costa near the base with black, 

 with the outer half broadly black, the inner margin of the black area 

 being produced inwardly at the origin of the second median nervule; the 

 secondaries are narrowly bordered with black from the end of the costa 

 to the middle of the outer margin; the underside is as the upperside. 

 .Expanse 40 mm.

 GEODENA Walk. 



7. G. absimilis sp. nov. <j\ Antennas yellow, with the pectinations 

 black. Head and thorax bright orange. Abdomen pale orange, clouded 

 with grayish near the thorax on the upperside; underside of thorax and 

 abdomen orange-yellow. Legs of the same color margined with gray; 

 the wings are white, with a large, round discal dot at the end of the cell; 

 the primaries are heavily margined with blackish, the black border ex- 

 tending from the costa two-thirds of the distance from the base to the 

 inner angle. Expanse 38 mm. 



This species is quite distinct in general appearance from G. 

 quadriguttata Walk., with the type ol which I have compared it. 



8. G. dama sp. nov. <j". Antenna; black; front orange; the uppt-rside 

 -of the thorax and abdomen are grayish fawn; the lowersicle of the thorax 

 and abdomen are orange; the tip of the abdomen is dark brown. Legs 

 fawn colored; the primaries are grayish lawn throughout with an oval dot
