344 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [December, 



four circular black spots running from the costa to the third median ner- 

 vule. In the inner margin above the outer angle there are two sagittate 

 black spots coalescing with each other. The extremities of the nervules 

 are indicated by narrow black striae, between which there appear some 

 very faint angular lines. The fringes are white, very narrowly checked 

 with black at the middle of the interspaces. The secondaries are marked 

 on the outer border much like the primaries. On the underside the costa 

 and apex of the primaries and the extremities of the nervules on both 

 primaries and secondaries are black; otherwise, the wings are pure white. 

 The front and the abdomen are ochraceous; the antennae have the culmen 

 black, the seta; rufous. The legs are pale ochraceous, with the tarsi 

 black. Expanse 70 mm. 



Hab. Kangwe, West Africa. 



I was first inclined to refer this species to S. sylvia Druce, but 

 a careful study of the description given by Mr. Druce shows 

 marked differences, and Mr. Druce himself assures me, after 

 seeing the type, that it is totally distinct.

Larva of Citheronia splendens Druce. Through an error in determina-

 Citheronia mexicana on page 311. The name should be changed 

 as above. H. G. Dyar and J. Doll.
