A NEW AFRICAN SATURNIID. 



By W. J. HOLLAND, Ph.D., F. Z. S., etc. 



I have just received a beautiful collection of African Lepidop- 

 tera collected by the late Dr. A. C. Good during the last months 

 of his life in the interior of the Cameroons at Efulen, a mission 

 station founded by him among the Bule tribe, about one hundred 

 and twenty-five miles inland from the Great Batanga. While 

 there are very few diurnal Lepidoptera which have not been 

 hitherto described, there are a number of moths, some of them 

 bred specimens, which are apparently new to science. One of 

 them, reared as Dr. Good tells me from a chrysalis found by him, 

 is a most remarkably beautiful insect, which I am unable to refer 

 to any genus or species catalogued by Kirby or mentioned in the 

 " Zoological Record" since that list was published. I believe it 

 to be new to science, and I take pleasure in dedicating the genus, 

 which I propose to found upon it, to my honored friend, Mr. 

 Andrew Carnegie, whose recent gift of a million of dollars, the 

 income therefrom to be annually expended in the purchase of 

 works of art and collections for the Art Gallery and Museum, 

 which he has founded in the city of Pittsburgh, well entitles him 

 to be regarded as one of the foremost promoters of science in 

 this country.
