The scaling of the specimen has much suffered. It is therefore possible that 

 well-preserved individuals may be somewhat different in colour from the one here 

 described. The enormous tibial spurs and the long first hindtarsal segment are 

 very striking characteristics, by which calcareus will easily be recognised. 



3. Likoma creuata spec. nov. 



tj. Body and wings grey-buff, forecoxa, metauotum and underside of head 

 mummy-brown. Paronychium with two slender lobes on each side. Tongue 

 vestigial. Lines of forewing, above, umber-brown, not sharply marked ; four in 

 proximal half, the interspace between the third and fourth partly filled in with 

 brown, a small stigma on cross-veins ; three lines on disc, the first and third 

 consisting of half-crescents which are open proximally, the second discal line 

 broad, band-like, ill-defined ; a triangular distal marginal patch mummy-brown, 

 widest costally at SC 3 , its proximal edge almost straight ; a small apical dot and 

 a hindmarginal one also murnmy-brown, the latter preceded by a black-brown dot ; 



fringe chestnut. Apex of hindwiug rounded, the fringe white, chestnut at the 



veins, a bar before anal angle chestnut, proximally bordered with white-grey ; an 

 indistinct patch at abdominal margin brown. 



Underside. — Forewing russet in proximal half ; three lines of half-crescents 

 on disc, the central one broader and less distinct than the others, marginal patch 



much paler than above, extended to costal margin, where it is widest. Hindwing 



with three lines between tip of cell and margin, curved like the latter, composed 

 of half-crescents ; anal angle chestnut. 



Tenth tergite broad proximally, prolonged into a slightly spatulate process, 

 which is broader than in Likoma apicalis and pointed ; sternite very broad, 

 emarginate, the angles very strongly rounded. Gasper with small patch of 

 friction-scales which are mostly bidentate, not differing much from the other 

 scales of the clasper except in being smaller and of a brownish tint ; ventral 

 edge of clasper sinuate below apex ; harpe extending to near this sinus, triangular, 

 with a short, obtuse, free tip. Penis-sheath without free apical process, with a 

 rather large patch of small teeth instead. 



Length of forewing : 25 mm.

4. Chromis meeki spec. nov. 



c??. Close to C. keliodes Meyr. (1889). Frons the same colour as occiput 

 and thorax, not paler, and first segment of palpus the same colour as secoud. 

 Underside of body more uniformly testaceous-red. The two subbasal lines of 

 forewing less straight ; hindniargiu narrowly blackish brown. Extreme base of 

 hindwiug black, marginal baud strongly augulate before centre ; no semidetached 

 spot before anal angle. 



The upperside of forewing in fresh specimens of 8 green, in S brown flashed 

 with olive.
