Type of the genus: Zeuctoboarmia contortUinea (Warr.) = Aids contort Hi neci 

 Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. 245. 



Here belong, in addition to the species about to be described, the following : 

 simplex Warr., Noe. Zool. v. 247 ; pectinata Warr., op. cit. iv. 97 ; smithi Warr., 

 op. cit. ix. 519 ; possibly also coinoraria Ob., Et. Lep. vii. 292, f. 1715, unknown to

94. Zeuctoboarmia translata sp. nov. 



c?, 42-50 mm. Face dark brown, lower one-third ochreous whitish. Paipns 

 rather short, with very short terminal joint ; ochreous whitish, 2nd-3rd joint dark

 abdomen concolorous with wings. Hindtiliia not dilated. 



Forewing rather broad, termen oblique, curved, slightly waved ; fovea rather 

 small ; colour and markings nearly as in Z. smithi Warr., but less ochracoous, the 

 irroration somewhat denser and darker, postmedian line with longer teeth distally, 



terminal spots more elongate. Hindwlng ample, termen convex, moderately 



crenulate ; marked as in smithi, with corresponding modifications to those of fore-

Underside dirty whitish, with dark discal spot and terminal dashes ; forewing 

 with costa more ochreous, dark-spotted, also with some dark dusting in anterior 

 part (especially in cell), a weak postmedian line in anterior part, and a dark costal

 February 23, 1899 (Dr. Ansorge), in coll. Itothschild. 



Very near smithi Warr., from the (Jongo, venation the same (SU'~- connected 

 with C, sometimes also with S(J^~'), palpus rather less short, pectinations still 

 longer, wings rather broader. 



95. Cleora cnephaea sp. nov. 



c?, 42-50 mm. Build robust. Face with appressed scales ; blackish fuscous. 

 Palpus moderate, rather stout, closely scaled, third joint quite small, deflexed ;

 aj)ical portion nearly simple, ciliated. Vertex and thorax concolorous with wings, 

 tegulae blackened; abdomen dorsally blackened, first segment and anal tuft re-

Forewing not very broad, termen not crennhite ; fovea present ; SC'~- from cell, 

 stalked for about one-half their length ; ochreous with a tinge of reddish, irrorated
