part ; in tlie type specimen tliere is no sliarp demarcation to the cloaded area, in a 

 paratype it occnpies about the posterior half of the wing from base to median line, 

 broadens a little between this and postmedian, again distally to the postmedian and 

 still again distally to the snbterminal, rnuniug to termen near apex ; blackish costal 

 spots at the beginnings of the three lines ; antemedian strongly oblique from SG to 

 hindmargin near base ; median and postmedian sharply bent ontwards behind SC, 

 then dentate, the median about parallel with termen, the jiostmedian more obliqne 

 and sinnons, approaching it at hindmargin ; cell-mark inconspicuous, proximal to the 

 median line ; snbterminal line ochreons, Innulate-dentate, not conspicuous (in dark 

 specimens mostly covered by the fascous clouding) ; termen and fringe fuscous, 



interrupted by the ground-colour at vein-ends. Hindwing not very broad, termen 



moderately crenulate ; coucolorous with forewiug, mostly, though confusedly, with 

 a pale band remaining proximally to the crenulate postmedian line, also (especially 

 in type) a pale subterminal, thickened at hindmargin. 



Underside similar, the fuscons parts less deep (more shadowy). 



Vivet, S. Nigeria, May 1906 (C. G. Dudgeon), type in coll. Brit. Mus. Para-

Except in shape, very similar to another Nigerian insect which I take to be the

9(1. Cleora spuria sp. nov. 



(J, 40 mm. Face with somewhat projecting scales in lower part. Palpus 

 short, rough-scaled below. Tongue short. Antenna scarcely one-half as long as 

 forewing, with very long pectinations to about the 27th joint (little beyond one- 

 half), apical part nearly simple. Pectus strongly hairy. Femora and tibiae 

 hairy. Abdomen beneath slightly hairy. Head and body tawuy brown mixed 

 with rnst-red, base of abdomen with some whitish admixture abuve. Antennal 

 pectinations black. 



Forewing fairly broad, costa slightly sinuous, termen rather strongly oblique, 

 slightly curved about 11^ straighter anteriorly ; fovea well developed ; SC and 

 SC- free ; dirty white with rather sparse fuscous irroration ; basal area as far as 

 antemedian line, costal to SC and apical to across R' snflfused with tawny and rust- 

 red ; veins also reddened, at least distally ; lines fuscous, not very strong ; ante- 

 median from one-fourth costa to rather beyoud one-fourth hindmargin, very slightly 

 curved, preceded on the rnfoas area by a vague, still less oblique, dark band ; cell- 

 mark black, elongate, slender, angulated ; median shade from costa opposite cell- 

 mark, oblique outward, rather thick, sharply bent behind R', then incurved, 

 becoming fine and indistinct and near jjostmedian ; postmedian from nearly two- 

 thirds costa, slightly sinnons to R-, here bent, then incurved, reaching hindmargin 

 at about three-eighths ; some vague fnscous shading distally to this line about the 

 radials and M', more or less extended to termen about R- ; subterminal white line 

 ill-deiined, irregularly crenulate and sinuous, interrupted from behind R- to M' by 



a large white snbterminal spot ; a terminal line of rather thick black dashes. 



Ilindwing with inner margin long, costa relatively short, termen weakly snb- 

 crenulate ; without the rufous cloudings, except on and contiguous to the veins 

 distally ; antemedian line wanting : a sinuous line at one-tliird, thickened in coll 

 and not reaching either margin ; the rest corresponding to forewing, the subterminal 

 white patch less conspicuous. 



Underside ochreous whitish, almost markingless, the forewing becoming more
