British East Africa: Kiknyn Escarpment, 6500—9000 ft., March lOul 

 (W. Doherty), type in coll. Rothschild; Nakntn, May 8, 1911 (H. A. Bodeker), 



2 (^J in coll. Brit. Mns. 



100. Nothofidonia bicolor irregularis snbsp. nov. 



c?. Diffors from name-typical N. bicolor, as described above, in having the 

 bhuk markings mnch more irregularly distributed, especially on the hindwing. 



Forewing sometimes purer white ; more or less entirely clear areas in the 

 region of M and the pro.\imal part of M' and between SC= and R' towards termen ; 

 tlie black more or less condensed about SG and anterior part of cell and especially 



in apical region, where one or two solid black patches are sometimes formed. 



Ilinihcing black at extreme base and usnally for a considerable distance between 

 SM- and SM^ also densely black-spotted along distal margin for a width of abont 



3 mm. ; a few dots and spots at costa and sometimes one or two on M and in cell ; 

 otherwise clear yellow. 



? with the wings reduced to minute black vestiges. Coloration nearly as in c?, 

 abdomen mainly black, with narrow yellow belts and yellow anal end. 



Nyassaland: Mlauje Plateau, 6500 ft., November 10-11, 1913 (S. A. Neave), 

 a good series of both sexes in coll. Brit. Mns. The males were flying in abundance, 

 the females were found by searching the grass. 



Variable and often asymmetrical, but the general tendencies constant. 



110. Nothabraxas anamesa sp. nov. 



(J 5^ 43-47 mm. Face yellow. Palpus whitish grey at base, becoming black 

 (variable in extent of the colours). Vertex mostly yellow. Antennal shaft whitish 

 grey, spotted with black. Thorax above and abdomen mostly yellow, the abdomen 

 witli black spots, more or less confluent into belts. Legs whitish grey, spotted 

 with black. 



Forewinif with termen strongly oblique ; whitish, with a slight tinge of 

 ochreous and with two broad, but not strong, streaks of dull ochreons suffusion, one 

 along the cell and radial area, becoming faint and cleft distally, the other along the 

 fold ; a still fainter sufFusiou between the median veins, the surface irregularly 

 covered with large but rarely confluent black dots ; fringe with only a few black 



(lots. Hindwing without the ochreous suffusions, the black dots wanting or 



sparse in proximal part, well developed in distal (variable). Both wings beneath 

 similar, the suff'usions duller and slighter. 



Usanga district, German East Africa, 3500—4500 ft., November 30 and 

 December 4, 1910 (S. A. Neave), 3 <?<?, 1 ? in coll. Brit. Mus. 



Perhaps nearest castas Warr. {Nov. Zool. xi. 471), which has the antennal 

 jiectiuations, as well as shaft, black-spotted, the wings rather less strong and more 

 glossy, whiter, with fine strigulae instead of coarse dots. The longitudinal shades 

 rather recall (except in colonr) roseovittata Bntl. (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1895, 

 p. 741). 



111. Rhodophthitus myriostictus sp. nov. 

 $ ? , 48-60 mm. Head bright ochreous. Palpus (luite short ; ochreous, second 

 joint black on outer side. Antenna black, with extreme base ochreous ; i with 

 pectinations very short (scarcely as long as diameter of shaft), ending in fascicles of
