N'OVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 329 



vanished and SC' is ap|)reciably stalked, thoiigli still i|nite otherwise placed tlian in 

 trne Froblepsis. 



Forcwiiitj with the grey lines less feeble than in ctenophora, an anteiuedian 

 present from M to hindmargin, the median rather more curved posteriorly ; a nearly 

 reniform discal ring placed beyond the middle of the wing, its colour partly light 

 ochreous brown, partly fuscous overlaid with silvery scales, a minute black streak 



I)rojecting distally from it on II- ; fringe tinged with grey in distal half Ilimliciny 



with the discal mark subobsolete, indicated only by a slight ochreous tinge on 



DC-~^ and the irregular silvery element. Forewing beneath with costal margin 



more infuscated. 



Grahamstown. Type in coll. Brit. Mus. received from the Albany Museum. 



40. Aiititrygodes dysmorpha sji. nov. 



(3, 31 mm. Face and palpus bright Ijrown above, white below. Vertex and 

 base of antennal shaft white ; fascicles of cilia moderate, arising from minute teeth. 

 Collar ochreous-tinged. Thorax and abdomen white. Foreleg reddish on inner 

 side. Hiudtibia with the hair-peucil dark-coloured ; tarsus short and slender. 



Forewing with termen waved, appreciably sinuate between SC* and R^ and 

 between M' and SM-, small rounded projections consequently indicated at R^ and M^ ; 

 white, with a few scattered black scales, especially costally and about the lines; 

 costal margin tinged with red-browu ; antemedian line light brown, dotted with 

 black scales, much interrupted and irregular, strongly oblique outward from costa, 

 then oblique inward and strongly sinuous ; a light olivaceous central shade, shaped 

 nearly as in Somatina vestalis Btlr., but with a stronger distal projection between 

 the radials ; containing a double discocellular mark formed of blackish dots against 

 R' and R' ; the costal commencement of a dark median line distally to this shade ; 

 postmedian line arising from a dark spot at about three-fourth costa, indistinct, but 

 marked by dark vein-dots in anterior jiart ; followed distally by an irregular band 

 of light olivaceous blotches, interrupted between the radials ; terminal blackish line 

 continuous, thickened between the veins, especially in each sinus of the wing-margin ; 



fringe mostly white pro.ximally, with Smoky cloudings distally. Hindwing with 



termen waved, roundly toothed at R' and R', sinuate between ; without costal 

 markings or antemedian line, otherwise similar to forewing. 



Under-snrface white, virtually without markings. 



Northern Nigeria ; Kano (F. G. Brown), type in coll. Brit. Mus. ; a worn ? 

 from Zungeru (G. B. Simpson), rather larger, above strongly irrorated throughout 

 with reddish, may be the same or a closely allied species. 



Perhaps nearest to caneiUnea\^aXk. {List Lep. Ins. xxvi. 1752), agreeing in 

 venation, etc., but very distinct ; intermediate in shape between that species and the 

 typical group. Lacks the lateral abdominal tufts by which Turner {Proc. Linn. Soc. 

 N. S. Wales xxxii. 637) distinguishes this genus from Froblepsis, but they fail also 

 in cuneilinea and I think in some other cases. Hampson's differentiation {Faun. 

 Ind. Moths iii. 425) by wing-form gives results which coincide better with the 

 general habitus and pattern of the totality of the known species. Both the authors 

 named fail to distinguish Antitri/godes Warr. from the Neotropical Tri/godes 

 H.-Sch. 



41. Acidalia (Pylarge) anoista sp. nov. 



(?, 21 mm. Face and palitus black. Vertex and antenna bone-colour ; foreleg 

 partly darkened on inner side ; hiudtibia not dilated, the pair of spurs well developed.
