NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 345 



pro.N imad curve beliiud M-; distal area very pale, delicate violet-grey, in its proximal 

 half mostly covered by a black band or series of thick, proximally confluent, wedge- 

 shaped markings, which are small and weak opposite the projection of postmedian 

 line, strong again posteriorly, touching the postmedian line behind M^, but otherwise 

 very narrowly separated from it ; terminal dark line fine, interrupted at the veins ; 



fringe brownish white, very feebly dark-spotted opposite the veins. Hindioing 



similar except at costa, the discal dot smaller. 



Underside with base and costa of forewing more weakly marked, cell-spot 

 nearly as above, postmedian line wanting, the area distally thereto much more 

 uniformly infuscated, becoming paler towards termen of hindwing, especially 

 posteriorly. 



Selukwe, S. Rhodesia, February 1913 (F. W. Short). Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



A very elegant and distinct species. 



70. Zamarada euryscaphes sp. nov. 



?, 31 mm. Similar to Z. batln/scaphes Prout {Eiit. xlv. 196), from Rhodesia, 

 but larger, the antennal pectinations relatively longer, and showing further the 

 following differences : 



Forewing with the discal spot larger and blacker, diamond-shaped ; red areas 

 duller, the distal not traversed by dentate pale subterminal ; distal projection of 

 the ground-colour still deeper and broader, the hinder edge of the anterior red 

 patch not reaching vein R' until the termen, the red at termen reduced to a 

 thick line between R' and M' and a very shallow projection between M' and M-. 



Hindwing with corresponding distinctions, though the cell-dot is not as large 



as on forewing. 



Eritrea : Asmara, October ^(l, 1905 (N. Beccari). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



71. Zamarada ignicosta pyrilampes subsp. nov. 



$ ?, 24-2(3 mm. Ground-colour somewhat less strigulated than in Z. ignicosta 

 ignicosta (Prout, Entom. xlv. 198), from Rhodesia, distal borders qnite different in 

 colour, bright red scales almost entirely suppressing the purple. Thorax also more 

 mixed with bright red above. Costal margin of forewing generally more yellow. 



Marimba, Angola, September 30, 19U3 (Dr. Ansorge). 3 c?(?, 2 ¥ ? in coll. 

 Rothschild. 



This is the " Z. pgi-ocinctn ab. 1 " of Hampson {Proc. Zool. Soc. Land. 1910, 

 p. 470), who overlooked the simple i hindleg ; in true pgrocincla the hindtibia is 

 greatly dilated, with strong hair-tuft, almost as in melpomene Ob. {Et. Lip. vi. 

 t, clii. f. 1401) and others. 



72. Scardamia perobliqua sp. nov. 



c?, 23 mm. General effect of coloration as in metallaria Guen., abdomen with 

 a chain of four or live metallic dorsal crests. Forewing orange, with extremely fine 

 and close reddish (in places purple) transverse strigulation, leaving free clear bright 

 orange bands proximally to the antemedian line, distally to the postmedian and 

 proximally to the terminal ; lines purple, mixed with shining silvery ; ante- 

 median gently curved and exceedingly obliiiue, from costa at 3-5 mm. to hind- 

 margin at 5-5 or 6 mm. ; postmedian commencing still more oblique, rounded
