304 NoVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 



auastomosing at a poiut with SC'"*; i)ale ochreons brown, closely irroiated with 

 reJ-brown and more sparsely and irregnlarly with fiiscoas ; base of costa spotted 

 with dark i'uscous ; lines blackish ; antemedian from before one-third costa, 

 strongly excnrved in cell, less carved (nearly parallel with termen) from M to 

 SM-, then oblique basewards ; preceded by a reddish brown shade, at least 

 posteriorly; median shade ill-defined, from a costal spot between the lines, lunulate- 

 dentate, in posterior half nearer to postmedian than to antemedian ; postmedian 

 thickened into spots or dashes on the veins ; from towards three-fourths costa, 

 oblique inwards at origin, excurved from SC*, strongly incurved from R^ to M^, 

 then nearly vertical to hindmargin ; accompanied distally by red-brown shading, 

 especially in posterior half ; a red-brown shade between the radials, reaching 

 termen ; terminal line black, thickened between and more or less interrupted at the 



veins. Hindwing with termen much less deeply crennlate than iu the type ; 



concolorons with forewing, rather more mixed with fuscous from base to the weakly 

 defined median shade than beyond ; a postmedian line formed almost as in Synopsia 

 sociara Hbn., but rather slighter ; an ill-defined red-brown subterminal shade ; 

 terminal line as on forewing. 



Under-surface dnll whitish ochreons, the forewing more or less strongly 

 irrorated or clouded as far as the postmedian line, tlio distal area and the whole of 

 hindwing with only very slight irroration ; discal dots present— at least on hind- 

 wing ; postmedian line represented by vein-dots or small dashes ; terminal line 

 much weaker than above. 



Eritrea: Caraiai, November 21, 1905 (N. Beccari). Type i and a more weakly 

 marked ? in coll. Rothschild ; the latter with the lines of the forewing less deeply 

 curved. 



Differs from both the Palaearctic species in its mnch smaller size, brighter 

 colour, etc. ; and slightly in the venation. 



103. Ectropis anisa sp. nov. 



c?, 34 mm. Face with appressed scales. Palpus rather short. Anteunal 

 ciliation about as long as diameter of shaft. Head, body and legs whitish ochreous- 

 brown ; foreleg with femur and tibia infuscated on inner side, tarsns more slightly 

 so, with pale spots. Hindtibia not dilated. 



Forewing with termen rather strongly bowed, not crennlate, SC'~' coincident, 

 arising from stalk of SC^~', anastomosing strongly with C ; white, tinged with pale 

 ochreous-brownish, with rather sparse irroration; lines brownish, crennlate; a pair 

 of antemedian rather near base, rather obliqne outward from costa, angled behind 

 SO ; median line weak, arising on costa opposite the discal spot, very strongly 

 oblique outward anteriorly, angled about R', thence parallel with and not very far 

 from the postmedian ; postmedian double, somewhat bent about R', thence parallel 

 with termen, at a distance of about 4 mm. ; subterminal line marked with dark 

 interneural spots, interrupted between W and M', the spots between the radials and 

 behind M' the largest ; discal spot large, roand, blackish, cut by a pale, somewhat 



bracket-shaped mark on DC ; termen with large black dots between the veins. 



Hindwing with termen only very feebly snbcrenulate, a scarcely appreciably stronger 

 tooth at R'; white, on the inner-margin with'cnrved beginnings of postmedian and 

 subterminal line ; the latter sometimes interruptedly traceable throughout ; terminal 

 dots present, strongest posteriorly.
