326 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1015. 



discal dot rather sharp ; median shade indicated by a sli<;ht darkening of the 

 •,'ronnd-colonr, rather broad but ill-defined, excnrved round the cell-dot ; postmediau 

 Hue from almost three-fourths costa, here well marked, but mostly indicated only by 

 dots or small distally-directed teeth on the veins (where discernible between, 

 lunnlate); oblique outwards from SC to R', slightly incurved between radials and 

 between M' and SftP ; termen with black dots or very short strokes between the 



veins. Uindwing witb termen rounded ; antemedian and median shade wanting, 



the rest as on forewing. 



Underside paler, almost marliingless ; postmedian dots faintly indicated in 

 anterior part of forewing ; terminal dots present on both wings, weaker than 

 above. 



Taveta, British East Africa, type c?, December 20, lOiLj, and a ?, January 4, 

 1006 (K. St. A. Rogers), both in coll. Brit. Mus. 



Jlore glossy and L)ithecodes-\\kc than the preceding, which rather recalls 

 an AcidaUa. 



34. Discomiosis (?j crescentifera (Warr.) 



Skrrha crescentifera Warr., Nov. Zool. ix. p. nOi (1902). 



Mr. "Warren overlooked the double areole of this species, which was founded 

 on a single S from Barotse. I suspect it is a dark aberration, but await further 

 material from the same district. Lighter ? ? from Sarnia (Natal) and Pretoria, 

 which 1 believe to be referable to it, have the coloration and aspect of AcidaUa 

 sagittilinfa Warr. (J\'oi'. Zool. iv. p. 219) or of less zigzag-lined Discomiosis 

 aiifractilinea, and agree with the latter in structure except that the hindtibia has 

 all spurs present. 



35. Somatina syneorus sp. nov. 



5 J 40-45 mm. Face black. Palpus black above, pale beneath. Vertex 

 blackish. Collar ochreous brown. Thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Forewiiiij with distal areole very small ; brownish white, with a tinge of pink, 

 whiter costally and distally, very sparingly sprinkled with blackish; lines brown ; 

 antemedian weak at costa, from abont one-third, irregularly dentate, the deepest 

 tooth being in cell, where it approaches the discal dot, the second deepest on SM- 

 (also pointing outwards) ; space between antemedian and median dark-shaded ; 

 discal dot small but sharp ; median line thick, obsolete at costa, angled outwards at 

 K', fairly straight to M', then incurved, reaching hindmargin at scarcely beyond 

 one-half, near the antemedian ; postmedian from costa at about two-thirds, very 

 oblique outwards to behind SC'' (with a slight indentation on SC''), forming a small 

 lobe before and behind U' (indented on the vein), then incurved, then forming 

 a second (M-shaped) projection before and behind M' (larger than that at R') ; 

 a few blackish scales on this line ; a thicker but rather less sharply defined line 

 following it distally, with the projections rather more rounded, the median one 

 more heavily dusted with blackish scales ; a furtlier line close to termen, thickening 

 and slightly receding therefrom anteriorly ; terminal interneural dots in anterior" 



j)art of wing only. Uindwing similar, without first line ; cell-mark more elongate, 



median shade close to it, not angled. 



Under-snrface whitish, almost unmarked ; a dark terminal line, thickening into 

 dots between the veins.
