NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 327 



Anda, Lake Azingo, Gaboon, December 4, 1907 (type); Abanga River, Gaboon, 

 October 1907 ; both in coll. Rothschild (from Dr. Ansorge). Bitje, Ja River, 

 Cameroons, one in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Evidently near chah/beata Walk. (2V. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glasg. i. p. 375), as 

 is shown by the form of the postmedian lines, bnt broader-winged, less dark- 

 marked, and with median line qnite diiferently-shaped distally ; shape and coloration 

 strongly suggest anthophilata Guen. 



36. Somatina lia sp. nov. 



? , 32 mm. Head and upperside of palpas dnll dark red, palpus beneath 

 pale. Antennal shaft pale flesh-colour, at base dark red. Collar ochreous. 

 Front of thorax paler ochreous, then whitish, then flesh-colour. Abdomen flesh- 

 colour. 



Forewing with apex acute, very minutely produced ; R- from scarcely before 

 middle of DC ; flesh-colour, with costal margin whitish ochreous, the extreme 

 edge less whitish; lines slender, yellowish white, nearly straight; first from 

 bej^oud one-third eosta to three-eighths hindmargin ; second from before two- 

 thirds costa to five-eighths hindmargin ; third from eosta midway between second 

 and termen, almost inappreciably curved outward in the middle, virtually parallel 

 with second throughout; an indistinct, acutely dentate subterminal, its points 

 nearly reaching third line at the veins and termen between them ; a black dot 

 behind SC^ close to termen ; discal mark scarcely difterentiated, appearing slightly 



raised ; terminal line fine, scarcely darkened. Hindwing similar, without first 



line, the third slightly more excurved ia middle, no subapical black dot. 



Underside paler, with the lines slightly indicated. 



Anjonan Island, Comoro Islands, June 27, 1911 (G. F. Leigh). Type in 

 coll. Rothschild. 



Rather rubbed, but so strikingly distinct from all known species as to be quite 

 unmistakable. 



37. Somatina apicipuncta sp. nov. 



? , 33 mm Face blackish in upper half, white in lower. Palpus dark above, 

 white beneath. Vertex and base of antenna blackish. Collar ochreous. Thorax 

 and abdomen dirty white. 



Forewing dirty white (white with very fine fuscescent irroration), costal edge 

 narrowly ochreous ; lines greyish, extremely faint ; no antemedian ; median from 

 just beyond middle of hindmargin, straight, obsolete anteriorly ; postmedian and 

 two subterminal slightly thicker, faintly wavy, scarcely defined ; a conspicuous 

 black dot behind SC* close to termen ; terminal line fine, ochreous, continued 



round apex. Hindwing similar, without ochreous costal edge or black 



apical dot. 



Both wings beneath dirty white, unmarked. 



Gambaga, Gold Coast (Dr. Bury). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Closely related to accraria Swinh. {Tr. Ent. Soc. Land. 1904, p. 564); fore- 

 wing with DC shorter, SC^ arising from cell (exceptional in this genus ; in accraria 

 normal), termen of both wings smoother, with less dark shading, forewing with only 

 two black terminal dots (before and behind SC*), the anterior, on the other hand, 

 enlarged, median line of both wings fine and straight.
