3S2 NoVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 



British East Africa : Taveta, December 29, 1905 (K. St. A. Rogers) ; between 

 Voi and Ndimii, Jnne 4, 1897 (('. S. Betton) ; both in coll. Brit. Mas., the former 

 the ty[)e. 



83. Macaria natalensis coronoleucas snbsp. ncjv. 



?, 2(5 mm. Slightly smaller than mdulensis natalensis Warr. {Nov. Zool. xi. 

 4T9), forewing above and beneath with a white apical patch between SC^ and SO', 

 nearly twice as long as broad, and a smaller one behind it, snbmavginal, between 

 SC and It' ; terminal line rather weak and interrupted, the bhick marks before 

 and behind R' not very strong. Both wings rather more strongly angled at R^, 

 the lines of forewing slightly more oblique at costa, postraedian sometimes more 

 incurved between M- and SM-. Hindwing beneath more mixed with white. 



Madagascar: Ambinanindrauo, 5o km. W. of Mahanoro, November 1911 

 (G. K. Kestell-L'ornish). Type in coll. Rotiiscliild, coloured like the most ochreous 

 natalensin natalensis. A greyer ? in coll. Brit. Mus. from Ankafana, Betsileo 

 (Rev. Deans Cowan). Perhaps a separate species. 



84. Macaria orthostates sp. nov. 



cJ, 28 mm. Face fuscous. Head, body and legs for the most part concolorous 

 with wings. Palitus about one-and-a-half times as long as diameter of eye. Antenual 

 ciliatiou almost as long as diameter of shaft. 



Forewing not very broad, apex round-pointed, termen almost inappreciably 

 concave in anterior and convex in posterior half; SO' wanting ; fovea not strong ; 

 pale violet-grey, with sparse fuscous irroratiou ; lines deep fuscous ; antemedian 

 oblique, from one-fifth costa to scarcely beyond one-fifth hindmargin, somewhat 

 sinuous, difl'use anteriorly ; median line moderately thick, from before one-half 

 costa, somewhat diffuse anteriorly and a little excnrved so as to reach the cell-spot, 

 straighter posteriorly, fiilling about vertically on hindmargin at scarcely beyond 

 two-fifths; cell-spot strong, black; postmedian line strong, almost as thick as 

 median, very slightly excnrved, from beyond two-thirds costa to before two-thirds 

 hindmargin ; a black mark, as thick as the postmedian, starting on the same 

 between R' and M' and running distad as far as the subterminal ; subterminal line 

 whitish grey, of medium thickness, nearly parallel with termen, slightly inbent 

 between radials ; termen with slight oblique-edged fuscous cloud ending in a point 

 near the apex, which remains of the ground-colour ; fringe weakly dark-chequered. 



Hindwing with termen waved, an appreciable but not conspicuous prominence 



at R'; pale violet-grey with slight fuscous irroratiou; the median line very 

 indistinct, straightish, the postmedian rather more distinct, very slightly curved, 

 both much finer thau on forewing; discal dot small; subterminal line weakly 

 indicated ; no distal dark clouding ; terminal dots and fringe as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath much snifused with ferruginous brown, leaving comparatively 

 free the bands between the lines and an interrupted whitish subterminal ; lines 

 represented by diffuse shades, the antemedian and median broader thau above ; cell- 

 spot present, Hindwing somewhat paler thau forewing, the rust-brown suffusion 

 chiefly expressed on the median shade and a band extending from the postmedian 

 to the subterminal ; cell-spot obsolete. 



Madagascar : Antananarivo (ex coll. (Jhnlliat). Type in coll. L. B. Front. 



Less brown thau obliquilineata Warr. (A'of. Zool. vi. 307), median shade less
