broad black banrl (abont 3-5 mm.) from just proximall}' to midcosta to tornns, its 

 pro.ximal edge irregularly indented, in the middle very slightly e.^cavated, its 

 distal edge slightly obliqne outwards at costa and at tornal end, and very slightly 

 indented on R', R', and M' ; apex rather broadly and termen narrowly black ; 



fringe black. Hindwing red-orauge, from fold to inner margin concolorons with 



forewing ; a black border from costa near apes, broad at first, narrowed from R^ to 

 behind M', then forming a rather large (2 mm.) torual blotch, with dentate anterior 

 edge ; inner margin narrowly black in distal half 



Under-snrface the same, but both wing.s orange, only the costal margin of the 

 forewing slightly yellower.

119. Terina fulvibasis sp. nov. 



? , 38 mm. Face white, with blackish mark below base of antenna. Palpus 

 black above, white beneath. Vertex black, with a white spot between antennae. 

 Antenna black, extreme base beneath white. Thorax above grey (mixed black and 

 white), beneath dirty white. Legs darkened on upperside. Abdomen dirty white. 



Forewing with costa gently arched, apex rather rounded, termen not very long, 

 rather oblique, curved in anterior part, tornns rather rounded ; white, with costal 

 edge at base and vein SU blackened, the space between fulvous ; a broad black 

 border, its proximal edge arising from the black costa at about 4 mm. from base, at 

 first extremely oblique, not crossing SC till 7 mm. from base, then obliquely curved 

 to a point behind M" within 4 mm. of termen, finally oblique inwards to three-fifths 

 hindmargin ; slight proximal projections from this border along M and M- ; fringe 



black. Hindwing with costa long, apex and anterior part of termen rounded ; 



white, with a black apical patch from costa to across R\ at its widest about 3 mm. ; 

 fringe blackened along most of this patch. 



Forewing beneath nearly as above, the fulvous basal patch suffusedly extended, 



SC not blackened. Hindwing beneath also with fulvous basal suft'usion ; the 



black apical patch not produced. 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, April — June 1910, lesser rains (G. L. Bates). 

 Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Related to doleris PlOtz (Stctt. Ent. Zeit. xli. 82) = aec/rt Swinli. {Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond. 1904, p. 149), but very distinct. It is quite exceptional in this group to 

 find any part of the black borders of the uj)perside not reproduced beneath.

 joint dark. Vertex and antenna blackish. Collar and patagia mixed with grey. 

 Thorax and abdomen yellowish white. 



Wings shaped as in octogesa Druce.- — Forewing yellowish white, slightly 

 yellower proximally than distally, costal edge narrowly black ; a bright orange 

 anterior patch at base, extending about 5 mm. along costa and bounded posteriorly 

 by SC, but with some slighter orange shading also in base of cell ; apical black 

 patch about 10 mm. long at costa, its proximal edge forming alternate shallow
