1. Hespagarista caudata eburnea subsp. nov. (text-tig. 1, 6) 



(?. Colore eburneo magis extenso distingnemla. 



Hab. Manow, German East Africa, 1 S, received from Messrs. Standinger and 



Bang-Haas. 



The forewing is slightly narrower than in IJ. c. caudata Dew. (IST'J), from 

 Angola, and the posterior antemediau and the snbmarginal spots are larger. The 



creamy-white area of the hindwiug almost reaches to the base, and the black 

 marijina] band is narrower than in true caudata ; moreover, there is no discocellular 

 spot on the hindwing, and only the subcostal vein is distinctly black, the others 

 bein" black at the marginal band, and the median uervure also at the base. 



■-'. Damias amoena rookensis subsp. nov. (text-tig. 'i, i) 

 In Seitz, Grossschm. xi. p. 1:5 (1U12), I treated chalybeata Roths. (1896) and 

 amoena Roths. (1896) as the sexes of one species, because we only had eft? of the 

 one and ? ? of the other. Meek has now sent ns from Rook Island two S S and 



one ¥ which are practically alike, agreeing almost exactly with the S named 

 amoena Roths. (1896). As it is not probable that the $ is dimorphic, I must 

 reverse my opinion and consider amoena and chaUjheata\ distinct in spite ot the 

 absence of any tangible structural differences.
