350 NOVITATEfl ZOOLOCICAE XXTl. 191".. 



eloncate, rnnning from median shade into the i)ale band ; postmedian line dark 

 fnscous, fine anterior!}-, maldug a deep curve distad between SO'' and R", thicker 

 and fairl)' straight (rather wavy) from radial fold to hindraargin ; a pale line 

 distally to the postmedian, interrupted at its bend ; a dark costal spot between post- 

 median and termcn, confluent with a second beliind SC^ this again almost confluent 

 with an obliijue dash in the anterior part of the bend of tlie jiostraedian ; variable 

 dark clouding distally to the thickened part of the postmedian, narrowing about M", 

 then widening to tornns, marked between R- and M- by three elongate blackish- 

 fuscons spots, the middle one the largest (in the Ilesha example this one alone 

 developed) ; a conspicuous white snbmarginal spot between SC"' and R', some white 

 dots anteriorly to it ; terminal line strong, more or less interrnj)ted at the veins, 

 thickening between ; fringe with a pale line at base, fnscons spots or clouds at the 



vein-ends. Hhiclwing ample, termen gently crenulate, more markedly from SC 



to R^, bent at R^ ; the markings of forewing continued, except the antemedian ; no 

 anterior bend in the postmedian ; the dark and white discal markings of the costal 

 rei^ion wanting, on the other hand an ill-defined, approximately triangular, pale 

 distal patch developed between W and M-, narrowing to a point at termen just 

 beyond the latter vein ; discal spot free in the pale band, fairly large but not 

 elongate ; fringe whiter than on forewing. 



Forewing beneath with the costal margin more broadly yellowish, the veins 

 and a decided tinge in proximal part of wing also yellowish ; ground-colour white 

 (as in the palest specimens above), similarly marked to upperside, bnt with the 

 distal area uniformly fnscons except for the conspicuous white subapical spot. 

 Hindwing beneath whitish, the fuscous irroration or strignlation densest in basal 

 area and along costa, the distal fnscous band broad, bnt leaving free a vagne whitish 

 subapical patch or scattered spots, a triangular whitish terminal patch as above, and 

 another behind the postmedian line from abdominal margin about to M-. 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 ft., November 1907— March 1908 (dry 

 season). Type in coll. L. B. Pront, with a second from the same locality. Bibianaha, 

 Gold Coast, 70 miles N.W. of Dimkwa, 700 ft., October 12, 1910 (H. G. F. Spurrell); 

 Ilesha, S. Nigeria (L. E. H. Hnmfrey) ; both in coll. Brit, Mus. 



Similar to ostei/tosarhi Miischl. {AM. Sencltenb. Ges. xv. 94) = sii'nnata\^-Axv., 

 {Nov. Zool. vii. 95), bnt without the sienna bands, with the pale central band more 

 conspicuous, etc. From fuscataria Mijschl. {Abh. Senclt. Ges. xv. 94 ; ? —feraliata 

 Guen., sine loc ; = commixta Warr., J!\ov. Zool. iv. 100) it differs in being much 

 more sharply marked, median shade much thicker, postmedian line of forewing 

 more deeply bent snbcostally, cell-spots and white subapical spot larger. 



81. Macaria percnoptera sji. nov. 



(?, 37 mm. Face mixed ochreous-grey and dark fuscous, frontaltuft developed. 

 Palpus moderate, stout, third joint quite small ; dark fuscous, first and part of 

 second joint pale beneath and at extremities. Antennal joints not projecting, 

 ciliation even, not as long as diameter of shaft. Thorax and abdomen above fuscous, 

 beneath (with legs) pale, with dark irroration. Hindtibia dilated, with hair-pencil. 



Forewing with fovea developed ; SC out of C, closely approaching S(J=, con- 

 nected by a minute, slender bar ; apex not very sharp, termen slightly waved, 

 oblique, especially in its posterior half; the entire surface covered with dark purple- 

 fuscons clouding and striation, leaving only slight traces of the whitish ground-
