374 NoVlTATtS ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1916. 



with an extended white patch occupying a great part of the wing, leaving a grey 

 area, very strongly mixed with bright blue, along inner margin, a black distal 

 border and ajucal region ; this white patcli is broad at costa (about 5 mm.), still 

 broader at first in cell, somewhat rounded and narrowed off distally, ending about 

 2 mm. from termen. 



Both wings beneath with the same white patches, base mixed with orange, the 

 black of forewing anteriorly and of both wings apically mixed with brown, the blue 

 of hindwing reduced to a very feeble, dull suffusion. 



Uganda: S.E. Budda, Tero Forest, 38U0 ft., September 29-30, 1911 (S. A. 

 Neave). Type in coll. Brit. Mus. 



Intermediate between trifasciata Dewitz &m\/amula Drury. 



123. Pitthea neavei sp. no v. 



d ?, 37-43 mm. Face white, the upper part with a black tuft on each side. 

 Palpus black. Head and antenna black, postorbital rim with a white dot. Thorax 

 black, mixed with orange beneath. Abdomen black, venter orange. 



Forewim/ black, with very slight bluish gloss ; two oblique bands as in 

 continua Walk, but of a light orange colour, not yellow, the postmedian very pale 

 and washed-out, but becoming deep orange at each end, slightly variable in length but 



never quite reaching the wing-margins. Hindwhiy black, with a single band of a 



bright orange-red to vermilion colour, broad at costa (occupying middle one-third or 

 more), narrowing somewhat posteriorly, its hinder end rounded, from R' to behind 

 M', never quite reaching the distal margin. 



Forewing beneath nearly as above, the antemedian band sometimes widened. 

 Hindwing beneath with the red band more orange, its distal boundary as above, but 

 proximally extended to the base and posteriorly (i.e. towards inner margin) to the 

 fold, except in distal one-fourth, where the black ground-colonr encroaches so as to 

 reduce the band to the same width as on upperside. 



Nyassaland : Mount Mlanje, November 1912, February and May 1913 (S. A. 

 Neave), G in coll. Brit. Mus. 



Hylemeridia gen. no\?. 



Head rather small. Face smooth, rounded. Palpus shortish, with moderately 

 appressed scales ; third joint small. Tongne slender. Antenna short, in both sexes 

 bipectiuate nearly to apex, with very long branches. Thorax and abdomen slender, 

 glabrous. Hindtibia not dilated ; all spurs developed. Forewing rather broad, 

 costa slightly arched, apex rather rounded, termen little curved ; fovea present in cJ; 

 cell slightly over one-half ; SC'~- coincident, rather remote from 0, usually stalked 

 with SC'~^, M' rather remote from R'. Hindwing with apex rounded, termen 

 convex, inner margin ratlier long ; cell about one-half, narrowing at end ; C 

 approximated to SC rather shortly near base, SO- well separate from R', R^ wanting, 

 31' rather remote from R'. 



Type of the genus : Hylemeridia, euri/melanotcs sp. nov. 



Differs from Terina in shape, but especially in venation. As I have not seen 

 the types of eiirema Plotz {Stctt. Ent. Zeit. xli. 83) and its synonym (fide Warr. MS.) 

 dexithea Drnce, I make euri/melanotes the type, thougli I consider the accepted 

 determinations correct and the relationship very close.
