276 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 



with the figure in the mesotborax bearing two ronnd black dots on each side in 

 front, as, for instance, in C. extranea Walk. (1869). The head is orange in front 

 of the antennae, and the base of the third abdominal tergite is rather broadly orange 

 and the bases of the following segments narrowly so. In both sexes the base of 

 the costal margin of the forewing is creamy white like the anterior portion of the 

 mesonotnm. 



In the ? the head is black ; the base of the antenna bears some orange scaling; 

 abdomen orange, with a broad dnli black diffuse median stripe, which widens 

 posteriorly, but is here much mixed with orange ; legs deeper black than in <S , and 

 the femora less extended orange. 



Onr specimens came from Bopoto, Congo (Oram coll.). 



7. Casphalia citrimaculata Aariv. (1905) 



The species was described from a single ? from Victoria, Clameroons. The 

 Oxford Museum contains a c? which agrees well with the description, except in 

 some points which may be due to difference of sex. This d was caught by 

 Dr. W. A. Lamborn near Oni, 70 miles east of Lagos, east shore of Lekki Lagoon, 

 Nigeria, 0-100 ft., in a forest with paths and natural clearings. 



Forewing 14 mm. long; hindwing small, with the anal angle produced and 

 the apex subacuminate. About fourteen segments of the antenna with long pecti- 

 nations, scale-hairs at base of antenna orange-ferrnginous. Foretarsus from apex 

 of first segment pale yellow, mixed with some black scaling, particularly on fifth 

 segment ; the other tarsi less extended yellow beyond centre. A rather large 

 orange-yellow lateral spot at base of abdomen extends on to metathorax. Marginal 

 band of hindwing nearly as broad at anal angle as at apex, narrower in between, 

 centre of hindwing slightly transparent. 



Cell of hindwing truncate, stalk of subcostal and first radial half as long as the 

 cell is broad. 



8. Casphalia elong-ata spec. nov. 



?. C. citrimacidatae Auriv. (1005) colore similis, sed pectore abdomineqne 

 nigris unicoloribus. 



Al. ant. long. 20 mm., lat. 7 mm. 



ll((h. Mombasa, British East Africa, October 1905 (F. J. Jackson), 1 ?. 



Body black, collar anteriorly orange, a few orange hairs at the base of the 

 antenna, on palpus, forecoxa, and on the soles of the tarsi. 



Forewing very long and narrow, without traces of hind angle, black like body, 

 with a faint olive-brown tint ; just oatside cell an ovate lemon-yellow patch, which 

 is pointed behind and extends from near costa to beyond R'. Hindwing lemon- 

 yellow, small ; abdominal margin half the length of distal one ; anal angle obtuse, 

 roundedoff, not produced; apex subacuminate ; black marginal band widest at apex, 

 measuring here 3 mm. and only 1 mm. in its jmsterior half; co.stal margin very 

 narrowly black ; a distinct black discocellular spot. 



Netiration : Forewing, subcostals 2 to 5 stalked together, 2 more proximal 



than 5. Hindwing : subcostal and radial 1 in right wing on a very short stalk, 



in left wing separate ; cross-vein between radials 1 and 2 very oblique, the upper 

 cell-angle being much more produced than the lower ; cross-vein D' between 

 radials 2 and 3 angulate ; radial 3 and median 1 near together from lower cell- 

 angle ; median 2 from oiiddle of cell.
