NOVITATES ZOOLTJQICAE XXII. 1915. 285 



distally, abdominal margin linff, distal margin somewhat convex in centre, cell 

 shorter than lower radial. 



Underside pale ochraceous bull', more buff than ochraceous, proximal half of 

 forewing and abdominal margin of hindwing cinnamon-rnfous, distal marginal 

 area of forewini; sliaded with gre}' and fnscons, bordered by tlie very distinct 

 obliqne apical streak, apex with a fnscons costal clnnd, both wings with two discal 

 abbreviated lines. 



? similar to c?, markings of forewing above less distinct, probably owing to 

 the inferior state of preservation of the specimen, outer margins of wings more 

 convex, npperside of hindwing and the red colouring of the underside brighter 

 rnfous ; rest of underside duller than in S, hindwing dirty pinkish bnfl', like 

 underside of abdomen, the two discal linos nearly straight instead of being curved 

 costally as in (?. 



(jenitalia similar to those of bicolor. In c? the lobes of tenth tergite with 

 the tip truncate, tenth stcrnite almost evenly rounded, lieing longest in the centre. 

 Outline and armature of clasper as in hieolor, except that the apex of the harpe 



is less curved. In ? both processes of the seventh sternite sharply pointed, 



the left process much broader than the one of the right side, but of about the 

 same length. 



4. Libyoclanis vicina spec nov. 



c??. /^. /Ji(W('to Roths. (1907) similis, sed alis angustioribus, posticis margine 

 exteriore parum coucavo, antennis tenuioribus, segmento anali ventrali maris 

 angusto rectangulatim truncate distingnenda. 



Al. ant. long. : S 35 mm., ? 39 mm. 

 „ ,, lat. : S 12 mm., ? 13'5 mm. 



Hab. Cross R., Lower Niger (F. C. Martell), 1 i (type), and Luluabnrg, 

 Congo, 1 ? . 



Antennae as in L. major, whereas in the S of punctum (the ? is not yet 

 known) each segment is laterally widened above the groove and ventrally incurved 

 in the centre, the antennae of punctum being also longer and thicker. The shajie 

 of the wings is different, the wings of vicina being much narrower ; cell in fore- 

 wing distinctly, in hindwing a little longer than lower radial vein ; distal margin 

 of forewing longer and less convex than in punctum, the forewing also obviously 

 narrower ; distal margin of hindwing slightly but visibly incurved from apex to 

 anal angle, not convex as in jiunctum. 



Head, thorax, and base of abdomen above tawny in S, tawny-olive in ?, tlie 

 colouring in punctum being more huffish clay. Forewing rufescent claj'-colonr, 

 with transverse Hues similar to tliose of L. major, a double one in proximal half 

 and three in outer half, the lines much darker and much more distinct in S than 

 in ?, oblique apical streak to below second radial, marginal area shaded with 

 fuscous and grey, subapical black-brown spot larger than in punctum. Hind- 

 wing bright cinnamon-rnfous, abdominal margin buff, as in the other species a 

 diffuse fuscous marginal cloud in front of anal angle. 



On underside the proximal half of forewing and abdominal margin of hind- 

 wing bright cinnamon-rnfous, less pink than in punctum, rest of wings buffisli 

 clay, two abbreviated discal lines on both wings and a prominent apical ob!i(]ue 

 streak on forewing. 



Genitalia : S, lobes of tenth tergite much narrower than in punctum, rotundate-
