NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 333 



near apex to R^ theu faint and bending to terraeu, which it reaches at M' ; fringe 

 as on forewing. 



Underside white, unmarked, co.stal edge slightly infiiscated. 



Entebbe, 1905 (E. A. Minchin). Type in coll. Brit. Mns. Near Lagos : in 

 forest half a mile from Oni camp, December 4, 1010 (dry season), 1 c? ; in forest 

 about a mile east of Oni, August 18, 1911 (wet season), 1 ? ; both in coll. Oxford 

 Mus., collected by Dr. W. A. Lamborn. 



48. Acidalia beccarii sp. nov. 



?,27 mm. Face and palpus black, the latter pale-mixed beneath. Vertex 

 white ; occiput narrowly blackish ; collar also darkened. Antenna slender. Thorax 

 and abdomen dirty white, irrorated, especially above, with fuscous, the abdomen 

 showing the same weakly banded appearance as in the allies. 



Forewing dirty white with a slight tinge of ochreous-brownish and with fine 

 blackish-fuscous irroration ; markings as in marginepunctatt, Goeze, the median 

 shade rather less thickened than is usual in that species, the pale subterminal 

 rather less expanded between the radials, its dark proximal spots strong and 

 well differentiated, that nearest the costa not weaker than the succeeding one, 



the terminal dark dashes longer. Hindwing with termen almost entire and 



not very strongly convex ; marked as forewing, without the first line. 



Underside weakly marked, about as mfihulata Guen, 



Eritrea: Asmara, October 17 and 28, 190.5 (N. Beccari), 2 ? ?, the latter the 

 type, in coll. Rothschild. 



This is probably the " Craspcdia fibulatii " which de Joaunis {Bull. Soc. Ent. 

 Ital. xliv. p. 136) records from the same country. Very similar to large examples 

 of that species or its closest allies, but especially to mar gine punctata Goeze ; differs 

 from all in the slightly narrower forewing, with rather more oblique termen, 

 less convex hindwing (less crenulate than in nigrinotata Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. p. 52), 

 less thick median shade, less expanded radial spot of subterminal, longer terminal 

 dashes, etc. ; from the hitherto described Indian and Aethiopiau species in having 

 the median shade less bent anteriorly, reaching the costa distally to, not opposite, 

 the cell-dot. The lines do not spring from enlarged costal spots, the discal dots are 

 on an average smaller than in the allies ; the forewing beneath is not (as in 

 7narginepunctata, etc.) suffused with glossy fuscescent. 



49. Glossotrophia natalensis sp. nov. 



(?, 26 mm. Face and upperside of palpus black. Antennal joints projecting, 

 the fascicles of cilia rather long. Vertex dirty whitish with a tinge of ochreons. 

 ( 'ollar dark fuscous. Thorax and abdomen dirty whitish, coarsely irrorated above 

 with dark fuscous ; abdomen with one or two dark dorsal spots near base. Legs 

 l)ale. Hindtibia long and slender, with both terminal spurs present, the outer the 

 longer ; tarsus well developed, nearly two-thirds tibia. 



Forewing relatively rather narrow, the termen being strongly oblique ; dirty 

 whitish, thickly and coarsely irrorated with fuscous ; line fuscous, distinct ; ante- 

 median from a slightly enlarged spot at costa, strongly angled outwards in and 

 again behind cell (the points of the angles somewhat thickened), inwards at 

 M, oblique inwards from second outward angle, but again, though more sliglitly, 

 angled close to hindmargin, which it reaches at rather beyond one-fourth ; discal
