JJOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXII. 1915. 341 



Nearest the dark-marked aberratious of urbica Swiiih., from India, difteriug in 

 the fuscous irroratiou beneath, etc.. From pleniiiotuta Warr. {Nov. Zool. viii. 15), 

 the nearest West Afiicau species, it differs in the dark markings and the form of the 

 median and postmedian lines. 



01. Heterostegane circumrubrata sp. nov. 



(J, 22 mm. Head and body concolorous with wings, the face, palpus, antennal 

 sliaft and foreco.xa mi.xed with rufous. 



Forewing without fovea ; ape.K acute ; pale ochreous, rather sparsely irrorated 

 with rufous ; costal margin, especially from base to near middle, rufous ; terminal 



line rather thick, deep rufous. Hindwiny with C anastomosing with SO at 



S(^arcely more than a point ; concolorons with forewing ; terminal line as on 

 forewing. 



Forewing beneath suffused with rnfons, rather more dusky towards base, 

 paling off towards posterior margin, behind fold entirely pale. Hindwing beneath 

 nearly as above. 



Madagascar : Antananarivo. Type in coll. L. B. Front, received through 

 Le Monlt. 



62. Heterostegane incognita sp. nov. 



¥, 22 mm. Face pale straw-colour, with a large ochreous spot on each side. 

 Palpus pale straw-colour, mixed with ochreous. Vertex, thorax and abdomen pale 

 straw-colour, the collar and front of thorax tinged with ochreous. 



Forewing whitish straw-colour, inconspicuously irrorated with more ochreous 

 scales, the costal edge more ochreous; Hues faintly darker, quite inconspicuous; 

 antemedian at about one-fourth, curved ; median slightly more distinct, straight, 

 from one-half costa to beyond one-half hindmargin ; postmedian at three-fourths, 

 slightly more wavy, parallel with termen except for a very faint proximal curve 

 anteriorly ; snbterminal straight, midway between postmedian and termen ; a faint 



terminal line. Hindwing with C anastomosing with SO to near middle of cell ; 



costal region slightly paler ; antemedian line obsolete ; median obsolete at costa ; 

 postmedian slightly thickened, markedly wavy, incurved between radials ; snb- 

 terminal almost parallel with termen, slightly approaching it at tornus. 



Forewing beneath more suffused proximally and costally, whitish posteriorly 

 and distally, antemedian line obsolete, median scarcely tracealde ; a distinct dark 

 cell-spot, postmedian and snbterminal lines slightly smoky, more distinct than 

 above, e-wept at hindmargin. Hindwing beneath mostly whitish, with distinct cell- 

 spot, postmedian and snbterminal line. 



Madagascar : Antananarivo (Chulliat). Type in coll. L. B. Front, received 

 through Le Moult. 



An inconspicuous species, superficially recalling Acidalia. Much paler than 

 rectistriga. Front {Ann. Transo. Mus. iii. 213), the lines quite differently placed, the 

 underside with strong cell-spots. 



63. Xenostega irrorata sp. nov. 



c?, 18 mm. Similar to X. diagramma Hmpsn. {Proc. Zool. Soc. Land. 1910, 

 p. 466, t. 39, f. 13) but smaller, the rufous irroratiou somewhat more dense, 

 especially in distal area of forewing, the postmedian line and the longitudinal line 

 from it to the termen thicker, the postmedian iu addition rather straighter, first line
