NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 371 



scarcely reddened, shaft of anteuna darker, jiatagia and tegiilae not mixed with 

 red, legs darkened. 



Forewing orange ; cell-mark large, but not extending bej'ond hinder angle of 

 cell; distal border at costa more extended (60 mm.), in the type almost immediately 

 narrowed, thongh still wider than in ncsiotes, in a second example touching the 

 cell-mark. Hindwing with the dark border confined to anterior half and consist- 

 ing only of minute dots (type) or larger, confluent spots (paratype). 



Forewing beneath with the purplish border more or less broadly edged 

 proximally witli blackish from the cell-mark almost to tornus. Hindwing scarcely 

 less orange than forewing.

 (S. A. Neave) in coll. Brit. Mns. 



Not impossibly a local race of the preceding. 



IIT. Geodena venata sp. nov. 



?, 40 mm. Head somewhat damaged, apparently black, palpus black. 

 Antenna black, pectinations of moderate length. Collar orange. Thorax partly 

 black. Tegula dirty white. Abdomen white dorsally, at least in anterior part 

 (partly discoloured), mostly orange ventrally. 



AVings dirty white, the veins strong, darkened with grey. Forewing with base 

 narrowly blackish, costal area blackish, the entire distal area dull black, excepting 

 an irregularly quadrate white spot, with a diameter of about 2 mm., placed between 

 (and just crossing) SC^ and R' at a distance of 5-7 mm. from apex ; proximal 

 boundary of the black area commencing at C about the middle of the wing, obliqae 

 outward to just behind M' near its origin, here pointed, again (though less sharply) 



on M-, then again obliipie outward, reaching termen near tornns. -Hindwing with 



base narrowly blackish, a moderately large blackish cell-spot and a not very broad 

 black border, averaging about 3 mm. in breadth from apex to radial fold, here 

 angled and becoming narrower, widening again somewhat from M' to beyond 

 submedian fold, then abruptly vei'y narrow. Fringe black. 



Underside the same. 



Near (half a mile east of) Oni camp, 70 miles east of Lagos (W. A. Lamboru), 

 pupa found freely exposed on leaf in forest, February 1, 1912, emerged February 6, 

 3 p.m. Type in coll. Oxford Mus. 



Rather distinct in facies, on account of the darkened veins and the large discal 

 spot of the hindwing. The shape of the black border of the forewing is perhaps 

 nearest that of spkingifacies Hmpsn. {Ann. Mag. Xat. Hist. (8) v. 454). This group 

 of the genus is characterised by the shape of the cell of the forewing, which is 

 much longer posteriorly than anteriorly, DC- curving and becoming extremely 

 obli(|ue, R-, R', and M' all arising near together from the posterior arm. 



118. Terina rogersi sp. nov. 



¥ , 3(5 mm. Face black, crossed below the middle by a white band (or two 

 large, more or less confluent white spots) and with a slight admixture of metallic 

 blue scales, especially in the lower part. Palpus black, with a white band at end 

 of first joint. Head and body black with some wiiite spots, dorsal, lateral, and 

 ventral rows equally conspicuous. Legs black, femora whitish on underside. 



Forewing bright golden yellow ; extreme base black, with a white spot, a
