XOTITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 375 



124. Hylemeridia majuscula sp. nov. 



? , 36 mm. Exceedingly like eurema Plotz, from Gold Coast and Cameroons, 

 bnt larger. 



Forewing witii broader black border ; ia eurema, against a wing expanse of 

 15 mm., this measures at its broadest (apex to median vein) 4-5 to 5 mm. ; in 

 niajmcula, against an expanse of 17 mm., it measures 7 to 7-5 mm. Apical fringe 

 in both these species white. Hindwing also with the apical spot broader. 



Oni, Lagos (VV. A. Laraborn), 2 ? ? in coll. Oxford Mns. The type was 

 captured flying at 4 p.m. on October 14, 1910 (near the end of the wet season), in 

 forest half a mile from Oni. 



Antennal pectinations very long bnt very slender. In one example, SC'~^ arises 

 from the cell, though near SC^~^ in the other from the base of the stalk ; in the 

 other species of the genus, so far as I have observed, the stalking is constant. 



125. Hylemeridia eurymelanotes sp. nov. 



<? ? , 27-32 mm. Near eurema Plotz, legs less darkened, hindwing slightly 

 more elongate costally. 



Forewing with the black border very much broader, at costa occupying almost 

 three-fifths of the wing, its proximal edge slightly sinnous, running somewhat 

 obliquely in tlie direction of tornus as far as the fold, then recurved so as to reach 

 liindmargin at 2 or 3 mm. before tornus ; costal edge narrowly blackened to base. 



Hindwing with apical spot triangular, rather larger than in eurema, its proximal 



edge reaching costal margin before the end of C (in eurema reaching termen behind 

 C, with an extremely narrow extension along the margin as far as C). 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 ft., January — March 1907 (G. L. Bates), 

 type i in coll. Kothschild ; April — May 1913, a c? in coll. L. B. Prout ; others in 

 coll. Rothschild are merely labelled " Cameroons." Congo Forest, February 6, 1907 

 (A. F. R. Wollaston), a ? in coll. Brit. Mus. 



Smaller than the preceding, the black border considerably broader still, its 

 boundary more oblique from costa to fold, so that the white ground-colour appears 

 to project more at the fold. 



126. Hylemeridia nigricosta sp. nov. 



$ , 28-29 mm. Head and antenna black, palpus mostly pale ochreous. Thorax 

 pale ochreous. Abdomen still paler, especially on upperside. Fore and middle legs 

 and hindtarsus partly darkened. 



Forewing with termen rather more oblique than in eurema Plotz, to which it is 

 otherwise nearly akin ; white, with extensive black border ; this commences in a 

 point at base of costa, widens rapidly so as to bound the cell anteriorly, crosses the 

 cell a little beyond its middle to M just before the origin of M', runs for a short 

 distance nearly parallel with the medians, then again cnrves or bends, finally 

 forming a border of about 3 mm. breadth along posterior part of termen ; fringe 



black. Hindwing with the black limited to a patch at apex which reaches, or 



just crosses, R'. 



Underside the same. 



Uganda: Uuyoro, Budongo Forest, 3400 ft., December II, 1911 (type); 

 W. Aukole, 4500-5000 ft., October 12, 1911 ; both in coll, Brit. Mus., collected by 

 S. A. Neave.
