succeeding the Hue beiusr piilcr and edged by a Hue of dark teetli, ditl'iise above and 

 becoming black-brown and more distinct towards inner margin, where the line ends 

 in a dark blotch : siibmarginal line pale, wavy, edged by brown triangular blotciies, 

 excnrved above towards hindmargin : cell-spot large, curved, brown with black 

 edges, covering the whole of the discocellular and merged in a brown costal spot 

 above ; a narrow brown marginal line just before the actual margin, which is of 

 the pale ground-colour : fringe rufous fuscous, jiale below the apex and at vein 3. 



Jfr/ir/trimj.i : with a black cell-spot, preceded by a forked antomcdian brown 

 line : the pale gronnd-colour becomes smoky olive towards the hindmargin, and 

 contains a dark brown snbmarginal line from costa before apex, bent in the middle 

 and incurved and obsolescent towards inner margin : a curved whitish line from anal 

 angle to hindmargin o])])osite cell : snliapical ])rojection with a large brown white- 

 edged blotch : marginal line deep brown, leaving, as in forewings, a fine pale space 

 beyond it, and from costa to vein 7 edged internally by a pale line ; fringe from 

 apex to projection and in the excision opposite cell dark, the rest pale. 



Underside whitish, with coarse olive-fuscous s])eckles ; a broad brown sub- 

 marginal fascia, its inner edge crenulate, and extending in forewings to hindmargin 

 opposite the cell, in hindwings filling up the prominence and irregularly broken 

 1>elow. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous white, speckled with darker. 



Expanse of wings : 58 mm. 



Two ? ? from Warri, River Niger, April l><m (Dr. Uotli). 



This very conspicuous insect is named in ht)nour of tlie collector.

Forewings : whitish, this ground-colour almost entirely hidden, except towards 

 apex and hindmargin, by purplish grey and brownish suffusion ; costa j-ellowish 

 ochreous, with fuscous striae ; the three lines dark brown, .it one-third, one-half, and 

 two-thirds resjjectively, all bent below costa, tiien oblique and parallel ; a dark, 

 somewhat irregular, marginal line : fringe dark grey, with a paler base. 



Hindwings : with slightly waved antemodiau, postmodiau, and snbmarginal 

 lines ; both wings with black cell-spot. 



Underside whiter, much freckled with fnscons ; a broad snbmarginal fuscous 

 fascia : forewings with a white subapical spot ; hindwings with the inner-marginal 

 area whiter : head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One 6 from Warri, River Niger, February 1890 (Dr. Roth). 



The hindwings have the hindmargin produced in the middle, and somewhat 

 convex on either side: antennae filiform, hardly pubescent.

Forewings : whitish, uniformly dusted with fuscous atoms ; the marginal area 

 sufinsed with pale puri)lish grey, which sometimes extends along the iimer margin 

 and pervades the basal area ; costa grey, mixed with ochreous ; first line at one- 

 fourth, outcurved from costa, bent above the median, and oblique inwarcts ; median 

 line generally diftuse, curved just below costa, touching the cell-spot, and incurved 

 so as to approximate to the inner line below the middle ; outer line bluntly angled 

 on vein 6, thence minutely waved to inner margin at thrce-fourth> ; submurginal 

 line obscure, pale grey or whitish, preceded at costa by a triangular fuscous blotch,
