43. Cosymbia (?j irregularis sp. uov. 



ForewinffS : pale flesh-colour, with a few black atoms ; the costa and lines difiusely 

 red-brown ; first from costa at one-sixth to inner margin at one-fonrth, bent on 

 median vein ; second from costa before middle to middle of inner margin, inbent on 

 median and approaching angle of first line, followed below by a redder tinge, and 

 nearly touching the small black ctell-dot ; outer line from costa at three-fourths to 

 five-sixths of inner margin, ontcurved between veins 2 and 6, subcrenulate ; an 

 interrupted snbmarginal line, brown at inner margin ; marginal area paler, with 

 reddish brown snifusion beyond cell and above anal angle ; fringe worn, probably 

 concolorous, beyond a blackish marginal line. 



Ilindwings : with traces of curved antemediau and denticulated postmedian lines 

 only ; cell-spot larger, black ; marginal line blackish. 



Underside ros3'-tinged ; both wings with traces of denticulate outer line. Head 

 dark brown-black ; thora.x. and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from Warri, Septemljer 1897 (Dr. Roth). Referred to Cosymbia, 

 provisionally; the example is considerably worn and has lost the hindleo-g. 



44. Craspedia bispurcata sp. nov. 



Forewinys: whitish ochreous, sprinkled with black scales ; the lines distinct, 

 yellowish ochreous ; first from one-third of costa to one-fourth of inner margin, 

 marked also by slight dark dots on veins ; median sinuous, dentated, rather diffuse, 

 slightly outcnrved above round the dark cell-dot; exterior line at three-fourths, 

 acutely dentate, the concavity be3'ond cell and on submedian fold being occupied by 

 a black-brown blotch ; snbmarginal waved, pale, between two ochreous shades ; the 

 curve beyond cell and on submedian fold with a sHght brown mark ; a row of large 

 black marginal spots ; fringe concolorous, with minute dots at ends of veins. 



Hindwings : with an ochreous antemedian line before the black cell-spot ; a 

 straight minutely denticulate postmedian line, followed by two macnlar ochreous 

 shades ; margin and fringe as in forewings. 



Underside whitish, with all the markings distinct, grey ; the costa and basal 

 half of forewings smoky fuscous. Face and jialpi dark brown ; vertex, thorax, and 

 abdomen whitish ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 6 26 mm., ¥ 28 mm. 



A pair from the Khasias, February 1897. 



45. Craspedia flavissima sp. nov. 



Forewings : rather deep yellow, with the two lines, the cell-spot, and fringe 

 slightly deeper ; first line at one-third, second at three-fourths, simply curved, the 

 latter parallel to hiudmargin. 



Hindwings : with outer line only. 



Underside uniform yellow. Face and j)alpi blackish ; antennae ferruginous ; 

 head, thorax, and abdomen yellow. 



Exjianse of wings : S 18 mm., ? lit mm. 



A jiair from Warri, Niger Coast Protectorate, August 1897 (Dr. Roth). 



The deeper yellow lines and cell-spot are very obscure, and better seen when, aa 

 in the case of this i, the wings are somewhat worn. 



Related to C. mellijlua Warr. from Natal, from which it is distinguished by 

 its smaller size and by the rounded hiudmargin of hindwings.
