 the outer line brownish, thick and distinct ; minute marginal dark dots at base of 

 fringe of both wings. Face and palpi blackish ; thorax and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 'i'i mm. 



Two $S from Warri, Niger Coast Protectorate, August 1S9T (Dr. Roth). 



Hindmargin of hindwings very faintly crennlate, with a slight prominence 

 in middle. 



48. Craspedia semispurcata sp. nov. 



Foreiriny^ : pale yellow, the cell-spot and transverse lines deeper yellow: the 

 antemedian shortly before cell-spot ; median, postmedian, subterminal, and sub-
