Hindmnroin of hindwiiiicx fully rdiiiidcil : auteuiiae of <? subserrate, ciliated ; 

 hindtibiae of c? thickened, wifhont s])urs, Imt tin- tavsi as long as the tihiao, 

 not aborted. 



The yellow upper surface with the dark nmlerside of hindwinajs is somewhat 

 suggestive of Spi Index n'rtieiilis. 



49. Craspedia(?) submarginata sp. nov. 



Foreiciitgs: cream-white, witli line black atoms; lines brownish ochroous ; 

 first obscnre, at one-fourth, curved; second median, denticulate, outcurved in middle; 

 exterior at two-thirds, irregularly denticulate ; suliterminal cloudy, interrupted ; 

 submarginal entire, curved parallel to hinduiargin, and marked with a small brown 

 patch beyond cell; marginal spots and cell-spot black, distinct; fringe whitisli, with 

 a few scattered dark scales. 



IliiKhcings : the same, without first line ; the median line forms a deep semi- 

 circle round the black cell-spot. 



Underside immaculate, whitish ochreous. Face, palpi, and vertex brown-black; 

 thorax and abdomen li'-e wings. 



Expanse of wings : 10 mm.

Since I described the two species above-mentioned I have seen a jiair from 

 Warri, the c? of which, being rather wasted, is white and answers well to the 

 description of the ? type, which was also worn; the ?, quite fresh, agrees so nearly 

 with that of sii//k-/e//s from the Cameroous that I have little doubt that both belong 

 to one and the same species, the c? expanding :^i) mm., tlie ? 2S— 32 mm. The 

 position of the exterior line seems to vary, as in the fresh ? it is at two-thirds, and 

 therefore farther from the hiudmargin. 



51. Craspedia transsecta sp. nov. 



ForPU'inc/s : yellowish white, with sjiarse and fine black dusting ; the costa 

 narrowly ochraceous ; a straight obli(|ue ferruginous line from costa a little before 

 apex to two-thirds of inner margin : fringe concolorous. 



Hiiuhniigx : with the ferruginous line central. 



Underside without any markings. Face lilack ; paljii Idackish above, pale 

 beneath ; fillet and antennae dull ferruginous ; vertex, th(U-ax, and abdomen like 

 wings. 



Expanse of wiugs : 30 mm. 



One S from Warri, Niger Coast Protectorate, May 1897 (Dr. Uoth). 



The bindmargin of hindwings is distinctly angled in the middle, the anal angle 

 square, the apex rounded ; antennae of S serrate beneath, densely ciliated. 



52. Pisoraca (?) inornata sji. nov. 



Foreiringtt: rufous grey-brown, finely dusted with dark atoms ; costa blackish ; 

 lines very oliscure, first marked only by dots on veins ; median shade smoky 

 blackish, darker at inner margin, slightly sinuous ; outer line at four-fifths, marked 

 by vein dots; marginal area with cloudy dark blotches beyond cell and at anal angle;
