One c? from St. Aignau, October Is'.) 7 (Meek). 



The liiudmargius of botli wings are romideil ; the red ground- colour does uot 

 2)rotrude in the middle into the yellow border and fringe. 



To. Craspedia albilarvata sp. uov. 



Forcir/'/K/s : silk}' white, uniformly dusted with minute bhukisli scales. 



Iliudiciiiijs ■■ the same ; fringe of both wings white. 



Underside of forewiugs tinged with grey-brown along eosta and on basal half ; 

 traces of two curved and wavy brownish Hues beyond middle ; costa 3-ellowish ; 

 hindwings with an obscure cell-spot. Face and palpi brown above, white beneath : 

 vertex, thorax, and abdomen white. 



E.xpanse of wings : 20 mm. 



One c? from Keeluug, Formosa, August l.s'JG (Jonas). 



In certain lights traces cau be detected of two pale ochreous curved and waved 

 lines beyond middle : possibly in well-marked, fresh specimens they may be 

 plainer. The hindmargin of hindwings is bluntly elbowed in miildle. 



T4. Craspedia dissimulans sp. nov. 



Fon'wi//(/s: white, s})arsely sprinkled with black atoms: costal edge finely 

 ochraceous, broader towards apex ; lines ochraceous : first very faint, from about 

 one-fourth of inner margin oblicpie to cell, where it fades out ; second line distinct, 

 brownish ochraceous, from below costa shortly before apex to just beyond middle of 

 inner margin fringe ochraceous, the tips browner : cell-spot faint, ochraceous. 



IlindiriiKjs : with the line central : fringe and cell-spot as in forewings. 



Underside white, without markings. Face and njiper edge of jialpi black- 

 brown : palpi pale below : vertex, basal third of autennal shaft, and collar 

 ochraceous ; thorax and abdomen white. 



Expanse of wings : iin mm. 



One ? from Warri, Niger Coast Protectorate, May Is'.) 7 (Dr. Roth). 



Attention should be drawn to the extraordinary resemblance between this insect 

 and Leucetaera simjAiciata Wlk. from India and Borneo. lu dissimulans the costa 

 of forewings is more broadly ochraceous towards apex ; the outer line of forewings 

 is unite straight, and on hindwings runs to nearly middle of inner mai'gin. In 

 slmpliciata the costa of forewings is darker and more broadly ochraceous near base ; 

 the outer line of forewings is notched ou the veins towards the costa, and in the 

 hindwings reaches the abdominal margin at one-third from anal auglc. The 

 neuration, of course, will at once distinguish the sjiecies. 



J>issimiihtiis belongs to a grouj) of species of simple markings, of which 

 five others already described by me occur in Africa : viz. laccijje/inis from the 

 Camcroons ; mcUijlua from X;ital ; and Jlai:i-'<Hiiiia, jii/raliata, and transscda from 

 AVarri. 



7.J. Craspedia habilis sp. nov. 



J'o/rwi/tgs : bone-colour, dusted with very tine fuscous atoms, particularly 

 towards hindmargin ; a slender, slightly tremulous, fuscous line from iive-sixths of 

 costa to two-lhirds of inner margin, reti'acted a little towards costa : a minute dark 

 cell-spot ; fringe concolorous, with a tine dark line at base.
