&•-. Traminda submarginata sp. uov. 



Forewings : pinkish ochreons, more or less densely covered with very tine short 

 transverse reddish striae ; a small linear reddish cell-spot, often obscure, or even 

 unmarked ; an obliqao, outwardly pale-edged reddish line from three-fifths of inner 

 margin to four-fifths of costa, generally obsolete before costa, followed shortly by a 

 curved cloudy shade, marked by red dashes on veins, generally, like the preceding 

 line, obsolete before costa ; in one strongly marked example these red dashes arc 

 prolonged along the nervnles to their origin ; fringe concolorons, with sometimes a 

 red speck at apex. 



Hindwings : similar ; the cell-spot oval, white ; fringe sometimes with a red 

 speck at the angle. 



Underside pale ochreoas, finely dusted with reddish, with a dift'use vinous 

 submargiual fascia, incomplete on hindwings. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorons ; the face somewhat darker. 



Expanse of wings : 24 ram. 



Three ? ? from Tambora, Sambawa, June 1896, 25un_4OU0 feet (Doherty). 



Forewings with hindmargin sinuons, the bend at vein 4 inconspicuous ; the 

 angle of hindwings not acute. 



Subfamily ASTHENINAE. 

 Asthenotricha gen. uov. 



Foreivhigs : broad, triangular ; the costal, hind, and inner margins all curved ; 

 the apex prominent ; hindmargin subcrenulate. 



Hindwings : with the costa strongly and broadly shouldered along inner half, 

 hindmargin curved and subcrenulate ; anal angle square. 



Antennae lamellate, serrate beneath and pubescent ; palpi short ; tongue and 

 frenulum present ; basal two-thirds of costal area of hindwings above clothed with 

 mealy scales, with a long oblique tuft of hairs rising from near base of shoulder. 



Neuration : forewings, cell barely half as long as wing ; discocellular concave, 

 the lower half oblique ; first median at two-thirds, second at seven-eighths ; radials 

 normal; 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 11 anastomosing with them to form a simple areole. 

 Hindwings, with costal anastomosing with subcostal for two-thirds of cell ; the 

 subcostal nervnles not stalked. . . 



Type : Asthenotricha dentatissima sp. nov. 



83. Asthenotricha dentatissima sp. nov. 



Forewings: deep yellow, tinged with reddish fulvous, and crossed by many 

 largely dentate fulvous lines, of which the antemedian and postmediau are marked 

 with purplish fuscous; cell-spot purplish ; fringe yellow, with a fine fulvous line 

 at base. 



Hindwings : similar ; the mealy scales and tuft of hair brick-red. 



Underside pale glossy yellowish, without markings. Thorax and abdomen like 

 wings ; head parts damaged. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One 6 from Mpwapwa, German East Africa. 



The only example is not in a good state of preservation ; there appears to be 

 a deeper fulvous streak in both wings through the cell to hindmargin, marked in 

 places with still darker scales.
