Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One c? from Katagrukwa River, Unyoro, May 1897 (Dr. Ansorge*). 



I leave tlie species for the present in Isotkauma, as it agrees in tlie size and 

 shape of the cell of the hindwing. It agrees fairly well, as far as description 

 goes, with Rhodoneuni maryaritalis Hmpsn. from Madagascar, which must be 

 very near opalinula Mab., also from Madagascar ; bnt these are both much larger 

 species, and in neither case is any mention made of the antennae of the S , which 

 are thick and armed with short clavate pectinations. Siculodes mellea Saalm. from 

 Madagascar agrees in size.
