Underside with the markings fnscons grey, and distinct ; the base of forewings 

 grey ; hindwing whiter. Face and palpi brownish ; thorax and abdomen white ; 

 antennae oclireons. 



Expanse of wings : 25 mm. 



Two (S c? from Mtibna and Lugnia, Usnga, December 1896 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Hind tarsi as long as hind tibiae, which are thickened, with a pencil of hairs, 

 but without spurs ; antennae with fine pectinations. 



22. Lipomelia irregularis. 



Cosymbia ? irregularis Warr., Nov. Zool. v. p. 239, ? (1898). 



Having now seen and examined a c? of tbis species, I am able to ref;i it to the 

 genus Lipomelia Warr. The palpi are shortly upcurved in front of face ; the J 

 antennae subserrate and ciliated ; hind tibiae of cf swollen and tufted with hair 

 at extremity, witliout spurs ; bind tarsi about two-tbirds the length of the tibiae, 

 not so much abbreviated as in typical Lipomelia. In forewings 10 and 11 are 

 stalked, 10 anastomosing with 8, 9. 



In markings the 3 does not differ from the ? ; in this particular specimen the 

 lower balf of basal line below tbe median is very indistinct, and the upper half is 

 united along the median to the second line, so tbat the two lines superficially appear 

 to form an oblique Y- The fringe is pinkisb, with dark mottlings beyond the vein 

 ends. 



23. Mnesithetis delicata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale ochreous, tinged with olive-grey and pinkish scales ; a 

 regularly zigzag pale brown submarginal line ; some slight marginal marks before 

 fringe, which is concolorous. 



Llindwings : with the disc tinged with pinkish yellow ; the cell-spot consisting 

 of two white dots : submarginal line less zigzag. 



Underside glossy, paler ; the forewings with a rosy flush ; the marginalline 

 blackish. Head deep red-brown ; thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.

24. Ptychopoda subscutulata sp. nov. 



Forewings : straw-colour, sparsely dusted with fuscous ; the lines fuscous, 

 starting from fuscous-brown costal spots : first at one-third of costa, obliquely 

 curved inwards to one-third of inner margin ; second from three-fourths of costa, 

 angled outwards at vein 0, thence oblique and sinuous to inner margin at two-thirds, 

 where it is thickened and followed by a small brown patch ; median and submarginal 

 lines hardly visible; cell-dot blackish; fringe concolorous, with a basal row of rather 

 large dark brown spots. 



Him/wings : with the outer line central, followed at middle of inner margin 

 liy a brownish blotch ; a faint dark postmedian and submarginal line ; antemedian 

 shade visible only on inner margin ; cell-spot small. 



Underside similar ; the cell-spots better marked. Face and palpi dark brown ; 

 thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 12 mm. 



One S from Masindi, April 1897 (Dr. Ansorge).
