black lilotcli ; a row of black marginal Innnles : fringe concolorons, the basal half 

 darker, sometimes che(|uereJ with dark beyond veins; cell-spot elongated, black. 



Hindtvings : the same, without first line ; median line curved round the 

 cell-spot. 



Underside white, grizzled with fuscons ; the lines indistinct, denticulate; a 

 Bubmarginal uniformly broad black band ; apex of forewiugs blackish. Face and 

 palpi blackish ; thorax and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



Four c?c?, 3 from Masindi, April to June 1897 ; one from Katagrukwa River, 

 May 189T (Dr. Ansorge). 



The antennae are shortly aud evenly pectinated, much as in T. murinaria 

 Schiff. 



58. Tephrinopsis assimilis sp. nov. 



Extremely like Semiothisa parallacta Warr., with which at first sight it is 

 easily confounded. The points of difference are as follows : — the hindwings are 

 much less strongly angulated in the middle, being, in fact, only slightly tootlied at 

 vein 4 and bent at vein 6 ; the fovea on forewings of 6 is conspicuous, while in 

 parallacta it is almost obsolete ; the median line is slightly nearer the outer line, 

 and approximates to it on the inner margin, especially in the hindwings, and is not 

 curved round the cell-spot ; on the underside the colour is less yellow, more dirty 

 ochreous, and the snbmarginal brownish fascia of the forewings is not connected 

 with any brownish shade on hindmargin beyond the cell ; the whole surface of the 

 wings above is more confusedly striated with darker. The ? ? are slightly smaller 

 than the c?c?, and have a darker shade marked with blackish scales beyond the 

 outer line, which is rarely indicated in the 6 3 ■ 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



A long series oi S S aud 4 ? ? from various localities in Unyoro : 1 1 from 

 Warringo River, July 1807; 2 from Bulluji, July and Dec. 1897; 1 from Naruangu, 

 May 1898 ; 1 from Panyadnli, May 1897 ; 1 from Kasoha, August 1897; 1 from 

 Mneni, May 1897 ; 1 from Bltibua, Usoga, Dec. 1896 ; 2 from Janjoki, May 1897 ; 

 3 from Fajao, Nov. 1897; 4 from Labonga, Dec. 1897; 5 from Wakibara, Nov. 

 1897 ; 1 from Kitanwa, August 1897 ; 1 from Fovira, Jan. 1898 ; 2 from Kikwero, 

 May 1897 ; 1 from Kampala, Dec. 1896 ; 2 from Masindi, May 1897 ; 1 from 

 Ufnmb, Jan. 1898 (Dr. Ansorge). 



59. Tephrinopsis sabulifera sji. nov. 



Closely related to T. assimil/n, but considerably larger, 35 mm. instead of 

 28 mm. ; the fovea in the c? very much larger ; the wings without dark marginal 

 line ; all the lines much less distinct, being accompanied and liidden by darker 

 scales ; the outer line usually double and often with a cons])icnous dark patcii 

 beyond it on inner margin ; a pale oblique apical patch more or less visible ; the 

 two arms of the outer line_oftcn marked with black spots beyond the angulation ; in 

 tbe forewings the median line is nearer the inner than the outer line. 



Underside with the snbmarginal fascia reduced and very indistinct. Both 

 wings are broader and the apex of forewings squarer. 



Twenty-five examples, all d<S from Unyoro; 6 from Labonga, July 1897; 

 3 from Wakibara, Nov. 1897 ; 1 from Kiagnsi, Nov. 1897 ; 1 from Panyadnli, May
