37. Xenostega fallax sp. nov. 



Porewings : yellowisli ochreons, thickly sprinkled with fulvous and fascons 

 scales ; a brown discal spot : a thick brown submarginal line from just before ajjex 

 to aual angle, connected by a brown streak with hindmargin beyond cell ; a mw of 

 brown-black marginal spots between the veins ; fringe pale yellow. 



Jliiidwings : with an autemedian brown line before the dark cell-spot ; sub- 

 marginal line bluntly angled beyond cell and connected with margin. 



Underside paler ; the submarginal line of forewings thicker and darker, traces 

 of a central line over the cell-spot, which is probably present above in well-marked 

 examples. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen yellow, speckled with fulvous. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One S from Kosokwa, Unyoro, October 1897 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Exceedingly like the description of Stegania indularia Gnen., but Guende 

 expressly calls the antennae strongly ciliated. 



38. Xenostega tincta sp. nov. 



Forewiiuis : dull yellow, thickly speckled and striated with I'erruginous ; traces 

 of a curved basal line indicated by reddi.sh spots on the median and submedian veins; 

 traces also of a median line on inner margin, accompanied by reddish blotches in cell 

 and above submedian fold ; a macular reddish shade from anal angle to vein (i, the 

 inner edge straight, the outer waved ; a row of reddish marginal lunules between 

 the veins ; fringe concolorous with ground colour. The outer shade, as well as the 

 two lines, appears to be edged inwardly by a paler space, and all become obsolete 

 towards costa. 



Hinchciiigs : with the reddish striae forming indistinct median and postmedian 

 bands. 



Underside paler yellow, with a broad purplish marginal fascia, containing in the 

 forewings a yellow apical blotch and a smaller one below middle of hindmargin ; 

 a diffuse curved purplish central shade, and the basal area tinged with the same 

 colour. Thorax and abdomen like wings ; head and antennae reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 24 mm. 



One ? from Warri, April 1897 (Dr. Koth). 



Subfamily BRACCINAE. 

 Ereunetea gen. nov.

 margin obliquely curved. 



Hitirlwings : elongate ; the costa shouldered at base and somewhat convex ; 

 inner margin short ; hindmargin rounded, but straight or slightly excised before 

 anal angle. 



Antennae ofc^ bipectinated ; palpi ni)curved in front of face ; tongue and 

 frenulum present. 



Neuration : forewings ; cell three-fifths of wing ; discocellular oblique ; sub- 

 costal bent downwards at extremity, median bent shortly upwards nearly at right 

 angles ; first median nervule at three-fifths, second from the bend in the median
