oblique outwards in the lower half; veins ID and 11 are lioth free, from cell; 

 the thorax aud pectus are both hirsute, the patajria .strongly developed. 



There appears also to be a furrow or thickening along the submedian fold of 

 the hindwings ; but as these are damaged, its character caunot clearly be made out.

 Since the description of the S was published, a specimen of the ? has been 

 received, taken four days' journey from Fort Beni, Congo Free State, May 8th, 1899, 

 by Dr. Ansorge. The ¥ has the antennae pectinated almo.st as strongly as the c?, 

 as is the case also in Pseiu/alcis pecfinata 'Wmt. from Warri ; but in Pseudalcis 

 vein 11 of the forewings rises from 12, as in Medasina. 



24. Alcis remotata sp. nov. 



Forewings : wood-brown, densely striated with fuscous ; the costa strongly 

 marked with black ; lines black ; first from one-fourth of costa to one- fifth of inner 

 margin, bent on the median vein ; outer line from five-sixths of costa to two-thirds 

 of inner margin, obli(^ue inwards to vein 6, bluntly angled outwards on vein 5, 

 then sinuous and thickened ; submarginal line hardly paler, but denoted by dark 

 lunules before it beneath costa, opposite cell, and above inner margin ; a row of 

 black marginal spots; fringe concolorous ; cell- mark blackish, indistinct. 



IJindwinffs : with an antemedian line very obscure, and a sinuous postmedian 

 line less acutely angled than in forewings. 



Underside pale whitish ochreous, coarsely speckled with fuscous ; cell-spots 

 and outer lines marked. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings ; the 

 segments of the abdomen with black spots. 



Expanse of wings : 3.5 mm. 



One (J from Nakabimba, Torn, April 1899 (Dr. Ansorge). 



Very much like A. simulatrix from Kampala, but distinguished by the different 

 position of the lines ; the first is not angled prominently in the cell, and the second 

 starts from much nearer the apex. 



25. Chogada aubcincta sp. nov. 



Exceedingly like ('. suhipurcata Warr., the markings as a rule not so strongly 

 developed ; it is, however, only two-thirds the size, and in the hindwings the inner 

 line runs quite clear of the discal spot, while in subspurcata these always touch. 

 On the underside the whole surface is dingy grey, except a whitish space before 

 and beyond the discal spot, and at apex of forewing ; the hindmargin is dilfusely 

 smoky black towards apex only, never with the distinct black marginal fascia 

 of siihspurcuta. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



Five ? ? from the island of St. Thom6, October and November 1899 

 (Mocquerys). 



Subfamily FIDONIINJJ]. 



20. Fidonia ansorgei sp. uov. 



Forewings : sulphur-colour ; the costal margin narrowly and the inner margin 



broadly studded with irregular black spots and striae more or less confluent ; 



beyond the middle these spots become black blotches connected with the black
