fonrths of inner margin to five-sixths of costa, before which it is shortl}' retracted, 

 and followed on costa by a pale pinkish ^rey triangnlar blotch; an olive-fnlvons 

 dentated snbmarginal shade, only definite at costa and above anal angle ; a curved 

 diffuse cloudy median shade, approximated to the outer line below middle, the space 

 between them deo]ier fulvous ; cell-spot obsc'ure, blackish ; fringe olive-fulvous with 

 the tips pale. 



Hindwings : the same, without first line ; the cell-spot a very fine biangnlated 

 hyaline mark. 



Underside with the straight outer line dark and well marked ; the pale fawn- 

 coloured inner area with a ditfuse olive-fulvous cloud beyond middle ; forewings 

 with an olive-fulvous cloud touching the outer line ; the hindwings almost wholly 

 falvous. Head, thorax, and abdomen fulvous fawn-colour, the abdomen somewhat

33. Paracrocota semirufa sp. uov. 



Forewings: pale rufous-grey, sparsely black-speckled, and with fine rufons 

 striae ; first line very indistinct, curved, from one-fifth of costa to one-fourth of 

 inner margin, rufous edged inwardly with paler ; outer line straight, from apex to

 beyond this line paler, less rufous than the rest of wing ; the fringe concolorous ; 

 a black cell -spot ; costa pale, like marginal area.

One cJ taken three days from Fort Beni, Congo Free State, May 7th, 1899 

 (Dr. Ausorge). 



The submedian vein of forewings is swollen at base and followed by a small but 

 distinct hyaline fovea ; veins 10 and 11 are stalked, 11 anastomosing with 12, and 

 10 osculating with 9. Mabille describes a Caberodes insidaria from Madagascar 

 (C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. 188U, p. xxii), which must be near this species ; his type 

 was a ? .
