 and there mixed with blackish scales ; no cell-s[)ot. 



Underside whitish, slightly yellow tinged at base ; forewings with smoky 

 blackish broad marginal border, the inner edge of which is nearly straight from 

 costa to above anal angle, and containing a white marginal blotch at apex and 

 below middle ; hindwings with a large subapical dark blotch and smaller one

3 c?(? from Ran, Nandi Country, February 1S99 (Dr. Ansorge) ; taken at the 

 same time as a series of rhuliimitria Guen., but (piite distinct. It appears to be 

 the corresponding African form of rugimuia Guen. from India. There are examples 

 in the British Museum from Kilima-njaro.

 8. Antharmostes ? albisticta sp. nnv.

This species does not agree in all points with the type species ; the palpi are 

 long and well-developed, and the antennae fully pectinated ; veins 3 and 4 rise 

 together from lower angle of cell in forewing ; but it may be placed lure for the 

 present.

 line ; fringe coucolorous ; no cell-spot ; costa pale ferruginous. 



Hindwings : withont markings. .
