Underside diiiv white; cell-spots, (juter, and inarginiil lines hl:u'k. Head, tliomx, 

 and abdomen like wings; face darker. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One c? from Lialui, Barotse (Corvndon). 



In coloration and markings standing quite by itself. The antennae are armed 

 with fine fascicles of long cilia. The hindtibiae are flattened and widened at 

 extremity, each edge fringed with pale hairs, and with terminal s]]urs only; the 

 tibiae and tarsi about of e(|ual length, both fully develoi)ed. 



43. Traminda subcarnea 



ip. nov. 



Fcyrewi lu/s : dull reddish, densely speckled with deeper red; a very faint darker 

 line from two-thirds of costa to three-fifths of inner margin, not straight, but slightly 

 bent from vein to vein ; submarginal line from five-sixths of costa to two-thirds of 

 inner margin, represented by dark dots on veins, angled at vein 4, the dot on that 

 vein being nearest the hindmargin ; fringe concolorous ; no inner or marginal line, 

 nor cell-dot visible. 



Hindwi'iKjs: with a small pale cell-dot ; the submarginal row of dots from two- 

 thirds of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, and more visibly angled on vein 4. 



Underside of forewings deep red, of hindwings paler red, both unspeckled, 

 but the submarginal row of dark dots distinct. Thorax and abdomen, vertex and 

 antennae concolorous with wings; face and palpi deep red. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One (? from Yakusu, Upper Congo, May 1900 (K. Smith). 



Allied to Traminda riifa Warr. from Xatal, but sufficiently distinct; veins 3 

 and 4 of hindwings short stalked. 



Subfamily ASTHENINAE. 

 44. Asthenotricha serraticomis sp. nov. 



Forewings : fulvous yellow, the lines deep fulvous ; one curved close to base ; 

 two beyond, angulated on the veins, indented between ; an antemedian, angled on 

 subcostal, then fairly vertical; a median bent below subcostal, then vertical, slightly 

 waved; a postmedian angled on veins 6 and 4, irregularly waved; an outer and a 

 submarginal lunulate-dentate line, the lunules marked deeper between the \eins; 

 marginal line Umulate, fine; fringe concolorous, with deeper mottlings; a small 

 black cell-spot beyond antemedian line; between antemedian and median lines below 

 the median vein a small patch of iron-grey scales. 



Hindimtigs: paler along costa, with the last four lines of forewings only; a 

 large oval patch of black scales beneath costa, containing a long rosy tuft of hairs. 



Underside dull yellowish, rosy-tinged towards margins; the lines very obscure. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. 



Expanse of wings : 29 mm. 



One cj from the Escarpment, British East Africa. October — Xovember 1900 

 (Doherty). 



Differs from typical Asthenotricha in the antennae of cJ being nniserrute, the 

 teeth thickly ciliated laterally and at apex.
