iiicurveil, and appareiith- fluuble; a siiliinarniiial lumilatp line; all these lines greenish 

 grey; a very fine black marginal festoon, forming minute dots between veins; fringe 

 deep, glossy whitish, the inner half darker than the outer; cell-spot indistinct, of 

 raised white scales. 



Hindwbujs: with two lines; one postmedian from two-thirds of costa to five- 

 sixtlis of inner margin; the other submarginal, bent at middle; an elongate silvery 

 white mark of raised scales on discocellular. 



Underside pearly white, with only the marginal dots marked; costa in basal half 

 broadly ferruginous in the S, then yellow; narrowly pink in the ?. Face, palpi, 

 and forelegs deep red; thorax and abdomen like wings. 



Exjianse of wings : 30 — 34 mm. 



Two tJc?, six ? ?, from the Escarpment, Ijritish East Africa, September 1900— 

 March 19((1 (Doherty). 



In one ? the lines and nervules are tinged with pink. 



2d. Craspedia fimbrilineata sp. nov. 



Forewiiigs: bone-colour, rather thickly powdered with black atoms; the lines 

 olive-ochreous, starting from slight grey costal spots ; first at one-fourth, sharply 

 angled on subcostal vein and there marked by a distinct black spot; second, median, 

 dentate, angled outwards in cell beyond the small black cell-spot; outer line at 

 three-fourths, dentate lunulate, the lunules beyond cell and in submedian inter\al 

 black ; two subterminal thick greyish ochreous shades containing the submarginal 

 line, both marked with double lirown and black blotches beyond the black lunules of 

 outer line, those above inner margin fainter ; marginal black lunules ; fringe con- 

 colorous, with small black dots near the base connected by a fine line of dark scales. 



Hindwings : similar, but without basal line ; cell-spot surrounded by a ring of 

 close grey scales; outer line without black lunules. 



Underside of forewings ochreous tinged, speckled with fuscous towards costa; 

 cell-spot and two outer lines distinct ; marginal line continuous ; fringe-spots distinct : 

 hindwings paler, with cell-spot and outer line of spots. Face and palpi black-brown 

 above, ochreous below ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen like forewings ; abdomen with 

 dorsal spots. 



Expanse of wings ; 30 mm. 



One S from the Escarpment, British East Africa, December 1900 — January 1901, 

 6500—9000 ft. (Doherty). 



Distinguished by its larger size. 



30. Craspedia muscosaria sp. nov. 



Closely allied to G. Sdiujainisectn ^\'arr. from S. Africa, from which it diflfers in 

 the following respects. Hoth wings are suffused with dull greenish scales, which are 

 densest in the marginal area ; the costa of forewings is not red ; the outer line, from 

 costa to the bend below vein 6, is not oblique and straight, parallel to the outward 

 arm of the median line, but rounded outwardly; the marginal line is very obscure, 

 olive-green, and faintly crenulate, and the fringe is dark-dotted at base beyond the 

 veins ; blotches beyond cell and on inner margin reddish as in Bangui iiisc da. 



Underside much paler, except marginal area of forewings, speckled sparsely 

 with greenish, more densely in forewings beyond outer line; costa of forewings
