Tlie S antennae are subseirate vvilli jiedicellate fascicles of cilia alleiiiating with 

 much shorter fascicles, so that it belongs to the same group as suffumata Schiff. and 

 uiMMia Butler. It can hardly be identical with borbonicata Guen., coTnjjared hy 

 him with suffumata, but in the description of which, made from a single damaged 

 specimen, iie makes no mention of the interrn|)tion of the central fascia. 



63. Cosmorhoe aunulifera sp. nov. 



Fureiviiujs : white ; the lines and shading pale fuscous or brownish ; basal patch 

 small, edged by a dark fuscous, irregularly curved line, and traversed by three curved 

 lines; central fascia broad on costa, occupying the middle third of inner margin, its 

 edges darker, especially the outer edge ; crossed internally by three, externally by four 

 waved and lunulate brown lines, the two innermost forming four white annuli below 

 median, and a large whitish space above, crossed by the brown veins and brownish- 

 tinged along costa, containing a small dark cell-spot ; the inner edge is indented on 

 submedian fold, the outer beyond cell, and forms a bilobed projection below median ; 

 the white bands preceding and following the fascia are traversed by dark brown 

 lines, the inner yellowish-tinged along centre, the outer having the line.s lunulate 

 and the outer edge yellow ; marginal area brownish fuscous, the submarginal line 

 hardly visible, but expanding above into a whitish, brown-tinged, triangular, apical 

 blotch ; pair.s of brown marginal spots at the vein ends; fringe broad, dark brown, 

 sometimes with two fine white lines at base and beyond middle. 



Hindivintjs: cream white, with traces of brown lines on inner margin, which 

 are more or less obsolete across wing; hindmargin sometimes brownish, showing a 

 submarginal line; marginal line brown, lunulate, sometimes broken up; fringe lirown 

 or brownish grey, with two pale lines and brown triangular moftlings in middle. 



Underside whitish, with the markings grey brown ; the band beyond central 

 fascia conspicuously pale ; hindwings more speckled with brown. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen whitish, speckled with brown; much darker in one specimen than in 

 the other. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



Two (S S from the Escarpment, IJritish Ea.st Africa, .laiuiary liiOl (l)oherty). 



Antennae thick, lamellate, and pubescent ; areole of forewing single, 10 and 11 

 being stalked and 10 anastomosing with 8, 9. 



(i4. Cosmorhoe submaculata sp. nov. 



Forinvings : whitish, the markings greyish fuscous ; basal patch small, its outer 

 edge curved, followed by a band of whitish ground-colour, the centre of which is filled 

 up with grey; central fascia occupying more than the middle third of wing, its outer 

 edge crinkled, insinuate beyond cell, and forming a bidentate iirojection between 

 veins 2 and 4 ; its inner edge followed by two, its outer i)receded by three, darker 

 crinkled lines ; the central space greyer, containing an elongate black cell-spot ; 

 white band beyond fascia similarly crinkled and containing two grey lines ; sub- 

 marginal hue whitish, dentate, the teeth filled up with dark fuscous, forming iiatclies 

 at costa, beyond cell, and above inner margin ; apex greyish white, edged beneath by 

 an oblique pale line, below which there is a dark marginal cloud to vein 4 ; marginal 

 line black, interrupted at vein ends by pale spots ; fringe dark fuscous. 



Hindwl nijs : whitish grey, with three central curved lines forming a slightly 

 darker fa.scia; marginal area greyer, traversed by a pale submarginal line.
