outer band deep chestnut, the inner edge blackish and distinct, the outer diffusely 

 dentate ; marginal reddish clouds at ajtex, beyond cell, and at anal angle ; fringe 

 red-brown, beneath apex yellow. Head, thorax, and abdomen dull yellow, witii 

 darker striae. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm. 



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



Distinguished by the broader dark margin, the outer line being at two-thirds 

 instead nf at three-fourths, and dentated at middle. I have also seen ? ? from 

 Warri and ^Nlamba, exactly agreeing with the type. 



93. Tephrinopsis trinotata sp. nov. 



cJ. Forewi Di/n : ochreous-grey, finely speckled with darker; base of wing darker 

 grey; costa finely striated with fuscous, and with three elongated costal sjiots. at 

 one-fourth, one-half, and two-thirds, indicating the origin of cross lines; hindmarginal 

 area rather darker, with a slight marginal line; fringe concolorous, with a broad 

 darker line near base ; cell-spot faint. 



IlindiviiKjs : with traces of cell-spots and two transverse lines, antemediaii and 

 post median. 



Underside with brown-black speckling, of the hindwings with brown suffusion ; the 

 lines plainer, diffuse and blackish. Head and thorax grey ; abdomen dull clay -yellow. 



?. Paler, tuore ochreous ; the lines all distinct, bent below costa, then obli(|ue 

 and parallel ; an additional submarginal costal spot, and a marginal shade below apex. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



Three c?(?,one ?, from the Escarpment, British East Africa, January — ]\Iarch 

 1901 (Doherty). 



The liindmargin of hindwings is minutely toothed at vein 4, and shallowly 

 excised beyond cell ; in the forewings the hindmargin is slightly indented between 

 veins 7 and 4. These points are more visible in the ?, which also has the apex of 

 forewing more jn'ominent. Antennae of S subserrate, with rather strong ciliations; 

 the fovea of forewings distinct. All the three iS 6 are worn, and perhaps, when 

 fresh, were as plainly marked as the ? ? . 



SiRi-AMiLY ENXOMINAE. 

 Aethiopodes gen. nov. 



Forewinr/s : with costa straight, arched close to base and at extreme apex ; 

 hindmargin bulged, hardly oblique, bluntly toothed at 4 and 6. 



Hindiviiu/s : broad; hindmargin curved, slightly waved; both angles rounded. 



Antennae of c? plumose to the tips; palpi porrect beyond face, second joinl 

 hairy beneath; third drooping, blunt ; tliorax, front, and pectus hairy ; frenulum 

 present; tongue reduced; hindtibiae with four spin's, not swollen. 



Neuration : forewings, cell three-fifths of wing; discocellular short, vertical 

 above, oblique below ; subcostal vein bent down at extremity ; first median nt rvule 

 at two-thirds ; second a little before third ; radials normal ; 7, 8, stalked from the 

 bend; 9, 10, 11 stalked, approximated only to 12 near origin, 9 anastomosing with 8 : 

 hindwings, costal anastomosing with subcostal for one-half of cell; 7 and 3 hoin 

 before angles of cell. 



Type: Aethiopodes indecoraria Wlk. (Aselina).
