( 39 ) 



lUnihring : with apex rounded ; anal angle prominent ; hindmargin sliglitlj' 

 curved. 



Antennae of S bipectinate to three-fifths, the pectinations stiff and ciliated ; 

 palpi short, nptnrned, not reaching toj) efface ; tongne and frenulnni present ; hind- 

 tibiae thickened, with four spurs ; abdomen apparently with dorsal tufts. 



Nenvatiou : forewing, cell half as long as wing ; discocellnlar vertical ; first 

 median nervnle at fonr-fifths, second close to third ; vein 5 from rather above the 

 middle of discocellnlar, (3 from upper end of cell ; 7, 8, 9, stalked from just before 

 end; 10 and 11 coincident; the median vein is curved upwards near base, the 

 membrane below it forming au elongated double fovea-like depression on the 

 underside, the base of cell being also somewhat distorted : hindwing with veins 3 

 and 7 both before angles of cell, which is quite half as long as wing. 



Type : M. catori spec. nov. 



The genns is manifestly related to Ilif/tephi/ra Butler, an Eastern genus ; differing 

 in the pectinated antennae and in the distortion of the median vein. 



13. Metallospora catori spec nov. 



Foreicing : roughly scaled, olive-brown ; the lines darker, but obscure ; first at 

 one-fourth, second at two-fifths, both slightly curved, the latter followed by the large 

 oblong blackish cell-spot ; outer line very indistinct, incurved below middle, and 

 reaching inner margin at two-thirds ; submarginal line irregularly waved and 

 clouded ; the costa, cell-mark, fringe, and all the lines are edged with bluish silvery 

 scales, and the whole wing appears to be more or less sprinkled with the same, but 

 this may be due to wearing, as the single specimen is not in perfect condition ; 

 fringe concolorous. 



Hindwing : without first line ; the cell-spot smaller, but deep black. 



Underside bright ochraceous ; the markings blackish; these are the second 

 line, the cell-spot, and a diffuse submarginal cloud; in the forewing this is broad 

 and irregular, lying between veins 2 and ; in the hindwiug it forms a narrower 

 band from costa to submedian fold ; costal and hindmargins with a few dark 

 striae. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above olive-brown ; palpi, pectus, legs, and under- 

 side of abdomen ochraceous like underside of wings. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



1 S from Moyamba, Sierra Leoue, September 1901 (D. Cator). 



I have named this species in honour of the collector. 



14. Pareclipsis insolita spec. nov. 



Forcirinq : grey-brown, with darker speckling ; the lines olive-brown ; first 

 from one-fourth of costa to one-fourth of inner margin, acutely angled on the sub- 

 costal vein ; median line oblique, nea ly straight, passing over the brown cell-spot; 

 outer line at four-fifths, outwardly curved from costa to submedian fold, then 

 vertical, edged on both sides with pale ochreous ; submarginal line deeply dentate- 

 Innulate, paler, the Innnles filled uj) with brownish, those beyond the cell with 

 blackish ; large black marginal sjjots between the veins ; fringe grey-brown with a 

 pale basal line,
