insinuate between, jn-ecetlcd by two fine parallel waved brown lines ; tlie innermost 

 lines coalesce in tiie centre to form a narrow oblong curved blackish patch from 

 costa to median vein and a dark sjiot on submediau fold ; snbmarginal line 

 indistinct, forming whitish luuules ; a dark triangular patch on outer margin limited 

 above by an oblique line from ajiex ; an infermptcd black marginal line; fringe 

 concolorons, the base darker. 



Ilindwiny : ])aler, esjieeially along costal hall', with all the lines, except the 

 basal, repeated ; the central ftiscia without any dark markings. 



Underside much darker ; the cell-spots and all three lines blackish. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen brownish grey ; the last with dark segmental 

 rings. 



Expanse of wings : l',i mm. 



1 $ from Lower Umkomaas, Natal (G. F. Leigh). 



Ilindraargin of hindwing sinuate, much as in Ochi/rin iiironsiiicKn Warr. from 

 India, which it greatly resembles. 



Subfamily TEPHT^O(iLYSTIIXAE. 

 20. Tephroclystia atomaria "Warr. 



This species was described from a 6 only, in Sor. Zool. ix. ]i. .MO ('Kiii2), from 

 British E. Africa. 



The ? is somewhat larger, with the ground-colour, both of body and wings, 

 decidedly whiter, and the markings more distinct ; on the costa are four dark 

 lilotches, from which rise four grey bauds, the tirst limiting the basal area, the next 

 two forming the outside liands of the central fascia, and the last immediately 

 preceding the submarginal line. The hindwing is uniform pale grey throughout. 



This ? came along with an ordinary S from Deimba, Ivory Coast, Feb. 1903 

 (Pemberton). 



SUPFAMILY PALYADINAE. 

 .■ill. Ochroplutodes crocea spec nov. 



Foreinnff ; glossy pale yellow, towards base and along costa somewhat shiny ; 

 sparsely sprinkled with red-brown dots, but without any markings ; on costa before 

 apex a square red-brown blotch ; two coalescent lunnlate blotches between 

 veins 2 and 4, and a spot at middle of inner margin ; these Ijrown blotches are 

 placed as if they might be on the margin of a sinuous line, such as occurs in 

 0. sordida ; fringe concolorous. 



Ilhidtciny : with the dots arranged landlike before the middle, with a slight 

 blotch at the origin of veins fi, 7. 



Underside paler yellow, with only the double bldtch of forewing marked. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous; fillet and antennae white. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



2 ? ? from Durban, Natal (G. F. Leigh), probably bred. 



It is jiossible, though scarcely probable, that this may be a ? of O. sordida 

 described by me as doubtfully African— cf. Nov. Zool. ii. p. 120 (1895). Since 

 that description was published I have seen several examjdes, all (?<?, from 

 Northdene, Natal ; but the present insect gcem.s totally distinct.
