Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous ; basal segments of abdomeu with 

 pairs of dark spots on dorsum. 

 Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 

 1 S from Ganyouyo, Ivory Coast, May 1903 (Pemberton). 



oO. Peridela butaria ab. ? spilota nov. 



Larger than Swiiih(ie"s lni/iin(r, rather yellower in coloration, covered with 

 minute brownish frecklings, which are densest towards base; a nearly vertical 

 brown line near base and a small brown cell-spot ; outer line bent outwards at 

 costa and angled below vein 6, much as in the type form and equally indistinct, 

 followed by a darker band which is parallel to the line and not connected apparently 

 with the outer margin as in hataria ; this band is marked by dark spots between 

 the veins ; outer margin jiale, not clouded ; small dark marginal spots between 

 the veins ; fringe coucolorous. 



Hindiving : similar, but without inner line ; the cell-spot large. 



Underside with an evenly broad dark grey snbmarginal band, darker between 

 the veins, quite unconnected with tlie hindmargin ; cell-sputs distinct. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; face and palpi brown. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



1 ? from Taveta. 



Although the specimen was accompanied by an undoubted ? of hu.taitK from 

 the same locality, I am not at all sure that it is not a distinct species. 



Subfamily ENNOMINAE. 

 Genus Miantochora Warr. 



?. Forewing : elongate; costa slightly sinuous, depressed at apex, which is 

 bluntly subfalcate ; hindmargin excised between s and 0, vertically protuberant 

 between 6 and 4, then oblique. 



llindicing : angled at vein 4 ; dentate-lunulate above, and crenulate below 

 the angulation. 



Antennae fine and filiform ; abdomen short, depressed, with long exserted 

 ovipositor, as in Hyjjosidra. 



In general appearance the two ? ? recall those of Geoli/ces (to which Colonel 

 Swiuhoe would sink the genus : cf. T/: Eiit. Soc. 1004, p. .j18) ; but the hindwing 

 in that is evenly curved, not angled nor crenulate. 



Go. Miantochora incolorata Warr. 



The S only was known, when I described the species, 2Coc. Zoo/, vi. p. ri4 

 (18'jy). The ? ditlers considerably, both in size, outline, and coloration. 



Foreicing : ochraceous dusted with darker between tlie inner and outer lines; 

 first line brown, at one-fourth, oblique from costa to median vein, along which it 

 runs inwards, then vertical, preceded by a broad baud of olive, the basal area 

 below the median ochraceous ; just beyond it an obscure median shade starts 

 from costa, is swollen below median, and runs to middle of inner margin ; outer 

 line from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of iimer margin, marked by large
