Spkcimkx 1. 



Forewint/s deep brownish grey, crossed by a nniuber of hairlike transverse lines. 

 From the centre of the outer margin to the costa along the outer edge of the cell runs 

 a broad black band. Beyond this, to the apex, the ground colour is much darker 

 tliiin the rest of the wings, and is crossed by two zigzag, ill-defined Hues. 



Ilindtchigs : basal half bright yellow, outer half dull greyish brown, with two 

 darker narrow lines crossing the wings, and which take their rise at the anal angle. 



Ihuid, thorax, and abdomen dark grey, variegated with taint browu marks. 



SrECIMEX 2. 



Forewings uniform dark brownish grey, with the transverse hairlike lines 

 almost obliterated. The transverse bar and the apical jwrtion of the wing beyond it 

 uniform deep brown. 



Hindwimjs orange j^ellow, with deep rufons bm-der, and only a sliglit indication 

 of the inner of the two transverse lines, the outer one being entirely absent. 



Head and body the same as in No. 1 . 



Expanse, 1'75 inches = 44'6 millim. 



DIODOSIDA. 



Dr. Staudiuger has distributed, under the name of Nephelc fulla.r, a very 

 large species of this genus. Its size can have been the only reason, for it is 

 absolutely unlike a Nephele in structure. I do not believe it has been published, 

 but as I am not sure, it may for the present stand as Diodosida fallax (Stand.)- 



I have the two followiug species to describe : — 



Diodosida uniforinis sp. nov. 

 ForetcitKjs uniform greyish blaclc, clouded with a numlier of indistinct 

 darker markings. 



Hindwinys dark olive brown. 



Head and thorax deep browuisli black. 



Abdomen clay brown, variegated witli dark hairs. 



Expanse, 2'2.t inches = 57 millim. 



Uab. Sierra Leone. 



Diodosida brunnea sj). nov. 



Forewiiufs rosy chocolate, powdered with grey scales, tind a large darker 

 chocolate and wedge-shaped blotch occupj'ing from tlic costa downwards nearly 

 the whole centre of the wing. There are also a number of nearly obliterated 

 marks of the same colour all over the wings. 



HindwingH redilish chocolate, becoming greyer towanls the anal angle. 

 Fringe of hindwiugs white. 



Head and thorax bright chocolate red. 



Abdomen gre}'. 



Expanse, 2 inches =: .jl millim. 



Hab. Namaqualand. 



TRIPTOGON. 

 Here we have several things to note. 



T. lyctus (Cram.) is the female of his T. yorgon, and therefore must sink 

 as a synonym.
