costa buif-coloured at base aud again toward apex. Subapical bar white. 



Hindwing : basal and middle portions darker green, considerably paler in discal 

 area. A row of ver}' faint greenish snbinarginal sjiots in internervnlar spaces 

 of distal margin. Inner margin and internal and snbmedian nervures covered 

 with bnff-colonred hairs. Fringe blackish, dotted with white, especially at apex 

 of forewiug.

1 ?, Ugaia, Sonth Kavirondo, January 1003. 



This remarkable little species resembles to some extent E. efciis Drnry as 

 regards its npperside, while its underside seems to bring it nearer forms like 

 E. Uganda Auriv. 



IT. Diestogyna hobleyi spec. nov. 



Dnsky olive-brown with yellow markings. 



Upperside. Forewing dnsky olive-brown, shaded with black scales. 



Crossing middle of discoidal eell a pair of black streaks outlined in yellow ; at 

 extremity of cell a similar pair. Beyond extremity of cell an oblique, yellow^ 

 rather narrow bar extending from subcostal uervure to second median nervnle. 

 Nearer the apex aud forming the other side of a triangle of which the costa is 

 the base is a row of five white spots, the first above subcostal nervure, the 

 last between third radial aud first median uervules. Dark internervnlar streaks 

 join the two sides of the triangle. Parallel with distal margin from a point close 

 to apex to posterior angle is a dnsky black submarginal stripe interrupted some- 

 what by crossing uervules near apex. Hindwing: Base to just beyond end 



of cell, inner and distal margins dusky olive-browu. Dark linear shading at 

 extremity of cell. A large patch of an ochreous buff' colour fills the discal half 

 of the wing nearer costa. A double row forming irregular dusky streaks, of 

 which the outer is best defined, crosses the outer discal portion of the wing. 



Fringe olive-browu, a white spot at apex and posterior angle of fore- 

 wing, a few small white dots on distal marginal fringe, internervnlar on forewing, 

 on extremity of nervules on hindwing. 



Underside. Chestnut-brown, with costa, apex, posterior angle of forewing 



and whole of hindwing except distal margin shaded with grey ; oblique bar on 

 forewing white. JIarkings of upper^ide where present paler. Inner margin of 

 forewing pale olive-brown. On hindwing an irregular line crosses basal portion 

 just beyond extremity of cell, and a row of seven small white spots crosses 

 discal area. 



Expanse : o'J mm. 



1 ? (?) captured by Mr. Holiley at Kisumu, no data, kindly lent me for 

 description by Mr. Roland Trimen. 



A single specimen also in British Mnseum from the Congo, rather smaller 

 and with subapical yellow bar smaller and less defined.
