WfJST AFRICAN LEPIDOPTKRA. 57 



As no figure of this beautiful little insect has ever been published 

 I give one in order to facilitate the labors of future students. The 

 only specimen in my collection was taken at Kangwe, and is singu- 

 larly fresh. Whether it is a bred specimen I have no means of 

 determining. 



PSEUDESfYO geu. nov. 



Having a superficial resemblance to the American genus Enyo 

 Hiib. The abdomen is relatively shorter than in Enyo, broad, some- 

 what abruptly rounded off behind and flattened on the ventral as- 

 pect as in Aellopus, Thyreus and some other Macroglossine genera. 

 Vestiture of the head, thorax and abdomen smooth, silky, forming 

 a low, narrow crest upon the head between the insertion of the an- 

 tennte, and in the male })roduced in the form of an anal tuft, and 

 lateral peucils upon the sides of the last four ventral segments. In 

 the female the anal tuft and the pencils of hairs upon the sides of 

 the abdomen are wanting or but feebly developed. The palpi are 

 densely clothed with long sitky hair, j^roduced, subconic, appressed, 

 very much as in Lophura. The antennae are of medium length, 

 almost uniform thickness throughout, slender and gently recurved 

 at extremity, very minutely toothed in the male, slenderer and en- 

 tirely without teeth in the female. Legs in both sexes alike, un- 

 armed, except for the usual spurs of the middle and hind tibiae, the 

 forelegs shortei- than the others, with subcylindrical tih'ive, the middle 

 and hind legs with flattened tibise and femora. 



Primaries relatively of normal length, the apex truncated and 

 slightly excavated, the outer margin veiy slightly toothed save at 

 the extremity of the disco-central nervule where it is strongly pro- 

 duced. Inner margin of the outer half deeply concave, on the inner 

 half convex. 



Secondaries narrow, rounded at apex ; anal angle produced, 

 broad, obtuse. Type — P.seudenyo Benitensls.

 side of abdomen, spines on tibise tipped minutely with white Upperside. — 

 Primdries brown, with a purplish cast, the basal half paler than the rest of the 

 wing, with a somewhat broad shade of brown ou the costa near the base, followed 

 by two irregular and somewhat indistinct dark lines running from the costa
