$ aud early stages not known. 



Hab. Atbara, Abyssinia. 



One c? {type) i» the British Museum ; anotlier i from Konaivry I., iu tlie 

 Paris Museum. 



The dorsal lobe of the clasper is in the Konakry specimen much longer tluin 

 ill that from Abyssinia and curved, and the dorsal edge of the clasper is dilated 

 mesiad in the middle. The ditl'erenee, which is very obvious, may lie indiviiliinl 

 or geographical. 



212. Polyptychus compar spec. nov. 



$. Similar to cnuJosa. Distinguished by the following characters : 



Mid- and hindtibiae brownish, with a conspicuous white basal spot. Wings, 



above. Forewing more vinaceous-grey, one basal dot instead of two ; stigma a 



small tawny ring filled up with bufl"; first discal line (and the two following ones, if 

 present) strongly curved costad in front ; distal margin less convex behind middle, 



not concave before angle, which is less prominent. Hindwing pale vinaceous- 



buff, longer than in andosa, apex more broadly rounded, distal margin more convex ; 

 fringe vinaceous, blackish behind, not spotted, longest scales white ; distal area 

 somewhat shaded with brown ; veins distally not conspicuously striped with brown. 



Underside nearly as in marskalli in colour. Forewing brownish distally, 



shaded with grey in distal marginal area, lines indistinct, a postdiscal one dentate, 



accentuated by vein-dots, followed by another series of very faint dots. Hindwing: 



first line touching apex of cell, indistinct, postdiscal line dentate, parallel to margin, 

 accentuated by vein-dots, much more curved than in cmdosa ; W shorter than D'. 



In the tijpe the lines more distinct and the aj)ex of the forewing less produced 

 tlian in a second specimen, which has a brown streak in the middle before the 

 abdominal margin of the hindwing above. 



Clasper and eiglith tergite witliont friction-scales. Tenth tergite large, broad, 

 longitudinally concave above, apex divided into three lobes (PI. XXV. f. 12. 13) : the 

 middle lobe narrow, sinuate or truncate, with parallel sides, directed ventrad ; 

 side-lobes broad, somewhat twisted, rounded. Clasper short (PI. XXXI II. f. 23), 

 dorsal margin sinuate before end, ventral margin rounded distally, sinuate beyond 

 middle owing to the harpe jirojecting ventrad ; a iiromineut subdorsal fold, beset 

 with long bristles ; ventral part of harpe subprismatical, concave, ujiper edge 

 raised ; an oblique ridge extending dorsad, raised mesially into a large triangular 

 tooth ; proxiraally of this tooth there is a large, feebly chitinised, setose cone. 

 Penis-funnel (v-v) deejdy and broadly unisinuate ventrally, dorsally trisinuate, the 

 mesial sinus small ; penis-sheath witli a curved longitudinal furrow ; no process, 

 but apical margin with a multidentate belt all round (PI. XXX. f. 33a. 33b). 



? and early stages not known. 



Hab. Mashonaland. 



Two c?<? in the British Museum, one (type) from Salisbury, October 19u0 

 (Marshall), the other from Umtali. 



213. Polyptychus coryndoni spec. nov. (PI. II. f. 7, S). 



i. Tongue rather strong, visible between the palpi ; the joint of these o])en. 

 Antenna subserrate ventrally (PI. LX. f 20). Spurs not spiny, long one of 

 midtibia more than twice as long as the tibia is broad. Cross-veins of hindwing as 

 in carteri ; distal margins of forewings not dentate, apex produced, middle convex.
