Ali(liiiiiiiiiil torgitcs not sjiinosc except iit edges. Forewiiig witlimit basal dot. 

 Eightli tcrgite and clasjior witli organ of friction. 



S. Body ccru-drab ; iialjjns somewhat darker, wasliod at the side witli rosy 

 red ; anterior coxa bullish ; antenna very strongly ciliated, the non-scaled lateral 

 and ventral surface wooil-browu, the segments deejjly impressed laterally, the base 

 jjrojecting also ventrally, the basal comb of ciliae being placed on a transverse 

 rounded carina, the antenna appearing therefore snbserrate in a lateral view. 



Wings, ((/jovf. Forewing ecrn-drab like the body, traversed by four lirown 



lines, the first crossing M at base of M-, slightly inclining costad, tlie second at that 

 of M\ straight, the third also straight to M", then curved distad, almost parallel 

 to the second, 8 mm. from base of M-, 3 mm. from lower angle of coll, fourth 

 line a little nearer line 3 than outer margin, slightly curving basad from 11' to 

 internal margin, 3 mm. distant from line 3 at M- and 4^ mm. from outer margin, 

 while the distances are respectively 5 and 5 mm. at R^, 5 and 8 mm. at SC ; apex 

 pointed, outer margin concave anteriorly, then convex, posteriorly straight, oblique, 



internal angle obtuse, internal margin shallowly sinuate distally. Hindwing 



orange-rufous, a very narrow blackish brown border, the brown scaling extended 

 along the veins, the border broader at and beyond M-, here ecru-drab, as is the 

 abdominal margin up to SM-, a brownish black submarginal line between M- and 

 SM-, almost interrupted at (SM'), the vestige of a second line proximally of tlie 

 submarginal one, a short tooth at M- and SM-. 



L'n(h'r.si(/e vinaceons-cinuamon, hindwing paler, both wings crossed by a discal 

 and a postdiscal line ; those of forewing slightly convex distally, being parallel to 

 the outer margin (apical lobe of wing excluded) and to each other, outer line 

 midway between outer margin and discal Hue, the latter T)' mm. from lower angle 

 of cell at R'. The discal line of hindwing distally concave in middle, being very 

 feebly curved, crossing R' li mm. from cell, postdiscal line slightly convex distally 

 in front, feebly concave jjosteriorly, standing at R' midway between outer margin 

 and discal line, distance 4\ mm.; at R-^ the distances are 3^ and 4 mm. respectively, 

 and at M- barely 3 mm. 



The tenth tergite (PI. XXV. f. 15, Jit) is rounded at the end, deeply concave 

 beneath, somewhat curved downward and slightly dilated before the apex, a little 

 spoon-shaped. The sternite (Xv) has a triangular, sharply pointed, mesial lobe. 

 Clasper (PI. XXXIII. f. 21) rounded at the end, both the dorsal and ventral edges 

 oblique distally ; the patch of friction-scales large, reaching to the apical and dorsal 

 margins, which are fringed with very short white scales, the friction-scales very 

 small, pointed, not close together, the area semi-transparent ; harpe with two 

 distal processes : the one ventral {pv), triangular ; the other (pm) snbmesial, 

 broad, inclining distad, sinuate, with the lobes rounded, the process proximally 

 concave, covered with short bristles ; this jjrocess pm stands in connection with a 

 weak longitudinal fold which is clothed with dispersed long hairs and ends basi- 

 dorsally in a spine-like process, which is much thinner than in carteri. Penis- 

 funnel short, strong, ventrally and dorsally sinuate, the lobes consequently lateral, 

 pointed ; penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 37) with an apical process whicli is more than 

 three times as long as the sheath is broad. 



?. A very badly damaged ? in the Berlin Museum from Usaramo, German 

 East Africa, may belong to this species. Antenna andromorphic ; anal angle of 

 hindwing less produced than in S, no lines on the underside of the wings, which 

 are rubbed.
