of a liroader snlniiarginal (Hie, tlie latti'V more distinct beliiiid, fVinge black at oiids 

 of ])Ostei'i()r veins. 



Undermlc dirty wood-brown, markings ii)cons])icuons. Forewing : a brownish 



black snbapical patch bordered distally by a grey line, this patch extended generally 

 to internal margin, forming an ill-defined submarginal band, discal dentate line 

 vestigial, a second line nearer cell very feebly marked, costal area beyond cell more 



or less obviously whitish grey. Hindwing : a discal and a postdiscal dentate line, 



the former at apex of cell ; submarginal area clouded with black scales, costal and 

 abdominal areas more or less whitish grey. 



i. Tentli abdominal tergite (PI. XXV. f. 2.']) subtriangular, broadly rounded at 

 the end ; sternite with a triangular mesial lobe (A';). (Jlasper with a subdorsal 

 patch of bristles on the inner surface, the bristle.s pointing jiroximad and dorsad ; 

 apex of clasper rounded ilorsally, less so ventrally ; harpo (PI. XXXII. f. 19) nearly 

 as in Leucophlchia (tfra, reaching almost end of clasper, with a ventral projection 

 before the apex, which has the shape of a rounded lobe. Penis-sheath with a short 

 conical tooth jwinting laterad (PI. XXX. f. 45). 



? . Rather larger than S ; markings more pronounced. 



Length of forewing : S , ~3 — 24 mm. ; ?, 30 mm.

(S ? . Tongue reduced to two short lobes or tubercles. Palpus small, but visible 

 from above, rough-scaled, second segment not much longer than broad (scaling 

 included), joint open. (Antennae very different in the two species). Abdominal 

 tergites s{)inose all over. Tibiae sj/inose ; foretibia very short, armed at end with 

 long thorn and a short tooth, s[)ur without distinct fringe ; spurs of mid- and hind- 

 tibia slender, one pair to hindtibia, longer spur not quite half the length of the 

 first tarsal segment, this as long as segments 2 to 4 together ; pulvillus present, 

 paronychium without ventral lobes. Distal margins of wings entire; lower angle 

 of cell of hindwing acute. Clasper and eighth tergite without friction-scales. 



Early stages not known. 



Hab. British East Africa and Aliyssinia. 



Tlie two s])ecies differ considerably in several resj)ects, and will proliably come 

 under diflerent generic terms when better material of heugliid is at disposal. The 

 two individuals of heuijlini — the only onesi known — are so badly preserved that we 

 abstain from making a separate genus for their reception. The differential characters 

 oi hemjlini and mira are given under the respective species.
