 second sometimes marked with blackish; tlree large subdcft-sal 

 tufts : cilia ochreous-whitish mixed or suffused witn brownish. 

 Hindwings and cilia light grey. 



Fkench Congo, Ubangi and Fort Crampel ; eight specimens. 

 Pitliarclia chalinaea is closelj allied specifically to tliis, except for 

 the structural character of the separation of vein 9 of forewings, 

 and therefore I consider that this should be disregarded, and 

 Fitharcha merged in Hapsifera ; in that case the genus Dasyses 

 Durr. must also be included in Hapsifera.
