﻿654 Prof. Mario Bezzi's Report on a Collection oj 



there is whitish tomentum. Venter black, the first segment reddish, 

 clothed with short whitish hairs ; spines of the female genitalia 

 yellowish red. Legs black, the tibiae reddish, with black pubescence 

 and black spines ; hind claws with a very small tooth. Wings 

 blackish brown, the apex broadly hyaline ; the limit of the black 

 marking runs outwards from the end of the costal cell over the apex 

 of the first sub-marginal to the apex of the third posterior cell at the 

 hind margin. There are less distinct pale clouds on the apex of the 

 discal cell, on the third and fourth posterior cells and on the middle 

 of the anal cell ; the axillar cell is entirely hyaline ; the large hya- 

 line spot in the second basal cell is very conspicuous. Basal comb 

 of a dark reddish colour and with black pubescence. Origin of the 

 second longitudinal vein a little before the small cross- vein, which 

 is placed at the middle of the discal cell ; first posterior cell very 

 narrow in its whole length and narrowed at the end; second and 

 third of about equal width at the apex, the fourth being broader ; 

 discal cell very pointed outwardly, the vein between it and the 

 second basal cell being sinuous ; this last cell is in shape an almost 

 regular rhomb, the vein dividing it from the third being almost 

 straight, not sinuous as in H. vittata. The wings are longer than 

 in the allied species. 



A single specimen, without head, from Nyasaland, Dowa 

 (Dr. J. E. S. Old). 



78. Hypcralonia sisi/phus, Fabricius (1805). 



A very distinct species, not recognised as Hypcralonia 

 in the Catalogues. 



My H. alula (1906) from Erythraea is an allied species, 

 characterised by the argenteous bands on the abdomen 

 and the brown clouds on the wings. 



Six specimens from North Nyasa, Deep Bay to Vua, and 

 Bundi village, Fuliwa, May 13-14, 1909 {Dr.J.B.Davcy); 

 two other specimens from Fort Johnston, June 12, 1910 

 {Dr. A. H. Barclay).
