﻿198 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Fore wing pale brownish ochreous, very finely (along costa 

 coarsely and more densely) speckled with fuscous, the costal region 

 to SC somewhat deeper and brighter ochreous, inner-marginal area 

 also somewhat clouded : a large, somewhat diamond-shaped purple- 

 fuscous discal spot, blacker at edges, and a moderately broad distal 

 border of a somewhat darker, more reddish tone, irregularly dusted 

 with purple-fuscous, this dusting sparse in distal half, but concen- 

 trated in proximal into a somewhat interrupted purplish band from 

 SC to inner margin (weakest between radials), followed by some 

 tooth-shaped dark markings between the veins ; the sinus between 

 R'^ and M^ common to most of the genus, is present though not 

 very deep ; a very fine sinuous ferruginous-fuscous line precedes the 

 border; terminal dark line slightly interrupted ; fringe pale brownish 

 ochreous. Hind wing similar, the purplish half-band in distal area 

 somewhat weaker. Under side similar, more thinly scaled, almost 

 unmarked excepting the cell-spots and submarginal band, which are 

 rather deeper purple ; costa nearly as above; marginal band ochreous, 

 not reddish-tinted. 



Selukwe, October, 1911 ; type in coll. L. B. Prout. Three other 

 males, worn, but recognizable (by their colour, large discal spots, 

 &c.), October, 1911, and March, 1912; also in coll. L. B. Prout. 

 Victoria Falls, February 20th, 1911 (L. A. Sabine), male in coll. 

 L. B. Prout. Salisbury, Mashonaland, March, 1899, February, 

 1900, and March, 1905 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; Fort Jameson to 

 Lundazi, N.E. Ehodesia, 4000 ft., June 14th, 1910 (S. A. 

 Neave) ; all in coll. Brit. Mus. Female still unknown. 



Perhaps rather near ochrata, Warr. (Novit. Zool. ix. 518), 

 from British East Africa, but larger, without basal patch and 

 median shade, and with other differences. 



Zamarada ignicosta, n. sp. 



3' , 27 mm. Face, crown, and proximal half of antennal shaft 

 pale ochreous, almost entirely covered with bright rufous speckling. 

 Palpus, antenna distally, and collar pale ochreous. Thorax and abdo- 

 men above mostly covered with bright rufous and violet, the former 

 with a narrow anterior band concolorous with costa of fore wing, the 

 latter with paler mediodorsal spots. 



Wings hyaline, very pale greenish, with iridescent reflections ; a 

 rather faint but coarse speckling or short singulation of reddish 

 brown, denser at inner margin. Fore wing with costal margin 

 reddish ochreous much mixed with bright red and sprinkled with 

 minute lustrous bluish-silvery scales. Both wings with indistinct 

 dark discal dot and rather narrow distal border, formed and coloured 

 about as in the Indian translucida, Moore, bounded proximally by 

 a deeper red line and traversed by an interrupted, dentate silvery 

 line, which encloses proximally within some of its teeth subtriangular 

 red spots of a deeper red colour than the ground of the border ; traces 

 of other silvery lines proximally and distally to the dentate line. 

 Fringe reddish, darkest opposite the veins ; a sprinkling of minute 

 silvery scales. Under side with the border present, but duller ; no 

 lustrous scales.
