 four bands of terminal joint blackish. Abdomen dark grey, anal 

 tuft whitish-ochreous. Forewings narrow-lanceolate, long-pointed, 

 acute; dark brown irrorated with blackish and whitish-ochreous ; 

 a small cloudy blackish s])ot on costa at i ; a considerable blackish 

 luft edged posteriorly with ochreous-whitish beneath fold at | of 

 wing ; stigmata cloud)'', blackish, laterally edged with ochreous- 

 whitish suffusion, plical raised, obliquely beyond first discal ; an

Anatracliyntis tripola Meyr. 



Bred in October from larvie feeding in nest-material of a 

 wasp (Vespid) at Namiwawa, Zomba, Nyassaland {3Jason) ; three 

 epeoimens. 



Anatracliyntis stigmatophora "VYals. 



Pred from larvae feeding on seeds of Sorghum (Gi-aiuineae) 

 at Barbad_CkS (^BoveU) ; four specimens. 



TTie difference in larval habit and the additional material appears 

 to demonstrate that I was mistaken in regarding this and the 

 ])receding species as synonynrous. The markings of forewings 

 are practically identical, but this species can be distinguished 

 by having the abdomen of c? with first two segments and base 

 of third fulvous-ochreous, with whitish sides, rest blackish-grey 

 (in tripola wholly blackish); hindwings in J blackish with base 

 A\ bite, sending out a shoi't white suffused median streak ; palpi 

 with three rings each in second and terminal joints more or less 

 marked. These characters are not noticed in Lord Walsingham's 

 description. Considering the larval food and the near alliance 

 to an African species, I think it is still probable that the species 

 was introduced to the West Indies from Africa,
