bous, smooth with scattered strong punctures ; legs ferruginous, includ- 

 ing coxag, with short white hair ; spurs ferruginous ; tegulre large, 

 shining rufo-fulvous ; wings slightly dusky, darker apically, stigma 

 and nervures piceous ; b. n. going a little basad of t. m. ; marginal 

 cell obliquely truncate, appendiculate ; both recurrent nervures enter- 

 ing second s. m., the second as far from first as the first from base of 

 second s. m. ; abdomen shining clear ferruginous, the first two seg- 

 ments with a purple iridescence ; white hair-patches at sides of second

Easily known from M. dichroa by the small size, clearer 

 wings, etc. 



Hab. — Bohotle, Somaliland, Africa ( Vety. Major A. F. 

 Appleton) . British Museum. The M. dichroa mentioned 

 above is Smith's species, but it seems that there is an earlier 

 M. dichroa (Spinola), of which carnifex Gerst., is a synonym ; 

 consequently Schulz renamed Smith's insect, which, accept- 

 ing the priority of Morgania, must stand as Morgania ger- 

 stackeri (Schulz).

Crocisa guineensis Rad. 



Sierra Leone, W. Africa, Nov., 1904 {Major F. Smith). 

 British Museum. 

 Crocisa prajtexta Vachal. 



Lagos, W. Africa {H. Strachan). British Museum. 



The above two species of Crocisa agree with the too brief 

 descriptions of the species to which they are attributed. 

 They are very much alike, and also very like C. picta, but 

 evidently distinct. The following characters (based on fe- 

 males) may be added to those previously published. 



C. guineensis . — Hind wings evidently infuscated apically ; abdomi- 

 nal markings turquoise-blue ; hind margin of prothorax with an inter- 

 rupted band of light blue hair, the adjacent parts of mesothorax black 

 haired. 



C. prcstexta. — Hind wings scarcely infuscated apically ; abdominal 

 markings very pale blue ; the two large bluish-white marks of thorax 

 anteriorly partly on prothorax and partly on mesothorax.
