fieiv species oj African Lcpidoptera. 91 



very slightly near the outer margin to opaque scarlet. The base and the 

 inner margin are somewhat densely adorned with a vestiture of dusky hair. 

 The costal margin is heavily bordered with black, and the outer margin very 

 narrowly with the same colour. There is a row of small marginal spots dis- 

 posed upon the interspaces and fusing with the narrow outer border, and 

 causing the red area of the wing within to have a scalloped or crenelated 

 appearance. In addition to these markings there is at the end of the cell a 

 dusky bar, beyond the cell an interrupted transverse series of spots, one near 

 the costa, in some specimens fusing with the dark costal margin, two opposite 

 the cell, a pair upon the interspaces of the median uervules, and a pair upon 

 the inner margin, more or less obscured by the dusky hairs which clothe the 

 base. There is in addition a submarginal row of black spots, forming a 

 regular series, conformed in the line of curvature with the outer ipargin of 

 the wing. Under side. — Anterior wing : the under side of the anterior wing 

 differs from the upper side in that the black margin of the outer edge of the 

 wing is lacking, being simply represented by three obsolescent spots, one at 

 the outer angle, and two situated between the median nervules. The black 

 spots of the basal and limbal areas of the wings reappear upon the lower side, 

 and are larger and more distinct than upon the upper side, not coalescing at 

 all, and each being surrounded by a faint bluish white line. Posterior wing : 

 the posterior wing is heavily dusted with dark ferruginous scales, and the 

 markings of the upper side reappear very obscurely upon this side. 



5 . The female does not differ from the male, except that she is lighter 

 in colour, and the markings somewhat less distinct. Expanse of wings, 

 27—28 mm. 



Genus Terias, Sivains. 



T. MANDARINULA, Sp. nOV. 



Eecalling 2\ mandarina, De L'Orza, one of the autumnal 

 forms of Terias hecahe, Linn., as developed in Jaj)an. 



(? . Upper si(7e. — Lemon-yellow. The primaries have the apical margin 

 of the costa and the outer margin, as far as the first median nervule, bordered 

 narrowly with brown, darkest at the tips of the nervules. There is also a 

 small black spot at the inner angle. The secondaries have six minute black 

 spots at the tips of the nervules, but the submedian nervule is not thus orna- 

 mented in any of the specimens before me. Under side. — Primaries and 

 secondaries have the ends of the nervules tipped with brown. There is a 

 black spot in the middle and one at the end of the cell in the primaries, and 

 a niimber of waved and broken lines upon the secondaries. 



2 . The female is paler, and the markings are less distinct. Expanse of 

 wings, 35 mm. 



Three males and two females are included in the collection. 



HETEEOCEEA. 



Family LITHOSIID^, H.-S. 



Genus Sozuza, Wallgr. 



S. STEVENSii, sp. nov. 



$. Front, antennae, and eyes black. Top of head, collar, tegulae, 

 thorax, abdomen, and anterior wings, pale grey. Posterior wings lighter 

 "■rey. Anterior wings narrowly margined upon costa with black. The under 

 side is much as the upper, save that the anterior wings are shaded with 

 blackish beneath. Expanse of wings, 44 mm.
