same coloiir as the body of the wings. Under side. — Both wings are marked 

 as upon the upper surface, but are paler, and the marginal maculations are

Family COSSID^. 

 Genus Duomitus, Butl. 



D. KILIMANJARBNSIS, Sp. nOV. 

 (^ . Antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen, dark cinereous. Upper side. 

 — Anterior wing wood-brown, darkest on the costa near the base. The wing 

 is profusely mottled with small brown spots, and is crossed beyond the cell 

 by a broad band of very dark brown, which does not touch the costa, nor 

 quite reach the inner edge. This baud is split by a wedge of very pale brown 

 at the end nearest the inner margin. The wing is further ornamented by an 

 interrupted irregular siibmargiual baud of brown. The posterior wing is 

 paler in colour than the anterior. The limbal area of this wing is ornamented 

 by spots growing darker and heavier towards the outer margin. Near the 

 outer angle these spots are fused, so as to form a v-shaped mark. Under 

 side. — Upon the imder side the wings are darker than upon the upper side, 

 and the same mai'kings reappear, but heavier and more sharply defined. 

 Expanse of wings, 58 mm. 



The type is unique. 



Family HEPIALID^, H.-S. 

 Genus Hepialus, Fahr. 

 H. KENi^, sp. nov. 

 5 . Antennae, head, thorax, and body, with legs, brown. The region of 

 the metathorax is heavily clothed with pale cinereous hairs. Upper side. — 

 Anterior wings wood-brown. About the middle of the costa there are three 

 dark brown spots. Above the cell, about one-third of the way from the base, 

 is a large pale spot, slightly clouded with brownish in the centre. A smaller 

 oval spot of like colour appears in the cell near its end. Above the end of the 

 cell tliere are two small silvery sagittate marks, with their points directed in 

 opposite directions, and partly overlapping each other. The larger arrow, 

 which has its broad end toward the outer border of the wing, is immediately 

 followed by a short curved band of brown spots, bordered inwardly and out- 

 wardly by pale cmerous. This short band is followed by a larger submarginal 

 band of similar spots, extending from near the apex to before the outer angle. 

 There are also two comma-shaped streaks below the cell on the inner margin, 

 enclosing between them a dark circular spot, bordered by lighter cinereous. 

 The posterior wings are uniformly fuliginous grey, and so also is the entire 

 under surface of both wings. Expanse of wings, 50 mm.
