band at the liase, which is so conspicuous in 

 eucUdicola Furthermore, the white lines 

 forming the V-shaped mark, which are con- 

 spicuous in eucUdicola, in Benitensis do not 

 make an acute angle with each other at the 

 inner margin, but are separated at the apex 

 of the V and fuse with a pale line, or band, 

 which borders the inner margin, running 

 from the base along the whole length of the 

 margin to the outer angle. In other respects 

 this species closely resembles eiiclidicola. 

 Expanse, 45 mm. Habitat Benita. 



60. G. pmilla, sp. nov. $. Front pale 

 brown. Thorax and abdomen above and 

 below very pale ochraceous. The primaries 

 are creamy-white, marked by two conspicuous 

 triangular black spots upon the middle of 

 the wing, distinctly separated from each 

 other bv a narrow band of the prevalent 

 light ground color of the wing. The inner- 

 most of these spots forms a scalene triangle 

 with its base parallel to the inner margin. 

 The outermost spot has its base toward the 

 costa, the base being slightly concave. The 

 apex points to the outer angle; the sides 

 are nearly equal. The tnargin is slightly 

 clouded with pale wood-brown, and is 

 marked by a number of minute transverse 

 brownish dashes on the interspaces. The 

 fringes are pale, tipped slightly with fuscous^ 

 The secondaries are uniformly creamy-white 

 with the margin and fringes as on the prim- 

 aries. On the under side both wings are pale 

 creamy, immaculate. J . The female is like 

 the male. Expanse, 25 mm.

6l. T. binaria, sp. nov. $. Front and 

 collar fuscous. Upper side of thorax and 

 abdomen fawn Lower side of thorax and 

 abdomen paler. Legs concolorous with the 

 anterior margins of the first two pairs dark 

 brown. The primaries on the upper side 

 are argillaceous laved on the co^ta and the 



outer margin with grayish. There is a 

 small round discal dot at the end of the 

 cell and below the cell are two dark black 

 subtriangular spots with their bases toward 

 the costa and their apices toward the inner 

 margin The spots coalesce with each other 

 on the line of their bases just below the dis- 

 cal spot at the end of the cell. They are mar- 

 gined externally on the sides of the inner 

 and outer margins with a narrow pale 

 creamy line. There is a dark brownish 

 subapical shade just beyond the outermost 

 spot and some indistinct submarginal 

 cloudings near the outer angle. The mar- 

 gin is marked with ininute brown spots 

 on the interspaces. The fringes are con- 

 colorous. The secondaries are argillaceous 

 clouded with fuscous near the base and on 

 the outer margin, especially in the neighbor- 

 hood of the outer angle. The fringes on the 

 secondaries are paler than on the primaries. 

 On the under side, the primaries are pale 

 argillaceous marked with an obscure discal 

 spot, and crossed from the costa by an 

 incomplete transverse limbal and a broader 

 transverse submarginal band of dark fuscous. 

 The secondaries are uniformly pale argilla- 

 ceous, inclining to ochraceous.

 the male. Expanse, $ and ? , 43 to 46 mm. 

 Habitat, Gaboon and Cameroons. 



62. T. inornata, sp. nov. J. Closely 

 resembling the preceding species, for which 

 the description given will suffice, save that 

 the primaries on the upper side entirely 

 lack the two very conspicuous dark black 

 triangular spots on the median area and 

 the secondaries on the under side possess 

 an obscure discal dot at tlie end of the cell, 

 and are crossed beyond the cell by an incom- 

 plete transverse median band. The prima- 

 ries are marked on the upper side by a dark 

 transverse submarginal shade, running diag- 

 onally from the apex to the inner margin 

 two-thirds of the distance from the base. 



5. The female is marked like the male. 

 Expanse, $ and ? , 42 to 45 mm.
