tinged with lilacine. Tlie legs are dark 

 brown with the tarsi white. Tlie primaries 

 are brown with the costal area tinged with 

 lilacine-gray. At the end of the cell are 

 two minute white spots. The apex near 

 the costa is tinged with black, and there is 

 a minute white spot upon the costa a short 

 distance from the apex. The marginal area 

 below the costa is covered by a broad whit- 

 ish sublunulate spot, protracted downwardly 

 along the outer margin, almost to the outer 

 angle. A fine dark brown or blackish sub- 

 basal line runs diagonally from the costa 

 outwardly to the lower edge of the cell, and 

 then is sharply retracted, terminating upon 

 the inner margin before the insertion of tlie 

 wing. Be^'ond the cell is a sharply defined 

 and curved black transverse line, convex 

 inwardly and abruptly retracted before its 

 termination on the costa. A similar fine 

 black line crosses the disk from the minute 

 white spot on the costa to the inner margin 

 a little before the outer angle. This line is 

 continued across the secondaries, termi- 

 nating upon the inner margin just before 

 the anal angle. On the under side, the 

 wings are dark lilacine-gray. The inner 

 margin of the primaries is stramineous 

 shining. The costa is paler gray. In the 

 cell of the primaries there is a round pale 

 gray mark just beyond the base, on the 

 middle of the cell a transverse linear mark 

 of the same color, and at the end of the eel! 

 another transverse linear mark slightly 

 curved and constricted at the middle. This 

 is followed bj a dark black transverse line 

 retracted on tlie costa and terminating in 

 the shining area, which borders the inner 

 margin. The outer margin is marked by 

 a broad black band swollen above the outer 

 angle and defined inwardly by a pale gray 

 line and outwardly by a chalky-white line. 

 The apex is black and the white subapical 

 mark, which appears on the upper surface, 

 reappears upon the lower side. The second- 

 aries have two small black dots at the end 

 of the cell, a transverse median black line. 



and a submarginal series of light dots upon 

 the nervules. The fringes are black, very 

 slightly margined externall}- with pale 

 fuscous. 



9- The female does not differ materially 

 from the male, except that the antennae are 

 simple, whereas, in the male, they are 

 heavily pectinated for the greater part of 

 their length. The body of the female is short 

 and stout and not clothed with a tuft of hair 

 at the extremity as in the male. The wings, 

 furthermore, are relatively broader, and in 

 some specimens, the discal spot at the end 

 of the cell of the primaries is large and 

 conspicuous. Expanse, $, 45 mm.; $, 48 

 mm. Habitat Kangwe. 



106. G. /«;-///«, Walk. ?. The male of 

 this species was described by Walker. The 

 female is different upon the upper surface, as 

 is revealed by the plate. On the under side 

 of the wings, the markings of the female are 

 identical with those of the male. The most 

 noticable difference in the case of the female 

 is the absence of the dark black markings on 

 the primaries and on the margin of the sec- 

 ondaries. This species, like the preceding, 

 is found in the valley of the Ogove. 



EUGOKNA, gen. nov. 



The palpi have the first joint short, the 

 second longer, densely clothed with hairs, 

 slightly curved upwardly, not quite reaching 

 the level of the vertex. The third joint is a 

 little more than half the length of the second, 

 slender, smoQth, and pointing directly 

 forward. The antennae of the male are long, 

 three-fourths the length of the costa of the 

 primaries, evenly doubly ciliate from the 

 base almost to the extremity. In the female 

 the antennae are simple. The legs are mod- 

 erately long; the tarsi naked, the femora and 

 tibiae of the first and second pair being 

 clothed with long hairs; of the last pair 

 being only sparingly clothed with hair. Tlie 

 last pair have double median and double ter-
