1920] Holland, Lepidoptera of the Congo 265 



The type, which is unique, was taken at Medje, June 26, 1910, and 

 is in The American Mueeum of Natural History. I take pleasure in 

 naming the species in honor of Mr. J. P. Chapin, one of the leaders 

 of the expedition. 



The species comes near M. ruhripuncta Hampson, but may be easily 

 distinguished from that species by the entire absence of the pale spots 

 and markings of the upper side of the primaries, the very strongly con- 

 trasting banding of the upper side of the abdomen, and the pale color 

 of the hind wings on the upper side. 



(493) 6. Metarctia species 



There are two specimens representing a very small species of the 

 genus, which may possibly be new to science, and which were taken at 

 Faradje, November 22, 1912. The specimens are, however, too badly 

 rubbed to permit either of identification or description. 



(494) 7. Metarctia species 



There is a single specimen bearing the label ''Avakubi, Lieut. 

 Boyton, 1908," which I find difficulty in referring to any species 

 hitherto described or figured. It is a male. Inasmuch, however, as the 

 specimen does not appear to be in prime condition, I refrain from at- 

 tempting to name or describe it, further than to say that the prevalent 

 color of the primaries is pale fawn, with obscure lighter discocellular 

 and postmedian markings on the primaries, and that it is a rather small 

 species, less than 40 mm. in expanse of wings.
