(527) 3. -ffigocera obliqua ^Nlabille 



JEgocera obliqua Mabille, 1893, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique, XXXVII, p. 56. Jordan, 

 1913, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XV, Pis. in/, ing. 



Four examples: two rubbed females taken at Aledje, one in May, 

 the other in September; two males, one caught at Munie Katoto, 

 September 10, 1909, the other at Niangara, March 21, 1913. 



ScHAUsiA Karsch 



(528) 1. Schausia transiens (Jordan ?) 



In the copy of Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XV, PI. lie, there is figured 

 a form of Schausia to which the specific name transiens is applied on the 

 plate. Unfortunately in my copy of the work so far as received the text 

 only extends to and includes page 14. I have therefore no means of 

 running down the author of this specific name and have failed to detect 

 it by a close search of the Zoological Record. The Lang-Chapin Col- 

 lection contains one specimen of this form taken at Meclje in August. I 

 have other specimens taken in Cameroon, which have been awaiting 

 determination or description. It is verj' near S. gladiatoria Holland, but 

 larger and the basal white spot on the primaries on the upper side is 

 different in form and location. 



Massagidia Hampson 



(529) 1. Massagidia hesparia (Cramer) 

 Geometra hesparia Cramer, 1775, Pap. Exot., I, PI. lvi, fig. C. 

 Massagidia hesparia Hampson, 1901, Cat. Lep., Phal., Ill, p. 645, fig. d'. 



There is a male which I refer to this species. It was taken at INIedje 

 in the first week of September 1910. The white mesial band of the 

 secondaries is a trifle broader than in Hampson's figure. 



Noctuidse 



Hadeninae 



CiRPHis Walker 



(530) 1. Cirp his prominens (Walker) (?) 



Lexicania prominens VJai^kkr, 1856, List Lep. Het. B. M., IX, p. 102. 

 Cirphis prominens Hampson, 1905, Cat. Lep., Phal., V, p. 487. 



With considerable doubt I refer to this species a specimen taken 

 at Boma, June 23, 1909. It is very near C. pronmiens, but shows differ- 

 ences which might justify its description as an hitherto undescribed 

 species, but with only one individual liefore me, and that not in the best 

 of case, I do not feel justified in describing it as new.
