 Megadrepana cinerea Holland, 1893, Ent. News, IV, p. 177, PI. ix, fig. 4. 



A single male specimen, taken at Medje, September 27, 1910. 

 It agrees with the tj^pe, except that it is ruddier in color than the 

 type, which is cold gray. It seems to be only a slight color-variet3% and 

 I discover that it does not differ materially from similar specimens be- 

 longi ng to a long suite of the species, which we have recently received 

 from the interior of Cameroon. 



Lasiocampidse 



The Lasiocampidge of Africa are a wonderful group of insects, com- 

 prising numerous genera and a multitude of species, which, on account 

 of the great difference between the sexes both in size and markings, pre- 

 sent much difficulty to the student who has not had the opportunity to 

 breed the insects. As a rule the males are much smaller than the females, 

 the latter in some genera being huge moths, while the males are quite 

 small. Unfortunately the collection upon which I am reporting contains 

 only two specimens, and both of these in defective condition. They 

 each seem to represent species which have not hitherto been described. 

 Of one of them I have good specimens from Cameroon and am able 

 therefore to describe the insect. Of the other I have never seen speci- 

 mens, and no description occurring in the literature of the subject seems 

 to fit it. I am therefore constrained to leave it until by some good 

 chance better material turns up. 



Leipoxais Holland 



(685) 1. Leipoxais punctulata, new species 



Plate XIV: Figure 1, cf; Figure 2, 9 

 cf. The color of the body and wings is a moderately deep, reddish brown; 

 the eyes are dark brown; the posterior margin of the thorax is marked by some 

 greenish hoary hairs. The under side of the body is of the same color as the upper side, 

 inclined to be a trifle lighter at the anal extremity, especially in the case of the male 

 sex; the legs, which are heavily clothed with hair, are of the same color as the body, 

 but marked with a minute white point at the end of the tibiae. The fore wings are 

 crossed by a very irregular subbasal band composed of pale greenish gray sublunulate 

 minute spots, followed by a somewhat lighter spot located in the cell beyond its 

 middle; this spot is succeeded by a very irregular median band of similar light spots 

 running from the costa to the inner margin, a light spot near the end of the cell form- 

 ing one of the spots of this series. Immediately beyond the end of the cell are two 

 faint parallel longitudinal spots. On the limbal area of the wing there is an irregularly
