 Chrysopoloma Druce 



(686) ]. Chryscpoloira rudis (Walker) 



Lasiocampa rudis Walker, 1865, List Lep. Het. B. M., XXXII, p. 561. Dewitz, 

 1881, Nov. Act. Acad. Nat. Cur., XLII, p. 79, PI. in, fig. 24. 



One male caught at Medje in July 1910. It agrees closely with 

 specimens in my collection, which were named upon comparison with 

 Walker's type. 



(687) 2. C hrysopoloma inspersa Hampson 



Chrysopoloma insperaa Hampsox, 1910, Proc. Zool. Soc. Londcn, p. 484, PI. xl, fig. 16. 

 A female caught at Faradje "1911-1912," and which corresponds 

 both with the description and figure given by Hampson, except that it is 

 slightly less in the expanse of the wings. 



(688) 3. Chrysopoloma nubila, new species 



9. Antenna" 3'ellowish; eyes dark brown; palpi, frons, legs, lower side of 

 thorax, and anterior edges of patagia darker than the adjacent parts; the posterior 

 half of the thorax on the upper side, and the entire abdomen reddi.sh fuscous. The 



fore wing on the upper side purplish gray, becoming darker toward the base, irrorated 

 with minute dark spots not much darker than the ground-color; a small suboval 

 semitransparent white spot at end of the cell, surrounded by a few darker scales; a 

 submarginal dark band running from the costa to the inner margin about four- 

 fifths of the lengthof the wing from the base, and parallel to the curved outer margin. 

 The hind wings have the same color as the fore wings, but are slightly paler, and 

 toward the base and the inner margin are slightly tinged with roseate; there is a 

 small white spot at the end of the cell like that on the fore wing, but more distinctly 

 annulated with dark scales; the submarginal dark l^and of the primaries is continued
