I am greatly indebted to Dr. A. Donaldson Smith for the privi- 
lege of adding to my collection of African moths all the specimens 
which he collected during his extensive travels. Unfortunately 
many of the smaller species have been more or less injured, and 
in some instances the wings are so thoroughly denuded of scales 
that it is impossible to determine them correctly. The collection, 
though quite limited in extent, contains several species which are 
new to science, and it gives me great pleasure to describe them in 
the following pages. 
SUB-ORDER HETEROCERA. 
FAMILY AGARISTID. 
GENUS XANTHOSPILOPTERYX, Wallengren. 
X.smithii,sp.nov. d¢. In the form of the markings of the pri- 
maries, this species recalls Y. superba, Butl., though differing in the 
shape of the antebasal spots, which form a macular band from the 
costal limits of the cell to vein 1. The color is wholly different, re- 
calling more nearly the coloration of X. ¢zzcongruens, Butl. The light 
spots on the primaries are pale stramineous. The secondaries are 
ochreous orange, the black marginal band being of the same form 
as in X. superba. On the under side, the secondaries near the 
inner margin are slightly laved with reddish over the orange. The 
abdomen is yellow, somewhat narrowly banded with black on its 
dorsal aspect, with three rows of white spots on the ventral aspect, 
one on each side, and one on the ventral line. The abdomen is fur- 
nished with an orange tuft at the anal extremity. The legs are
