below the apex. On the under side both 

 wings are dark fuscous with no traces of the 

 transverse median bands. Expanse, $ 58 

 mm.; $ 75 mm. Habitat Kangwe and 

 Benita. 



This species differs somewhat in the 

 ground color. Some of the males before 

 me are much paler than the type. 



17S. L. leucofhaea, sp. nov. J. Front, 

 collar, and thorax dark vandyke brown ; 

 upper side of abdomen paler, inclining at 

 anal extremity to hoary-gray. The legs 

 and lower side of thorax and abdomen dark 

 vandyke brown. Upper side : The prim- 

 aries at the base are dark vandyke brown 

 marked with a few bright ferruginous scales. 



The outer margins are lilacine-gray. 

 There is a small silvery dot at the end of 

 the cell. The wing is further ornamented by 

 geminate sub-basal and geminate transverse 

 median angulated lines of obscure blackish 

 and a submarginal series of pale ochraceous 

 denticulate lines running from the apex to 

 the inner margin before the outer angle. 

 The secondaries are broadly vandyke brown 

 on the costa with the remainder of the 

 wing uniformly pale vandyke brown, shad- 

 ing into grayish on the outer margin. 

 Under side : Both wings are uniformly pale 

 grayish-brown. The secondaries have the 

 fringes, which are narrow, pale gray, and 

 the inner margin a trifle lighter than the 

 rest of the wing. Expanse, 48 mm. 



179. L. lutesce?is, sp. nov. $. Allied to 

 the preceding species, from which it may be 

 distinguished by its uniformly smaller size, 

 warmer coloration, and the invariable pres- 

 ence of a broad patch of yellow on the inner 

 margin near the outer angle and a smaller 

 patch of yellow near the base about the 

 origin of the first median nervule; also by 

 the invariable presence of several silvery 

 white lunulate markings on the primaries 

 below the apex; otherwise this species does 

 not materially differ from the preceding. 



?. The female is marked almost precisely 

 like the male, but is much larger, the pre- 

 valent color being a warm pinkish-brown. 

 Expanse, $ 45 mm. ; $ ,5- mm 



I have a good series of this species ex 

 larva. They emerged from the cocoon in 

 the latter part of August and early Sep- 

 tember, having pupated between July 28th 

 and August 17th. I shall in a future paper 

 furnish a full description of the larvae. 



180. L. minima, sp. nov. J. Front, 

 collar, and upper side of the thorax warm 

 reddish-brown. Upper side of abdomen pale 

 pinkish-brown; legs and under side of the 

 body pale pinkish brown, the anterior margins 

 of the legs being marked with dark brown. 

 Upper side : The primaries are pale pinkish- 

 brown of the same color as the upper side of 

 the abdomen with a dark brown band of the 

 same color as the upper side of the thorax 

 extending obliquely from the costa at the 

 base to the outer angle. The apical third 

 of the wing below the costa is clouded with 

 the same dark brown color. There is a 

 small silvery spot at the end of the cell, and 

 very narrow and obscure angulated trans- 

 verse basal, median, limbal, and submar- 

 ginal lines. The secondaries are pale 

 pinkish brown of the same shade as the 

 upper side of the abdomen and have an 

 obscure incomplete transverse median line 

 on the costa. On the under side, both wings 

 are pale pinkish-brown, the dark lines of the 

 upper surface reappearing very faintly and 

 obscurely upon this side. Expanse, 30 mm. 



SATURNIIDAE. 



Cyrt()(,onk, Walk. 



1S1. C. licheiiodcs, sp. nov. J. Front 

 and collar dark brown ; patagia vandyke 

 brown sprinkled with hoary scales. The 

 middle of the thorax and the upper side of 

 the abdomen are whitish, hoary, marked 

 with a line of black spots on the dorsal line
