 secondaries are fuscous, slightly darker at the 

 anal angle. On the under side both wings 

 are fuscous, the primaries clouded with darker 

 fuscous on the costa near the base, and 

 crossed by an incomplete transverse limbal 

 line of pale fuscous. The secondaries are 

 crossed by incomplete parallel median and 

 limbal transverse bands of dark fuscous. 

 Expanse, 38 mm. 



Maguza, Walk. 



My friend, Dr. Frederic Moore of London, 

 has assured me that the following species is 

 correctly referred to Walker's genus Maguza, 

 which was erected for the reception of a South 

 American species. A close microscopical 

 study of its neuration shows great similarity 

 to that of the preceding genus, Dinotodonta, 

 the most marked difference being the fact 

 that the lower branch of the inferior vein in 

 the primaries does not diverge as in Dinoto- 

 donta, but coalesces after its origin with the 

 main vein a short distance beyond the base. 

 The form of the wings is also different, being 

 relatively shorter and broader in the case of 

 the primaries and without lobes on the inner 

 margin, and in the secondaries having the 

 costa evenly rounded or arched from the base 

 to the apex, and the outer margin evenly 

 rounded. The legs are also much shorter 

 than in the preceding genus, and hairy. 

 The neuration again suggests as in the case 

 of the preceding genus a relationship to the 

 Notodonts in that vein five in the primaries 

 springs from the middle of the cell.

 pale cinereous on the lower side; upper side 

 of palpi, front, and collar dark brown ; pata- 

 gia dark brown, margined externally with 

 paler brown. Upper side of thorax and 

 abdomen fuliginous. . Anal tuft pale ochra- 

 ceous. Lower side of thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs pale gray. The primaries on the upper 

 side are light wood-brown with the outer 

 third vandvke brown this outer area being 



traversed by a pale cinereous line, and sepa- 

 rated from the inner area by a narrow regu- 

 larly curved pale ochraceous line defined 

 inwardly and outwardly by very narrow 

 darker lines. Just within this defining line a 

 little below the costa is a patch of dark 

 brown, within which is a minute whitish 

 ocellus. There is a broad curved sub-basal 

 band of vandyke brown crossing the lighter 

 inner area besides a few spots and longitud- 

 inal streaks of slightly darker brown between 

 this sub-basal band and the pale ochraceous 

 line which defines the dark outer area in- 

 wardly and two black dots bear the costa 

 just beyond the base. The secondaries are 

 uniformly fuscous with the costal area testa- 

 ceous, shining. On the under side both 

 wings are pale fuscous, each crossed by a 

 paler tranverse limbal band defined inwardly 

 and outwardly by parallel darker shades. 

 The secondaries have an obscure discal dot.

Maguza Africana, Holl. T 1. 



Macrosenta, gen. nov. 



The neuration of the wings is almost iden- 

 tical with that of the preceding genus. The 

 abdomen is, however, relatively much 

 longer, and in fact projects for half of its 

 entire length beyond the posterior margin of 

 the secondaries. It is long, slender, and 

 tapering, being provided with a slight bunch 

 of hairs. The palpi are long, produced; the 

 second joint viewed laterally is elliptical in 

 outline; the third joint is elongated, conical, 

 and bent outwardly from the axis of the 

 body; the first and second joints are com- 

 pressed. The antennae are filiform. The 

 legs are relatively long and moderately
