78 Mr. Hamilton H. Druce’s Descriptions 
Family LYCANIDA. 
Telipna rogersi, sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 2.) 
$. Upper-side : dull red, with the costa, cell, apex and outer margin 
of fore-wing and outer margin of hind-wing somewhat unevenly 
brownish-black. A dull red spot beyond the end of the cell on fore- 
wing, joining the red discal area. Two black spots on the disc, 
placed between the nervules close to the lower wall of the cell. Under- 
side brownish-black, thickly dusted with orange, especially towards 
the apex of the fore-wing and the outer-margin of the hind-wing. 
The inner margin and the lower portion of the disc of the fore-wing is 
reddish, and the two black discal spots of the fore-wing show faintly 
through. There are no spots as in 7. carnuta, Hew. Antenne 
black above, spotted with white below ; thorax, abdomen, palpi and 
legs reddish. 
Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. British E. Arrica. Type, Mus. Oxford. 
Captured fourteen miles N.W. of Mombasa, Rabai, on 
Dec. 26th, by the Rev. K. St. Aubyn Rogers and pre- 
sented by him to the Oxford Museum. Also in Mus. 
Druce: one specimen from the same source, kindly 
presented by Professor Poulton. 
This insect is allied to Z. carnuta, Hew.,* but has 
several points of distinction. 
Mimacrea skoptoles, sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 3.) 
Q. Upper-side uniform reddish-orange, darkest along the upper 
wall of the cell of fore-wing, with broad blackish-brown apical and 
outer margins unevenly edged inwardly. Fore-wing: the costal 
margin narrowly blackish, a distinct black spot at the end of the 
cell and a narrow black streak along the upper wall of the cell 
reaching from the base for about two-thirds its length. A creamy 
white band, commencing near the costa in a small spot about half- 
way between the end of the cell and the apex and reaching to the 
upper median nervule, but broadest between the discoidal nervules, 
The nervules which cross this white band are of a faint orange hue, 
not black as in JM. marshalli, Trimen. Hind-wing: the costal 
margin is unmarked, and the nervules show no indication of becoming 
black where they run into the dark border. The markings of the 
under-side show through, but very indistinctly. 
* Pentila carnuta, Hew., Ent. Mon. Mag. x, p. 125 (1878).
