40 Mr. George T’. Bethune-Baker’s notes 
dark grey spots, four near the base and three between the two 
stigmata. 
Secondaries white, cell marked by a dark median vein and closed 
by a distinct dark crescent ; there is a broad dark grey band from 
the apex to the inner angle. Posterior margin edged by a fine dark 
line, which is preceded by a broad whitish band. Fringes white. 
Antenne finely serrated. Exp. alar. 33 mm. 
Tins species is allied to Stigmosa, Chr., but can be 
at once distinguished by the white secondaries with the 
crescentic termination of the cell. ‘The primaries are 
much greyer in colour, the transverse lines more pro- 
nounced, whilst there is no trace of the triangular spot in 
front of the apex.

¢d. Primaries uniform brownish-grey, first two transversa lines 
slightly paler, and finely margined on each side with dark brown, 
the third pale line darkly margined internally only ; subterminal 
line fine, indistinct and interrupted, with three dark arrow-shaped 
marks emitted towards the base. Hindmargin darkly dotted. 
Orbicular stigma pale ochreous-grey, pupilled with the ground 
colour, and partly encircled with dark brown, beneath this is a 
distinct darkly outlined q-shaped sign. Reniform stigma pale 
brownish-grey outlined with dark brown and pupilled with paler 
grey, which pupil is margined with dark grey. Fringes brownish- 
grey with a paler dividing line. Secondaries brownish-grey, 
darker around the posterior margin. Fringes pale grey. Exp. 
alar. 35 mm. 
2. Primaries, ground-colour very pale ochreous-grey, pattern as 
in ¢. Secondaries very pale ochreous with a broad dark posterior 
margin. Exp. alar. 38 to 40 mm. 
This species will come next to Trifoliv; it is easily 
recognized by its quite uniform and duller colouration 
and markings, by its much darker secondaries, and by 
its exceedingly pale ¢. 
38. Heliophobus marsdeni, sp. un. (PI. I., fig. 9.) 
¢. Primaries brownish-ochreous, basal area much paler, the 
first transverse line in front of the orbicular stigma is dark brown, 
interrupted and edged internally with pale ochreous ; beyond the 
reniform stigma is a pale ochreous transverse dentated and inter- 
rupted line edged internally with dark brown; area between these 
lines darker than rest of wing: subterminal line pale ochreous,
