Acidalia intcrnata, Guen., Phal., i, p. 506 (1857). 

 Acidalia strigulifera, Walker, xxii, 743 (1861). 

 Acidalia illiturata, Walker, xxvi, 1602 (1862), nee, p. 1755. 

 Craspcdia fimhrilineatay Warr., I.e., ix, 499 (1902). 



1 ^ , Nyassaland. 



Walker's types from Natal and Krysna are in this 

 Museum; Warren's type, a male from the Escarpment, Brit. 

 E. Africa, is in coll. Rothschild; the species varies much 

 in size, but I cannot find any other character by which to 

 separate the different names. 



Emmiltis cassiaria, nov. 



5 . Palpi, frons, and head black, frons with some white marks ; 

 body and wings dark grey with a pinkish tinge, smeared with sordid 

 grey and irrorated with brown atoms ; fore-wings with three brown 

 spots on the costa indicating the commencement of transverse 

 bands ; all the bands and markings blackish-brown, the inner band 

 visible only on the fore-wings ; both wings with medial and discal 

 bands, the first with a red suffusion on its outer side, the other, 

 double in parts, pointed with black dots, and with a blackish square 

 patch above the middle on the fore-wings and on the hinder borders 

 of both wings ; a black dot at the end of each cell ; a brown marginal 

 band, marginal black spots, and black spots on the cilia ; under-side 

 paler and more white, with the bands and markings more or less as 

 above and more prominent. 



Expanse of wings 1t\ inches.

Emmiltis (?) minorata. 



Geometra minorata, Boisd., Faun. Madag., p. 115 (1834). 

 Acidalia mauritiata, Guen., Phal, i, p. 476 (1857). 



1 ^ , Old Calabar. 



The type came from the Mauritius ; it is a widely-spread 

 insect ; there are examples in the Tring Museum, from 

 several localities ; it is difficult to know where to put it, 

 as it is not a typical Emmiltis, having normal legs and a 

 pencil of hairs from the femoro-tibial joint, as long as the 

 tibia itself.
