(5) Stugeta marmorea, Butl. $• 



This specimen is shown, as the species has only previously 

 been recorded from East Africa. The example was taken in 

 the dry country in the Northern Territories of the Gold 

 Coast. Specimens were also seen at Lemu, near Bida, and 

 on the Kano-Rogo road in Northern Nigeria. February to 

 May 1908-1909. 



(c) Argyrocheila undxfera, Staudg. $. 



A single specimen captured in dense forest in the Ashanti-
