new or little known Heterocera from Madagascar 601 
middle segments on the upper side black in both sexes. Wings 
pale orange without marking. 
Exp. 3 50 mm., 2 60 mm. 
Fam. LITHOSITDAE. 
Ilema cramboides, n. sp. (Plate XX XI, fig. 2.) 
Near to sordida and aspersa, both of which were taken, 
but I am inclined to regard it as distinct. The insect is 
lighter than sordida. 
The ground colour of the f.w. is much yellower than in these 
species, and the irrorations are brown: on the costa opposite end 
of cell they are numerous enough to form a spot and a line proceeds 
outwards from this near to the apex and then curves back to a 
point on the inner margin opposite to the mark on the costa. 
H.w. ochreous, fringes spotted. 
Exp. 38-46 mm. 
Ilema cribroides, n. sp. (Plate XXXI, fig. 3.) 
Palpi black, antennae ochreous, head and legs white, tegulae 
and patagia without spots; a black spot at the back of the head, 
another on the front of the thorax and a third at the back; abdomen 
smoky above, whitish below. F.w. white, all the usual spots are 
more or less elongated and black, one on the costa at base, three 
along the middle of the disk, the remainder forming a curve starting 
in the middle of the costa and ending in the middle of the inner 
margin. H.w. uniformly dark grey, fringes white, but the 9 has 
the h.w. white. 
Exp. 36-48 mm. 
Ilema inornata, n. sp. (Plate XXXI, fig. 4.) 
This insect, as far as I can see, only differs from marginata in 
the absence of the crimson band on the costa, head, and thorax. 
It is however not a sexual difference as I have five specimens, 
including both sexes, and all are precisely alike. 
Exp. 34 mm. 
Ilema funeralis, n. sp. (Plate XXXI, fig. 5.) 
Legs, antennae, and palpi, black. Head and thorax crimson; 
abdomen crimson below and smoky above, tuft pink. F.w., central 
area crimson, shading outwardly into orange, the remainder which
