 consisting of six spots usually disconnected, second and third spots 

 just touching each other and shifted slightly outwards, fourth spot 

 somewhat inwards, fifth more inwards, sixth vertical below the fifth ; 

 a series of submarginal subsagittate internervular marks and a

Types : $ in the Imperial Zoological Museum, Berlin ; 

 ^ in my collection (4 (j^J and 4 $$) ; other specimens in the 

 British Museum from the Nandi Plateau {Neave). 



Karsch described the female from Kitoto (Ugowe Bay), 

 and subsequently having a small series of both sexes I 

 described the male from the Aclioli country, having failed 

 to recognise the previous description of the female. The 

 species is apparently local and uncommon. The figure 

 represents my (^ type. 



Genitalia with harpagines long, broadish at the base, narrowing 

 rapidly and terminating in a sub-sickle-shaped apex ; the whole 

 clasp is covered with long strong bristles, those at the apex being 

 shorter and finer ; anellus with the front apex bluntly cone-sliaped ; 

 aedoeagus broad, of moderate length, raised into a knob near 

 extremity on its upper edge, from whence it is somewhat excised to 

 the tip ; vesica very fine with practically no sculjituring ; cingulum 

 long and very narrow ; tegumen but little excised (this is apparently
