Species of Striphnopterygidae and Lasvocampidae. 165 
cated in the middle; apical fuscous patch formed as in Ph. Preuss? 
but somewhat larger; the antemedial curved line of hindwing 
obsolete. Underside: antemedial curved line of both wings hardly 
indicated. Upperside of thorax and palpi fuscous brown. 
Expanse 54 mm. 
ASHANTI: Coomassie (H. Whiteside). 1 2. 
Family LASIOCAMPIDAE. 
Laeliopsis, nov. gen. 
Palpi short, not reaching beyond frons, Eyes small, naked (?). 
Antennae of female bipectinate to tip. Frons without prominence. 
Fore tibiae short, armed at tip with one long and one very short claw 
hind tibiae with apical spursonly. Cell of both wings open. Fore- 
wing: costa straight to beyond middle, slightly arched near apex ; 
termen and hindmargin curved ; vein 3 somewhat nearer to 4 than 
to 2,4 and 5 from the same point, 6 free from upper angle of cell, 
7 and 8 ona short stalk, 9 and 10 shortly stalked from the middle 
between 7 and 8 and 11, 11 free. Hindwing: costa nearly straight, 
termen curved ; vein 3 from the middle between 2 and 4, 4 and 5 
from the same point, 7 from very near base, 8 shortly anastomosing 
with 7 and forming a very small pre-costal cell without veinlets. 
Abdomen of female long, reaching far beyond tornus of hindwing. 
Body clothed with hairs only. 
A very distinct genus, not nearly allied to any other 
genus known to me. 
Lueliopsis punctuligera, n. sp. 
Head, thorax, and forewing above ochreous-brown; abdomen, 
hindwing, above and underside of both wings ochreous-yellow ; fore- 
wing above with two obsolete fuscous vittae dotted with white, one 
above vein 1 almost from base, the other above vein 5, both ending 
at the submarginal dot of the interspace ; an irregular submarginal 
series of 7-8 white dots, finely ringed with fuscous; hindwing 
behind middle with a transverse series of 6-7 black dots; both 
wings below paler yellow with a submarginal series of black dots. 
Expanse 35 mm. 
DELAGOA Bay (Rev. H. Junod). 1 9. 
This peculiar female has the same form of the wings 
and nearly the same markings as some species of the genus 
Laelia. The male has probably a more Lasiocampid 
aspect.
