654 Prof. Mario Bezzi’s Report on a Collection of 
there is whitish tomentum., Venter black, the first segment reddish, 
clothed with short whitish hairs; spines of the female genitalia 
yellowish red. Legs black, the tibiae reddish, with black pubescence 
and black spines; hind claws with a very small tooth. Wings 
blackish brown, the apex broadly hyaline ; the limit of the black 
marking runs outwards from the end of the costal cell over the apex 
of the first sub-marginal to the apex of the third posterior cell at the 
hind margin. There are less distinct pale clouds on the apex of the 
discal cell, on the third and fourth posterior cells and on the middle 
of the anal cell ; the axillar cell is entirely hyaline; the large hya- 
line spot in the second basal cell is very conspicuous. Basal comb 
of a dark reddish colour and with black pubescence. Origin of the 
second longitudinal vein a little before the small cross-vein, which 
is placed at the middle of the discal cell ; first posterior cell very 
narrow in its whole length and narrowed at the end; second and 
third of about equal width at the apex, the fourth being broader ; 
discal cell very pointed outwardly, the vein between it and the 
second basal cell being sinuous; this last cell is in shape an almost 
regular rhomb, the vein dividing it from the third being almost 
straight, not sinuous as in H. vittata. The wings are longer than 
in the allied species. 
A single specimen, without head, from Nyasaland, Dowa 
(Dr. J. B.S. Old). 
78. Hyperalonia sisyphus, Fabricius (1805). 
A very distinct species, not recognised as Hyperalonia 
in the Catalogues. 
My #. alula (1906) from Erythraea is an allied species, 
characterised by the argenteous bands on the abdomen 
and the brown clouds on the wings. 
Six specimens from North Nyasa, Deep Bay to Vua, and 
Bundi village, Fuliwa, May 13-14, 1909 (Dr. J.B. Davey) ; 
two other specimens from Fort Johnston, June 12, 1910 
(Dr. A. H. Barclay).
