at the apex, brown elsewhere. Hind-wing: without any metallic 
reflections; a sub-basal and two discal series of very indefinite 
shadowy darker spots, a marginal dark line, fringes dark brown. 
Underside, fore-wing : as above, but of a smoother browner appear- 
ance, the markings, except hyaline spots, barely indicated, marginal 
_ area rather heavily sprinkled with long narrow grey and yellow 
scales. Hind-wing: as above, the markings even less clearly 
indicated, the whole surface, but especially the hind margin and 
inner margin, sprinkled with scales like the fore-wing. 
Head, thorax, body, legs and palpi above matching the wings 
in colour; palpi below lighter. Antennae black, rather broadly 
white ringed, the club black, proximally whitish, the tip grey. 
9. Like the 3, but with ground-colour slightly paler, so that the 
markings show up better; below the same as the 3. 
Length of fore-wing, ¢ 18 mm., 9 19 mm. 
B.M. Type No. Rh. 072, 3, Jan., and 073, 9, Feb., 1917,

Also 5 3g, 1 9, Solwezi, im. & ix. 1917. The species 
shows considerable variation in the number of the hyaline 
spots. All have the three subapical spots, but of the others 
any or all may be absent; no two specimens in the series 
are alike in this respect. The one dry-season specimen—a 
male taken in September—only differs from the others in 
being of a rather lighter shade of grey, so that the mark- 
ings are rather more distinct, though still very obscure. 
It was thought at first that this might only be the wet- 
season form of S. laelius Mab., but preparations of the 
genitalia show it to be absolutely distinct. Although the 
arrangement of the markings is very similar to that 
species, the shape of the outer edge of the transverse 
band—when it is possible clearly to see this—readily 
separates this species from S. laelius.

Sarangesa maxima Neave, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., p. 70, 
1910. 
1 g, 2 vi. 1917, 1 3, 5 x. 1917, on the open plain by 
the Chifubwa River, Solwezi, Boma. Dry-season form. 
“Tn life the orange underside is very striking.” Neave 
records this as a forest insect. 
The wet-season form of this species, of which there are 
two go (Jan. 1917 and 27 x. 1917, Solwezi) in Dollman’s 
collection, are so very different in appearance as to need 
a separate description.
