 this species. It is a jf from Ft. Chicquaqua, Mashona- 

 land. There is a spot in the f.-w. cell followed bv one in 

 the discocellulars, and three subapical spots. The h.-w. 

 has one spot only, that on the discocellulars. The h.-w. 

 hind-marginal border is black and rather deeply edentate 

 between the nervules, and bears indications of paler iuter- 

 nervular marginal spots.
