5. Theganopteryx circumcincta Reiche et Fairm. 



I 9- An examination of all the types of tlie African species 

 of this genus and of long series of specimens from different locali- 

 ties convinces me that this highly variable species, which has 

 been described over and over again, ranges over the greater 

 part of tropical Africa and cannot be split up satisfactorily even 

 into local races. The unique Biafra specimen has the tegmina 

 rufo-castaneous, short and lanceolate. 



Gen. Anaplecta Burnt. 



6. Anaplecta dahoraensis Shelf, 



3 examples. Previously known from Dahomey. 



7. Anaplecta biafrae sp. n. 



Unicolorous rufo-testaceous. Tegmina with 12 costals, radial 

 vein simple, 3 longitudinal discoidal sectors. Wings castaneous, 

 radial vein bifurcate from base, 7 costals, joined at their bases by 

 anastomoses, median vein straight not obsolescent at base, me- 

 dio-discal area scarcely broader than medio-ulnar area, crossed 

 by 3 transverse venules, ulnar vein simple, I** axillary 3-ramose, 

 apical area not angled at base, equally divided by vena dividens, 

 upper half crossed obliquely by a dark castaneous band, lower 

 half by an obliquely curved vein; length of apical area ^/^ of 

 total wing-length. 



Total length 6 mm.; length of tegmina 4-I mm. 



One example with the abdomen missing. 



Gen. Ischnoptera Burm. 



8. Ischnoptera cinnamomea Gerst. 

 (Syn. Ischnoptera basalis, Gerst. cf .) 



I cf ) 4 9$- This and the next species are common insects in 

 Kamerun.
