166 Mr. L. B. Prout on 
autemedian line; subbasal markings consisting of a small 
triangular red mark on costa, a black dot in cell, and an 
oblique, red, black-mixed dash behind SM*; lines red; 
antemedian rather thick, straight, from before one-third 
costa (where it is proximally edged by a few black scales) 
to beyond one-third hind margin; postmedian arising on 
costa about midway between subbasal mark and apex, 
strongly oblique outwards to M’', here sharply bent, then 
straight to hind margin near tornus ; a large anterior and 
. minute posterior black cell-dot ; a red costal mark shortly 
beyond the postmedian line, connected with it by a faint 
reddish mark (really the reddened tips of the costal fringe) ; 
terminal line orange, thickening at apex. . 
Hind wing red-orange or orange-red, above with costal 
margin pale. 
Fore wing beneath indefinitely mottled with ochreous and 
orange, posteriorly whitish; base of costa and lobes redder ; 
costal edge whitish in front of the lobes ; antemedian and 
postmedian lines present, but indistinct. 
Mindanao, Philippines (J. J. Mounsey), 23 3. Probably 
near axiologa, Swinh.; may be placed as No, 648c in the 
subfamily. 
2. Chionema brunneistriga, sp. 0. 
? .—19 mm. 
Closely similar to rubristriga, Holl., the red markings 
light ochreous-brown. 
Fore wing with antemedian line strongly bisinuate ; 
postmedian rather thick, rather strongly angulated outwards 
in middle; three black-brown subapical spots, the middle 
one (between R* and R*) well developed, the anterior and 
posterior ones minute. 
Fort Crampel, French Congo. 
Possibly a form of rubristriga, Holl., as the colour is 
known to be somewhat. variable, and specimens of apparently 
that species from Sierra Leone and Gold Coast in coll. 
British Museum show faint traces of a brownish subterminal 
spot between R? and R?, but the antemedian line seems too 
different, and the Cameroon series in coll. Joicey shows 
no transitions towards the new form. 
3. Chionema additicia, sp. n. 
? .—22 mm. 
Closely similar to basisticta, Hmpsn., slightly broader- 
winged. Head white. 
Fore wing with the markings yellowish ochraceous
