Subfamily STERRHINAE. 

 3. Craspedia naias spec. nov. 



Foreivings: white, densely dusted with gre3--greea ; the lines grey-green, all 

 somewhat diffnse ; basal line absent ; median, a little before the middle, blnutly 

 angled in cell, then obliiine inwards ; onter line at two-thirds, diffuse and double, 

 becoming faint before custa, where it seems to be retracted ; submarginal line, 

 parallel to margin, slightly bnt irregularly waved ; marginal dots and a very fine 

 marginal festooned line somewhat darker green ; fringe white. 



llinihrinqs : with postmedian and submarginal lines only, the former single ; 

 cell-mark elongate, formed of white slightly raised scales ; marginal dots and line 

 as in forewings. 



Underside white ; forewings with a few faint speckles in costal half only ; 

 costal edge ochreous ; marginal dots of both wings minute, blackish. Face and 

 palpi (damaged) brown ; verte.x, thora.K, and abdomen white, the last slightly 

 speckled with green. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from the Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa, January 1901, 

 6500— OOOu ft. (Doherty). 



The hindmargin of hindwings is slightly indented between veins 4 and 6, with 

 an insignificant tooth at vein 4. Nearest to the S. Indian species celebraria Wlk., 

 with which I have hitherto identified it. 



4. Lycauges fragilis spec. nov. 



Forewings: very pale lione-colour, with slight speckling of grey scales; no 

 distinct inner line ; cell-sjiot black, distinct, followed by an oblique, diffuse, 

 obscurely marked shade, and three fine equidistant lines running towards apex ; 

 of these the first, representing the exterior line, is less waved than the two 

 submarginal ; marginal dots very minute ; fringe concolorous. 



Jlindwings: with the costal half pule: the three outer lines curved; the 

 median shade represented only on inner margin ; cell-spot black. 



Underside of forewings with basal two-thirds grey speckled and suffused ; the 

 three outer lines fine and distinct ; also a fine brown marginal line, without dots ; 

 cell-spot distinct ; hindwings similar, but without any grey speckling. Face and 

 palpi brown ; thorax and abdomen bone-colour. 



Expanse of wings : c?,2')mm. ; ?,22mm. 



One i, one ? , from the Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa, January 1001 , 

 6500—9000 ft. (Doherty). 



The species differs from true L)/cauges in that the hindlegs of the S , though 

 fully developed, are totally devoid of spurs ; the ? possesses all four, well develo]>ed. 



5. Ptychopoda fumilinea spec. nov. 



Foreivings: ochreous with a reddish tinge, and coarsely speckled witli olive- 

 fuscous ; inner and median lines ditfuse, broad at costa, angled in cell, then oblique 

 inwards and appro.ximated to each other, the median touching the cell-spot at 

 its angle ; outer line at two-thirds, more defined and bisinuate ; two submarginal
