? aud early stages uot known. 



Hab. Atbara, Abj'ssinia. 



One c? (type) in the British Museum ; another i from Konakry I., in the 

 Paris Museum. 



The dorsal lobe of the clasper is in the Konakry specimen much longer than 

 in that from Abyssinia and curved, and the dorsal edge of the clasper is dilated 

 mesiad iu the middle. The difference, which is very obvious, may be individual 

 or geographical. 



212. Polyptychus compar spec. nov. 



(?. Similar to aiulosa. Distinguished by the following characters : 



Mid- and bindtibiae brownish, with a conspicuous white basal spot. ^Vin»•s, 



above. Forewing more vinaceous-grey, one basal dot instead of two ; stignux a 



small tawny ring filled up with buff; first discal line (and the two following ones, if 

 present) strongly curved costad in front : distal margin less convex behind middle, 



not concave before angle, which is less prominent. Hindwing pale vinaceous- 



bnff, longer thau in andosa, apex more broadly rounded, distal margin more convex ; 

 fringe vinaceous, blackish behind, not spotted, longest scales white ; distal area 

 somewhat shaded with brown ; veins distally not conspicuously striped with brown. 



Underside nearly as in marshalU in colour. Forewing brownish distally, 



shaded with grey in distal marginal area, lines indistinct, a postdiscal one dentate, 



accentuated by vein-dots, followed by another series of very faint dots. Hindwing: 



first line touching apex of cell, indistinct, postdiscal line dentate, parallel to margin, 

 accentuated by vein-dots, much more curved than in andosa; W shorter than D'. 



In the type the lines more distinct and the apex of the forewing less produced 

 than in a second specimen, which has a brown streak in the middle before the 

 abdominal margin of the hindwing above. 



Clasper and eighth tergite withont friction-scales. Tenth tergite large, broad, 

 longitudinally concave above, apex divided into three lobes (PI. XXV. f. 12. 13): the 

 middle lobe narrow, sinuate or truncate, with parallel sides, directed ventrad ; 

 side-lolies broad, somewhat twisted, rounded. Clasper short (PI. XXXIII. f. 2:5), 

 dorsal margin sinuate before end, ventral margin rounded distally, sinuate beyond 

 middle owing to the harpe projecting ventrad ; a prominent subdorsal fold, beset 

 with long bristles ; ventral part of harpe subprismatical, concave, upper edge 

 raised ; an oblique ridge extending dorsad, raised mesially into a large triangular 

 tooth ; ])roximally of this tooth there is a large, feebly chitinised, setose cone. 

 Penis-fnnnel (v-v) deejdy and broadly unisinuate ventrally, dorsally trisinuate, tiie 

 mesial sinns small ; penis-sheath with a curved longitudinal furrow ; no jirocess, 

 but apical margin with a multidentate licit all round (PI. XXX. f. 3.3a. 33b). 



? and early stages not known. 



Ilab. Mashonaland. 



Two SS in the British Museum, one {t)/pr) from Salisbury, October 1900 

 (Marshall), the other from Umtali. 



213. Polyptychus coryndoni spec. nov. (PI. 11. f. 7, S). 



<?. Tongue rather strong, visible between the palpi ; the joint of these open. 

 Antenna subserrate ventrally (PI. LX. f. 26). Spurs not spiny, long one of 

 midtibiu more than twice as long as the tibia is broad. Cross-veins of hindwing as 

 ID curteri ; distal margins of forewings not dentate, apex produced, middle convex.
