Liptena durbania, sp. n. 



c? . Both wings clear fawn-yellow. Primaries with broad 

 dark costa and very broad dark apex, terminating finely 

 about vein 2 on the termen. Secondaries with a trace of a 

 dark termen in parts. Under surface: primaries as above, 

 but the dark areas of the upperside only show through as 

 darker patches. Secondaries huff-colour, with transverse 

 bands of darker buff, viz., two antemedian interrupted bands, 

 a median and postmedian springing from the same costal patch, 

 and an anteterminal band. 



Expanse 34 mm. 



Hob. Bitje, Cameroons. 



Type in Coll. Joicey. 



This species is near lukriaes, H. H. D., and has a tendency 

 to mimic the genus Durbania in its general appearance. 



Argyrocheila bitje, sp. n. 



<J . Both wings pure white, with the margins finely 

 pointed with black at the terminations of each of the veins ; 

 the primaries have a very restricted pale brownish apex. 

 The. underside has the cells closed with a small black dot 

 that shows through ; the primaries have several pale brown 

 costal points and a dark point at the base of the cell ; they 

 have also a postmedian row of three widely separated pale 

 ash-grey spots in the radial area. The termen is not crenu- 

 lated at all. 



Expanse 28 mm. 



Ilab. Bitje, Cameroons. 



Type in Coll. Joicey. 



At first sight this appeared to require a new genus, but the 

 neuration is precisely the same, and the antennas, palpi, and 

 leo - s have likewise a similar structure. 



Micropentila subpbujata, sp. n. 



J 1 . Both wings blackish, with fringes intersected with 

 white. Secondaries with the costal three-quarters of the 

 wing orange-yellow, extending downwards to well below the 

 lower margin of the cell. Under surface : both wings 

 blackish, with yellow patches and spots. Primaries with two 

 small spots in the cell and a broadish stripe across the end of 

 the cell to the inner margin, where a large patch is developed ; 

 an irregular series of four spots across near to the apex ; 

 termen with very fine internervular dashes. Secondaries 

 with a basal patch, two antemedian ones, one large one
