In unset specimens the red blotches are hardly visible, and 

 such specimens agree very well with tStal's description.

Nauphosta aspersata, sp. n. 



Long, Corp. cum tegm. 20 niillim. 



'I'estaceous ; head reddish above, with a brown band 

 between the eyes, divided by yellowish spaces into three 

 square spots ; then follows a broader yellowish band between 

 the antennaj, below which the face is about equally divided 

 into a blackish upper space and a yellowish lower space. 

 Pronotum brownish in the middle and testaceous on the sides, 

 irregularly dotted with black ; towards the middle these dots 

 tend to form longitudinal lines here and there, but there is no 

 trace of the conspicuous black lateral stripes of P. cinerea. 

 Oliv., to which this species is most nearly allied. On the 

 outside of the eyes a black band runs backward and is con- 

 tinued beneath the wings and above the upper part of the 

 coxa3. Wings, legs, and under surface mostly brown ; costal 

 area and legs more or less dotted with brown. Upperside of 

 tibioo brownish. 



1, Pretoria {Distant).

 labelled N. circumvagans, Burm., which species, however,

 be the same as JV. grisea^ Burm., the type of Nauphoefa,
