respects it is similar ; the inner margin of the primaries has a 

 central projecting patch of scales, amongst which are several 

 long needle-like steel-blue scales. Antennfe with short pecti- 

 nations. Type E. turbata {Gogane turbata, Butl.) from 

 Madagascar. 



I have again examined the species originally described by 

 me as Gogane ochrea, and can confirm my statement that it 

 agrees in structure with Chcerotriche, I he neural ion, antenna?, 

 and other characters of the male being the same as in C. vitel- 

 lina. The principal difference between Chcerotriche and Go- 

 gane lies in the projecting patch of scales on the inner margin 

 of the primaries possessed by the latter genus. 



CiiiiYSOPSYCiiE, gen. nov. 



This genus differs from the preceding (just as Chcerotriche 

 does from Gogane) in the absence of any patch of projecting 

 scales on the inner margin of the primaries ; in all other 

 characters, including the remarkable patch of transverse horny 

 scales, it is extremely similar ; the thorax, as in Chcerotriche. 

 is armed with long radiating clavate scales. Type C. mirijica 

 {Chcerotriche mirijica, Butl.) from Old Calabar. 



Neither this genus nor Raphipeza possess the large anal 

 tuft of Lechriolepis.

Lasiacampa tamatavce, (Jnenre in Vinson's Voyage a Madagascar, Ap- 

 pendix F, p. 44. n. D;'> (1865). 



The Lebeda ba.dia of Saalmtiller seems to be a nearly allied 

 but paler species. 



Saturniidae. 



42. Copaxa subocellata, sp. n. 



Wings above primrose-yellow, crossed at basal fourth by an 

 ill-defined ferruginous stripe, beyond which the ground-colour 

 to the middle of the wing is washed with reddish ; a diffused 

 dull ferruginous central stripe limiting internally a broad 

 paler ferruginous discal belt, the outer margin of which is 

 dusky, slightly mullisinuate on the primaries and zigzag on 

 the secondaries ; a submarginal series of large subocellate pale 

 lilac spots, which on the primaries are confluent, their margins 

 tinted with ferruginous ; outer border, particularly on the 

 primaries, washed with ferruginous ; primaries with a small 

 pale-zoned black-edged hyaline white semicircular spot at the 

 end of the cell, base of costa dull rose-coloured : body dull
