(J . — 34 mm. 



Face black. Palpus whitish, with third joint and most of 

 second blackish above. Tongue present, but quite short. 

 Vertex and front of thorax mostly light brown ; body other- 

 wise whitish grey, irrorated with light brown. 



Fore wing broad, with termeu rather less oblique than in 

 insularis ; SC^ anastomosing at a point with C and with 

 SC^ ; whitish grey, irrorated with darker grey and with light 

 brown, costal margin mostly dark grey ; lines blackish greyj 

 antemedian at nearly one-third, shallowly lunulate outward 

 in cell and in submedian area ; postmedian slender, 3-4 mm. 

 from termen, lunulate-dentate, a little incurved in submedian 

 area, the tooth on R^ acute, the lunule between R^ and M^ 

 more shallow than the adjacent ones ; an elongate dark cell- 

 mark, somewhat interrupted in middle; subterminal pale line 

 almost obsolete, accompanied proxinially by a small wedge- 

 shaped brown spot between R' and R^ and another behind M^, 

 a larger and broader one between the medians, the rest of 

 the series almost or altogether obsolete ; triangular blackish 

 terminal dots ; fringe rather pale, very weakly marked.

Victoria Falls, Rhodesia (E. H. Druce). 



Diff'erently shaped from the only hitherto-known species 

 [insidaris, Swiuh., from Madagascar), more resembling an 

 Eiiipristis ; the rows of spots distally to the postmedian line 

 much less complete, less brightly coloured — in insularis they 

 are reddish, though Swinhoe calls them " greyish ocbreous."
