neio Species of Lcp'uluptera. 379 



type. My friend Dr. J. McDunnoui,'!!, of Decatur (U.S.A.), 

 lias recently drawn my attention to the fact that Turania of 

 liagonot already exists in the Pyralidie ; so that a new name 

 is needed. I propose, therefore, the name 2\imnanay with 

 cytis for its type. 



Lyccenesthes craioshayi. 



Capt. "VVilson took a pair of this species from the Xuha 

 Hills of a very diminutive size ; the measurement of the male 

 is 20 mm., compared with an average of 30 mm. from Sierra 

 Leone and Uganda. I have several of a small race from the 

 Budonga Forest, but they are 24 and 25 mm., as compared 

 with 20 mm. from the Nuba Country. If this small form is 

 constant, it might well be named craioshayi minuta. 



The markings are quite tiie same, but idl crowded up into 

 the much smaller area. 



The specimens are in the Oxford Museum. 



Argiolaus ismenias, Klug. 



Several specimens of this fine but delicate species were 

 taken at Sungikai and Kadngli, in the Nuba Hills (Southern 

 Kordofan), on November 13 and December 10 by Captain 

 li. S. Wilson in 1904. 



Spindasis kathiglu^ sp. n. 



cJ . Head and collar very pale fawn-colour. Both wings 

 faded straw-colour, much obscured with the daik markings. 

 Primaries with the base j)ale brownish, terminating in a 

 darker transverse dash, the costa broadly pale brownish; 

 postniedian band bioad, angled outwards at vein 4, reaching 

 well below vein 2, and confluent about vein 2 with the sub- 

 terminal broad dark band, which increases in width from the 

 apex to the tornus ; the subcostal triangle of spots also 

 touches tiie inner edge of the subterminal band, between 

 which and the termen is a trace of a pale line. Secondary 

 almost entirely obscured with the dark ])attern, the short 

 broad subapical dash and the broad subterminal stripe being 

 the only definite markings. Ujiderside : primaries pale straw- 

 colour, with the markings more or less pupilled with motallic 

 silvery ; there is a small subbasal spot, followed by two largei* 

 ones, one in the cell and one below ; the postniedian and other 

 bands follow the upper surface pattern, being merely more or 

 less darkly outlined. Secondaries deeper straw-colour, with 

 a trace of four basal spots, followed by three transverse rows
