African Phhholomic D/ji/cra, 3.'*5 



margins of l)an(l cinargiiiatc on third segment (at least in 

 tj'pical spccinuMi) ; anterior extremities of liorseslio(;-sliape(l 

 mark visible tlirou^h liind margin of fourth scgtneiit fat 

 least in ease of type), so that on a eursory inspection tliig 

 segment appears to have t\fo small dark blotches <;n its 

 hind margin ; venter shining ochraecous-huH', without 

 markings, clothed with af)pressed ochre-yellow hair. //7////.v: 

 markings of same general type as in previous species, hut 

 transverse hand narrower, and apical hloteh reaching 

 posterior branch of third longitudinal vein ; extreme base 

 and costal cells mummy-brown, remaining markinj^s and 

 stiijma dark sepia-coloured or clove-brown; "remaining 

 markings " occupy apex of anal cell, proximal two-fifths of 

 second basal and rather more than proximal half of first basal 

 cell, and also include transverse band and its extension along 

 costa and into second submarginal cell ; first basal cell with 

 usual, minute, liN-alint^ streak at its extreme base; d.irk 

 brown blotch in apex of anal crll slightly overflows sixth 

 longitudinal vein into axillary cell ; transverse band starts 

 from hind margin of wing in lower distal angle of fifth 

 ])osteri()r cell, passes over [)osterior transverse vein and is 

 indented in discal cell, then becomes broader and reaches 

 eosta, its proximal margin meeting second longitudinal 

 vein slightly basad of distal extremity of auxiliary vein, 

 and its distal margin, which is indented in first submarginal 

 cell, meeting second longitudinal vein slightly beyond level 

 of distal extremity of stigma; from point at which proximal 

 margin of transverse baiul meets second longitudinal vein to 

 distal extremity of mar<;inal cell latter is entirely dark 

 brown, though (in tyj)ical specimen, at any rate) there are 

 traces of an ill-defined paler area in marginal cell immedi- 

 ately above space separating transverse band from apical 

 blotch ; from distal extremity of marginal cell, costal 

 extension of transverse band is continued downwards to 

 form apical blotch, becoming broader immediately below 

 second longitudinal \c'\\\ (its proximal margin crossing 

 anterior branch of third longitudinal vein at a point about 

 one-fourth of the length of the branch from its base), and 

 terminating on posterior branch of third vein ; veins orange- 

 ochraeeous, eosta, auxiliary, and first longitudinal vein, and 

 other veins where covered by dark markings, dark brown or 

 clove-brown. I/alferes : knoi)s orange-buff, stalks l)nfr. 

 Lff/x l)urt'-yellow or orange-buff ; front tarsi clove-brown, 

 last three joints and tips of first two joints of middle and 

 Idnd tarsi mummv-brown.
