fold, here angled, tlien oblique inwards to hind margin ; 

 orbicular represented by a small dot, as in the allies ; 

 reniforni dark leaden-grey, with a few minute olive-whitish 

 dots at its proximal posterior corner and two less minute 

 dots (anterior aud posterior) at its distal edge ; postmedian 

 line nearly as in reducta — bicurved anteriorly, but less bent 

 in front of SAP than in that species ; subterminal nearly as 

 in reducta, but better developed at costa, with a strong 

 triangular black spot in cellule 6 ; subtornal olive-grey 

 patch larger, tripartite (crossing SM^) ; a row of pale dots 

 close to termen. 



Hind vying with the rounded lobe strong ; colour of 

 xylochroa, but slightly more ochreous at costa and with 

 stronger black clouding in distal part ; a dark cell-dot 

 discernible ; termeu and fringe as in reducta. 



Fore wing beneath paler ochreous-grey proximall}- than 

 in the allies, the costal margin more smoky, the dark 

 reniform sharply expressed; dark distal border sharply 

 expressed, 8-9 mm. in breadth, continued proximally, 

 though less sharply expressed, behind M to near base. 

 Hind wing beneath similar to that of reducta, but with 

 cell-mark present and with the dark distal border obsolete 

 posteriorly. 



Gambia [A Moloney). 



The ? , from Friapere Forest, Coomassie, is similar above, 

 though smaller, the fore wing with more uniform slate-grey 

 suffusions, the hind wing darker ; both wings beneath 

 darker, the distal border of hind wing broader, complete. 

 The species probably represents reducta (from Madagascar) 

 i« W. Africa, but in the absence of material from the 

 intervening legion 1 have not regarded it as a subspecies. 

 It may be added that the group Stenopis, Mab, ( = Sect, D. 

 Hmpsn., Cap. Lep. Phal. xii. p. -^51), eml)races also david, 

 Holl., and def^pecia, Holl., the hind wivijr l)eing produced in 

 the whole group ; oi david i\\e S in coll. British Rluseumuas 

 damaged, of despecta Hampson knew only the ? ; "a" and 

 "b" in Hmpsn. (pp. 451, 456) will therefore have to be 

 merged.

This species is evidently somewhat variable, and it is very 

 doul)tful whether xylochroa, Druce, is anyti ing more than 

 a pale form of it, perhaps a Congo race. From Entebbe, 

 Uganda, Mr. Joicey has a further form, or perhaps closely 

 allied species, of a more reddish tone (particularly noticeable 

 on the thorax and along posterior margin of fore wing), the
