26 Mr. L. B. Prout on new 



very slight (at costal margin rather thicker and greyer) darker 

 irroration ; lines weak, vaguely greyish ; antemedian at little 

 beyond one-fourth, somewhat excurved and sinuous, chiefly 

 indicated by dark dots on the veins, median shade broader, 

 lunulate-dentate, arising at about three-fifths costa, incurved 

 between M 1 and SM 2 ; postmedian fine, shallowly lunulate, 

 but scarcely traceable except on the veins, where it is marked 

 by strong black dots (very slightly elongate) at about 

 25 mm. from termen, slightly incurved at costa ; cell-mark 

 slightly raised, very feeble, elongate, very slightly and in- 

 completely dark-edged ; both the series of terminal dots 

 sharply expressed, those on the veins smaller than those 

 between ; fringe slightly more ochreous proximally. 



Hind icing with termen slightly waved ; !SC 2 just stalked 

 (type) to just separate ; similar to fore wing, the cell-dot 

 whiter, less elongate, more strongly dark-edged. 



Underside of fore wing more flesh-coloured, at hind margin- 

 whitish, of hind wing whitish, mixed with flesh-colour 

 distally ; fore wing with median shade faintly traceable in 

 flesh-colour ; both wings with flesh-coloured postmedian line, 

 marked with brown dots on the veins ; terminal dots deve- 

 loped, the iuterneural rather less black and more diffuse than 

 above. 



Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 feet, dry season (G. L. 

 Bates), type in coll. Joicey. A <$ from the same locality 

 and two from Lake Azingo, Gaboon, in coll. Tring Mus. 



I do not think this can be a local race of ccecaria, Guen.= 

 deremptaria, Walk., from South Africa, which has the cell- 

 mark of fore wing smaller and rounder, but of which no good 

 specimens are accessible to me. If, as I suspect, lycisearia, 

 Quen.=bitactata, Walk., is an aberration of the latter, it 

 appears to have the hind femur glabrous or nearly so. 



12. Ilamalia apiozona, sp. n. 



? .—22 mm. 



Head and body cream-buff ; palpus darkened on outer 

 side ; thorax and abdomen dorsally with some darker ad- 

 mixture, a brown belt at base of abdomen. 



Fore wing rather narrow, termen oblique, smooth, nearly 

 straight ; !SC 2 arising well before end of cell ; white, mostly 

 covered with light pinkish-buff markings ; a very strongly 

 outbent white liue at one-fourth (accompanied by some 

 whitish shading proximally), bounding the median area 

 proximally; median area forming a very broad band, of 

 which the distal edge is very acutely angulated outwards on
