sent f>vci- liy Mr. F. J. Jackson in his last Cnljfttion. ^ly 

 nieasurcnients are taken by doubling the distance lioui the 

 centre ut the thorax to tlie apex of the wing. 



Pentila ntehi, sp. n. 



cJ . Botli wings subdiaphanous wliite : primaries with the 

 costa broadly dark, expanding towards the end of the cell 

 und in an even curve descending towards the tornus, so that 

 the apex and tern)en are very broadly dark, tapering gradually 

 to the tornus; the dark ternieji of the secondary is compara- 

 tively narrow from the apex to the tornus. 



Expanse o2 mm. 



The type was taken by ^Ir. Jackson at N'tebi (Uganda) : 

 it occurs from March to May. 



The species will follow after P, sylpha, Kirby, but it has 

 no trace of a cell-spot in either wing. 



Epilola mengoensis, sp. n. 



(J . Primary blackish, with a slight j)urpli3h patch to 

 beyond the cell, but so dark as to apjjear little more than a 

 greasy area : secondaries black, with the area between veins 

 7 and 1 bluish, of a rough appearance, the veins intersecting 

 the blue, and with a black dash at the end of the cell; 

 termen broadly dark. Underside : primaries dark greyish 

 brown, with a pale spot beyond the cell and a pale inner 

 margin : secondaries pinkish brown, with the basal area dark 

 to beyond the cell; a posterior and submarginul luuulated 

 line close together, somewhat darker than the ground-colour. 



The apex of tiie primaries is ahnost falcate, being acute 

 and excavated directly below it, whilst the termen from 

 veins 5 to 3 is strongly produced outwards, giving the contour 

 an unusual shape for this genus ; the neuratiou is_ quite 

 typicnl. 



Expanse 3»j mm. 



The type was taken by Mr. Jackson in March at Mengo. 



Lachnocnema busoga, sp. n. 



? . Both wings blackish brown, with large white central 

 areas : primaries with the white area from nearly the base, 

 expanding very rapidly for three quarters of the wing, and 

 extending trom near the upper margin of the cell to vein 1 : 

 secondaries with a very large white patch from the abdominal 

 fold to vein G and from half of the cell to near the termen. 

 Underside: primaries whiti', with costa and termen broadly
