This very rare moth has been classed as a new genus 

 (Trysindeta). 



It belongs to the sub-family Ennominje. 



Forewings : pale straw colour, marginal dots brown, cell-spot 

 dark brown. Expanse : 32 millim. 



It was caught at Nandi in the Uganda Protectorate in 

 December 1896. 



Zamai-ada ansoi'gei, sp. nov. (Plate I. fig. 5). 



It belongs to the sub-family Ennominae. This species is 

 certainly related to Guenee's secutaria (Stegania) from Abyssinia, 

 but does not in all points agree with his description ; that, how- 

 ever, was made from a single female, 



Forewings : pale yellowish-ochreous ; cell-spot brown ; a row 

 of dark marginal dashes. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous. 

 Expanse : 20 millim. 



It was caught at the Kiboko river in British East Africa in 

 November 1896.

Nudaurelia ansorgei, sp. nov. (Plate I. fig. 4). 



It belongs to the family Saturniidaj ; distinguished from the 

 allied species, especiallv by the post-discal bands of the forewing 

 being curved anteriorly, the ante-median band being angulate, 

 and the black outer band of the hindwing being 2i millim. wide. 



Upperside : forewings chestnut-brown, speckled all over with 

 black scales. About one-fourth from the base the wing is 

 crossed by a black line. At the apex of cell is a round eye, 

 consisting of a vitreous dot surrounded by a broad ring of 

 tawny ochraceous and enclosed by a narrow line of dull whitish- 

 pink. Half-way between this eye and the outer margin the wings 

 are crossed by a black transverse line. Hindwings : basal two- 

 thirds brownish-pink, crossed between middle and base by an 

 indistinct black band. In the centre of the wing is a large eye, 

 having a vitreous centre, outside this a dark yellow broad ring, 

 then a narrower black one, followed by a dark red one, the 

 whole enclosed by an outside whitish-pink ring. A little beyond 

 the eye the wings are crossed by a broad black smuous band,
