nervular dashes, followed by a very fine, slightly scalloped, 

 grey line, closely succeeded by a terminal row of blackish 

 spots ; termen finely black : secondaries with two basal 

 black spots, one in the cell, one above it, a black spot at 

 the apex, and a smaller one about halfway along the inner 

 mai'gin ; an irregular series of isolated grey dashes, broken 

 inw^ards below vein 3 ; the upperside terminal markings 

 showing through very finely. 



Expanse 32 mm. 



Hub. Makala, Congo Free State, July.

Notodontidae. 



Elaphrodes, gen. nov. 



J' . Palpi upturned, barely reaching vertex, roughly and 

 thickly scaled ; antennse fasciculate ; legs roughly haired. 

 Neuration : primaries, vein 2 at a quarter before the lower 

 angle, 3 just before, 4 from the angle, 5 from just above the 

 middle of the discocellulars ; 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked, 8 and 9 

 on a very long stalk just in front of the apex, 9 and 10 

 about midway between end of cell and apex, 11 from two- 

 thirds along the cell ; 12 long, terminating only a little before 

 11 : secondaries with 3 and 4 stalked from the lower angle, 

 5 from the middle of the discocellulars, 6 and 7 stalked from 

 the upper angle (the stalks in both cases are short), 8 ap- 

 pressed on to the cell for a third. 



Type, Elaphrodes Jiephocrossa, B.-B. 



This is near Phalera, but the neuration is not quite 

 similar and there is no areole.
