grey. Secondaries with apex clouded with dark grey, which 

 descends in a line to vein 3.

Hab. Gunnal, W. Africa; November. 



Type in my collection. 



This may be the West African form of the previous 

 species, but the colour is quite different and the basal line is 

 nearer the base and a different shape, whilst the posttnedian 

 line is further out and a different shape also. 



Glocia tenehra, sp, n. 



(J. Head, thorax, and antennre very dark crimson. Pri- 

 maries uniform dark crimson, without any mark at all.

Hab. Oni (Lagos). 



Type in the Hope Museum. 



The perfect insect emerged on April 15th from a cocoon 

 found on the 7th of the same month. The cocoon is pear- 

 shaped, with a longish tapering tube at the small end ; it has 

 evidently been spun on a sandy soil, being entirely composed 

 of minute particles of white sand for the outer cover ; the 

 emergence, however, took place from the side (near the 

 middle), not from the end. 



Trabala lambourni, sp. n.

 subterminal row of internervular lunules, a triangular pale 

 brown patch on the inner margin confluent with the post- 

 median line. Secondaries with a dark point in the ceil, an 

 oblique postmedian line and an irregular subterminal row of
