Liptena durhania, sp. n. 



^ . Both wings clear fawn-yellow. Primaries with broad 

 dark costa and very broad dark apex, terminating finely 

 about vein 2 on the termen. Secondaries with a trace of a 

 dark termen in parts. Under surface : primaries as above, 

 but tlie dark areas of the upperside only show through as 

 darker patches. Secondaries buff-colour, with transverse 

 bands of darker buff, viz., two antemedian interrupted bands, 

 a median and postmedian springing from the same costal patch, 

 and an anteterminal band. 



Expanse 34 mm. 



Hah. Bitje, Cameroons. 



"J'ype in Coll. Joicey. 



This species is near lukrines, H. H. D., and has a tendency 

 to mimic the genus Darbania in its general appearance. 



ArgyrocJieila hitje^ sp. n. 



<J . Both wings pure white, with the margins finely 

 pointed with black at the terminations of each of the veins ; 

 the primaries have a very restricted pale brownish apex. 

 The underside has the cells closed with a small black dot 

 that shows through ; the primaries have several pale brown 

 costal points and a dark point at the base of the cell ; they 

 have also a postmedian row of three widely separated pale 

 ash-grey spots in the radial area. The termen is not crenu- 

 lar^d at all. 



Expanse 28 mm. 



Hah. Bitje, Cameroons, 



Type in Coll. Joicey. 



At first sight this appeared to require a new genus, but the 

 neuration is precisely the same, and the anteunaj, palpi, and 

 less have likewise a similar structure. 



Micropentila subplagata, sp. n. 



(J . Both wings blackish, with fringes intersected with 

 wliite. Secondaries with the costal three-quarters of the 

 wing orange-yellow, extending downwards to well below the 

 lower margin of the cell. Under surface : both wings 

 blackish, with yellow patches and spots. Primaries with two 

 small spots in the cell and a broadish stripe across the end of 

 the cell to the inner margin, where a large patch is developed ; 

 an irregular series of four spots across near to the apex ; 

 termen with very fine internervular dashes. Secondaries 

 witli a busal patch, two antemedian ones, one large one
