Lepidoptera from Africa and the East. 191 



■wliite. Secondaries with the radial area white, not brown. 

 Underside : both wings with all the yellowish markings 

 white and with no tawny bar or markings. 



This is so well marked a form that it seems advisable to 

 name it. It may be tiie wet-season form. 



JEthiopana (^Epitola) honoruis, Fab. 



Aurivillius has placed this species under the genus Epitola, 

 and most, though not all, authors have recently followed his 

 leading. That able observer depends practically upon the 

 pattern of the wings when he sej^arates Hewitsonia from 

 Epitola, admitting that the neuration of the two genera is 

 almost precisely the same. Hewitson was the first to separate 

 the two, and he gave the name Corydon to the one ; this, 

 however, was preoccupied, so that Aurivillius renamed it 

 Hewitsonia, boisduvali, Hew., being the type. 



In neuration, however, honorius belongs to neither, as 

 veins 7, 8, i*, and 10 are stalked on a strong well-developed 

 stalk at some distance from the cell. I have a fair series of 

 the species, and this is a constant and well-marked feature 

 in its structure. This being tlie case, I propose the name 

 jEthiopana for honorius, Fab.. 



Powellana cottoni, B-B. 



This species was described by me (P. Z. S. Lond. p. 114, 

 pi. ix. fig. 13, 1908) from the Upper Congo, and shortly 

 afterwards was sent home by Bates from the Cameroons ; it 

 appears rather later to have come into Dr. Holland's hands 

 from the Cameroons also, and he described it under the 

 names Sntyrbnima weberi (Eut. News, xxiv. p. 302, figs. 1 

 & 2, 1913), both of which names must, I think, sink to mine; 

 ihe insect is so remarkable that there is no possibility of 

 mistaking it. 



H E T E R C E U A. 



Geometridae. 



Milionia hi/percaUima, nom. nov. 



I described a species of Milionia under the name calUma in 

 this Magazine in 1910 (ser. 8, vol. vi. p. 453), but find that 

 Rothschild & Jordan had previously used that name in the 

 Novit. Zool. 1905, p. 467. I propose, therefore, hyper- 

 callima for my species instead of the name I originally used.
