LEMBOPTEEIS, gen. nov. 



In outline approaching Tortricidia, but in coloration and structure 

 perhaps nearer to Niphadolepis ; the antennae and palpi smooth, 

 the former submoniliform and feebly setulose from before the 

 middle to the distal extremities ; hind tibiae with very long spurs : 

 primaries with the costal margin long, slightly arched; outer margin 

 very oblique, forming a regular curve with the inner margin which 

 is much arched ; veins 7, 8, and 9 stalked : secondaries ovate ; 

 veins 3 and 4 from same point ; discocellulars deeply inangled ; 

 veins 6 and 7 with a short footstalk. Type L. puella. 



213. LEMBOPTEEIS PTJELLA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11.) 



Primaries above sericeous snow-white ; costal margin narrowly 

 ochreous ; two black dots at apex and two on the disc, of which 

 one is below vein 2 and the other (which is not always present) 

 below vein 6 : secondaries pale golden stramineous, sericeous, with 

 one dusky marginal dot near apex ; fringe white-tipped : head and 

 thorax snow-white; antennae and palpi golden stramineous ; abdo- 

 men stramineous, becoming white at base and with olivaceous 

 transverse dorsal bars. Primaries below stramineous, finely dusted 

 with greyish ; fringe white ; two blackish apical dots : secondaries 

 sericeous white, almost silvery, costa washed with stramineous; 

 extreme margin indicated by an extremely slender dusky line ; 

 a black subapical dot : body below silvery white, the anterior legs 

 and the tarsi and spurs of the remaining legs golden stramineous ; 

 venter slightly tinted with this colour. Expanse of wings 21 

 millim. 



Samburu, 7th November, 1896. 



Two somewhat imperfect examples were obtained ; apart from 

 the outline of the primaries, the long slender legs and the great 

 length of the median and terminal spurs on the hind pair are very 

 characteristic.

c? . Primaries above ash-grey, varying to whity brown at base, 

 on costa, at external angle, and more or less on inner margin, and 

 with two longitudinal diffused streaks of huffish and chestnut, one 

 short beyond the cell, the other long below the median vein ; veins 

 and numerous black-edged transverse strise sordid white ; six pure 

 white spots, one fairly large at end of cell, one small beyond it near 

 outer margin ; the other four are within the interno-median 

 area, each placed upon a transverse stria, the first two small, the 

 last two large and forming a triangle with the spot first mentioned : 

 secondaries sericeous white, veins and margins brownish : antennae 

 castaneous, the shaft covered with glistening silvery scales ; thorax 

 buffish, the borders of all the divisions washed with chestnut and
