neio African SaturnildcC. 9 



19. Jlolocera suavis, sp. n. 



Deeper red-brown than //. smila.v, Westw. (1849). 



Fore wing bioader, less produced at apex, the central band 

 posteriorly wider, its grey outer border much less curved, 

 being almost straight from costa to middle ; the glass-spot 

 consists of a half-ring, to which is joined in front an angle- 

 or inversed comma-shaped S[)ot. Hind wing broader than in 

 II. smilax, shorter at abdominal margin, the distal margin 

 slightly convex ; the eye-spot as in the species of Ludia, 

 yellow, with a thin, black-edged, central half-ring and a 

 black outer border; a pinkish-grey submarginal line extends 

 from close to anal angle forward to the eye-spot, encircling 

 the same and running back to the abdominal margin, this 

 last portion being faint ; this line forms the border of a red- 

 brown band as in Ludia. 



On underside the fore wing washed with grey on the disk 

 outside the vitreous spot from the costal to the abdominal 

 margin ; some specks at the costal edge and a thin apical 

 half-ring grey ; outer margin, the cell, and part of costal 

 margin olivaceous walnut-brown ; on hind wing the basal 

 costal area, a short costal discal band, and the outer margin 

 the same colour, this costal band continued to hind margin as 

 a very thin line. 



In female the wings much broader than in the male. 



Eighth abdominal segment (of male) without the apical 

 spines found in //. smilax. 



Larva yellow ; the head, prothorax, a ventral lateral stripe, 

 the anus, aiid on each ring a narrow belt bearing setiferous 

 warts, black, the anterior belts more or less interruped, none 

 of the belts reaching down to the legs. 



Nguelo, Usambara, German East Africa; several specimens 

 in the Tring Museum ; also in the British Museum from the 

 same place. 



20. Ludia Qoniata^ sp. n. 



Similar to Delerjorguei, Boisd. (18-17). 



Fore wing somewhat longer at inner margin, the apex 

 rather more produced, the distal margin dentate, the brown 

 discal area in male wider than in Velegorguei, its outer edge 

 less curved in front and behind, slightly crenulate. Hind 

 wing anteriorly longer, the wing therefore larger, distal 

 margin dentate and below middle distinctly angulate; the 

 outer edge of the brown discal area also angulate, though 

 slightly.
