(lark browi) sH/jma, below which a small quadrate brownish 

 bhjtcli descends to third vein ; light mark beyond stigma 

 also conspicuous, roughly circular, with small dark centre ; 

 apical sinuous light mark from tip of second longitudinal 

 vein to lov\er branch of third distinct, as also mark in second 

 submarginal cell, between former and rosette round fork of 

 third vein ; usual three rosettes distinct, though broken up 

 as stated above ; hind margin of wing with large light 

 blotches in distal angles of first, second, third, and fifth 

 posterior cells and axillary cell ; usual oblique markings 

 across posterior cells in form of more or less detached spots ; 

 discal cell with a small light spot in or near proximal and 

 distal angles, a transverse light mark at end of basal third, 

 and a second transverse light mark (broken up into two spots 

 in typical specimen) at commencement of distal third; light 

 marking in apex of each basal cell in form (.f an imperlect 

 loop, and each of these cells with usual transverse mark 

 before middle ; an incomplete double loop at commencement 

 of distal third of anal cell; markings in axillary cell of 

 usual type, but ineomi)lcte. IJalteres cream-coloured, knob 

 seal-brown at base above and below. Legs : front tibiae 

 slightly incrassated; hind femora with some silvery hairs on 

 distal half of upper side ; hind tibiae with a faint indication

Hiematoputa cruenta is not closely allied to any other 

 African species at present known to me; although agreeing 

 with H. decora, Walk., in the markings of the tibiic, it is 

 easily distinguishable from that species by, inter alia, the 

 shape of the frontal callus, the short and non-swollen first 

 joint of the antenme, the facial markings, and the marking 

 of the dorsum of the thorax.
