just beyond their extremities. The primaries have a bright subtriangular 

 moon spot near the middle of the cell and a similar small oval spot on 

 the costa near the apex. The maroon markings, which define the hyaline 

 spot on the upper surface, reappear on the under surface. In addition, 

 the lovverside of the wings is very profusely marked, esjiecially upon the 

 costa of the secondaries, with small maroon spots and striae. Expanse 

 80 mm. 



20. 6. vestigiata sp. nov. ^f. — Front dark brown; collar white; upper- 

 side of thora.x and abdomen pale cinereous; pectus rosy; lowerside of 

 abdomen dark brown. 



Upperside; primaries dark cinereous, shading into pale cinereous about 

 the base and near the apex. There are four minute hyaline spots, two 

 just beyond the end of the cell, and two just within the end of the cell, 

 very minute, and near each other. There are also one or two minute 

 hyaline spots near the apex below the costa. The two minute hyaline 

 spots at the end of the cell are surrounded by pale luteous and the two 

 larger spots beyond the end of the cell are likewise thus surrounded, and 

 between these two luteous spots projecting outwardly, there is a hastate 

 luteous mark. The whole arrangement of these spots strongly resembles 

 the footprint of an animal in miniature. Beyond these markings there 

 is a crenulate limbal line running from the costa before the apex to the 

 inner margin, two-thirds of the distance from the base, defined inwardly 

 and outwardly by pale cinereous. There are also some obscure marginal 

 lines. The secondaries are somewhat paler than the primaries, and at 

 the end of the cell, there are three hyaline marks, the innermost of which 

 are the largest, and they are surrounded as the hyaline spots upon the 

 primaries by luteous areas. The limbal and marginal markings of the 

 primaries are continued upon the secondaries. 



Underside: the wings are darker with the yellowish markings surround- 

 ing the hyaline spots and the limbal lines more clearly defined. Expanse 

 70 mm. 



The genus Goodia, which I take pleasure in naming after my 

 excellent friend, who has done much to elucidate the natural 

 history of West Africa, is referred to the Arepanulidae, with slight 

 hesitancy, though the neuration and form of the wings is char- 

 acteristically drepanulid. The antennae in their form suggest a 

 relationship to the genus Copaxa among the Saturnidae. 



The typical species of the genus is in the collection of Mr. 

 Herbert Druce, of London, as well as in my own.

21. T. erosa sp. nov. ^f . — Antennae moderately long, heavily pectinated; 

 front brown; thorax and abdomen fawn. 



Upperside: primaries lilacine-gray with some obscure brown markings 

 on the costa, an obscure transverse median and transverse limbal brown 

 line; the outer margin sharply produced between the second and third
