by a dark brown shade, running from the costa at the end of the cell to- 

 the outer margin above the outer angle. The outer margin below the 

 apex is marked by a broad lunulate brown spot; there are also some ob- 

 scure, parallel, submarginal lines within this brown mark near the apex. 

 The secondaries on the upperside are dark rosy-brown, clouded with, 

 darker brown on the margin, and with the edge very narrowly white. On 

 the underside both wings are rosy-brown, with the basal area and the cell 

 of the primaries blackish. Both wings are traversed by very narrow and 

 obscure, transverse, median, limbal, and submarginal lines. 



$ . — The female does not differ from the male, except in that the wings 

 are broader and the body heavier and shorter. Expanse: (^, 60 mm.; 

 9 , 70 mm. 



I have a series of seven specimens of this species taken at 

 Benita. 



DEWITZIA Holl. 



8. D. perpallida sp. nov., ^T. — This species is allied to D. paupercula 

 Holl., but is much smaller and much lighter in coloration. On the upper- 

 side the entire insect is pale ashen-gray, clouded with pale rosy-brown 

 upon the costa and near the base of the primaries. There is a faint trans- 

 verse basal, sub-basal, median, and geminate submarginal series of lines, 

 the submarginal series being accentuated by minute dots upon the ner- 

 vules. On the secondaries there are transverse median and geminate 

 submarginal lines, the latter accentuated as in the primaries by minute 

 blackish dots. The fringes of the primaries, are pale gray; of the secon- 

 daries whitish. On the underside both wings are pale gray; both have 

 transverse median and geminate submarginal lines, the latter as on the 

 upperside accentuated by minut'=> black dots on the nervules. Expanse 

 55 mm- 



Hab. — Benita. 



LITHOSIID.^. 

 TEGDLATA Walk. 



9. T. (?) nigristrlata sp. nov. cT.— Head, collar and upperside of thorax 

 yellowish. The tegulas have a black line in the middle near the outer 

 end, and there are two black spots on the upperside of the thorax between 

 the bases of the tegulae and a linear black mark upon the middle of the 

 thorax. The abdomen is yellow, annulated with black on the last two 

 segments on the upperside only. The underside of the thorax, abdomen, 

 and the legs are uniformly yellow. The primaries are creamy, with all 

 the interspaces between the nervules filled in with black, and a large oval 

 spot on the middle of the cell and a small black spot beyond it in the 

 secondary cell. The secondaries are pale testaceous with the base and 

 inner margin tinged with yellowish. The fringes of both wings are 

 creamy. The undersides of the wings have markings as on the upper- 

 sides, but much paler. Expanse 30 mm. 



Hab. — Kangw6, West Africa.
