Betsileo country, Madagascar.

 Ecpantheria. 



Oogane ochrea, n. sp. 



Primaries above bright ochreous^ the fringe sericeous ; se- 

 condaries rather paler than the primaries, sericeous all over : 

 body ochreous, the thorax paler than the head, collar, and 

 abdomen ; anal tuft greyish brown : under surface ochreous, 

 sericeous, uniform in tint. Expanse of wings 2 inches. 



Madagascar. 



This species, from the similarity of its general coloration, 

 reminds one of the ^^Aganais insularis " of Boisduval. 



The genus Oogane is nearly allied to Choirotriche, and con- 

 tains, besides the above, G. atrosquama of Walker and G. 

 glandulosa of Felder. 



Anaphe venata, n. sp. 



Wings cream-coloured : primaries with the veins, margins, 

 and a central belt bright chocolate-coloured ; secondaries with 

 the apical fringe slightly brownish, bright chocolate dots at 

 the ends of the veins : head, inner fringe of tegulas, and thorax 

 red-brown, collar and outer border of tegul^e cream-coloured ; 

 abdomen pale red-brown, the segments whitish in front ; an- 

 tennae black : under surface with the markings less distinct 

 than above. Expanse of wings 2 inches 3 lines. 



Old Calabar. 



Readily distinguished from the described species by the 

 single red-brown belt and the red-brown veins of the prima- 

 ries. In A. reticidata^ A. panda, and A. amhrizia there are 

 two belts and two longitudinal streaks (limiting the median 

 interspaces), and the brown borders are much wider than in 

 A. venala.
