New African Lppidoptcra. 215 



broad creamy band from costal nervure to just below 

 second median branch, where it becomes obsolete, but is 

 represented by a greyish nebula on centre of first median 

 branch and reappears as a creamy ochraceous patch on 

 inner margin; secondaries with the base greyish ochraceous, 

 black-spotted ; a central diffused creamy band from costa 

 to inner margin, which is ochreous ; body, thorax black, 

 white-spotted ; abdomen ochreous with black dorsal line ; 

 wings below paler, bands white instead of creamy;

A species quite distinct from P. Euryta and evidently 

 mimicking Planema Umbra of Drury ; there is another 

 form, figured by Mr. Hewitson (pi. iii., fig. 8), and which is 

 so evidently a mimic of my P. Elongata ? ., that I cannot 

 resist naming it P. Metajplanema, n. sp.
