NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM EQUATORIAL AFRICA. 183 



EUPH^DRA CHRISTYI, Sp. n. 



Similar to E. zaddachi, Dewitz, but with no crimson on the 

 hind wing. 



? . Fore wing resembling that of E. zaddachi as regards its dark 

 ground colour, but with the two ochraceous bands slightly broader. 

 Hind wing : The whole of the central area pale ochraceous yellow, with 

 a greenish tinge near the base and towards the anal angle ; the broad 

 hind margin brownish black. Under side similar to that of E. zaddachi. 

 On the hind wing a broad costal line of deep crimson extending from 

 the base to as far as the submarginal row of internervular black spots ; 

 the central area creamy yellow. Expanse, 3*2 in. 



Hab. Toro ; November-December, 1900 (H". 5. i^affra?/). 

 Dr. Christy also collected two specimens of this new species 

 at Kibero, January 11th, 1903. 



Harma marmorata, sp. n. 



Similar to H. beckeri, H.-Schaeff., the male being somewhat 

 paler in colour. The female is at once distinguished by the 

 absence of the bright yellow spot on the hind wing. 



(J . Fore wing : Central area pale creamy yellow ; apex and hind 

 margin deeper yellow ; the dark brown submarginal spots and mark- 

 ings not so strongly indicated. Hind wing : Central area creamy 

 yellow, the broad hind marginal border much lighter in colour, and 

 having a suffusion of orange-yellow ; the dark brown hastate marks 

 being strongly pronounced. The under side does not differ from that 

 of H. beckeri. Expanse, 2-7 in. 



? . Fore wing similar to that of H. becked, but with the white 

 spots on the discal area more broken up, these spots thus forming two 

 distinct rows of hastate markings, from the subcostal nervule as far as 

 the first median nervule ; the spots all tinged with greyish blue on 

 their outer edge, nearly all the white spots being outlined with this 

 colour ; the characteristic white area about the centre of the inner 

 margin being here represented by a creamy yellow patch ; the blue 

 colour at the base rather more deeply coloured than in H. beckeri. 

 Hind wing : Central area of wing creamy yellow, with less blue at the 

 base ; hind marginal border slightly broader ; the second row of white 

 spots more hastate in shape, and lined on the outer edge with blue. 

 The first row of white spots is also tinged with blue. The bright 

 yellow patch towards the anal angle is absent. Under side similar to 

 that of H. beckeri, with the same differences as on the upper side as 

 regards the discal row of spots. The hind wing has a distinct trans- 

 verse line of deep chestnut-brown from the costa to the anal angle. 

 Expanse, 3"7 in.
