462 On some African and Australian Lepidcyptera. 



bright oclireous spot : the band across the base of the abdo- 

 men reddish. Expanse of wings 2 inches 5 lines. 



Lake Nyassa. Type, B.M. 



A very beautiful and distinct species, reminding one of 

 Eusemia superha. 



8. Anaphe amhrizia^ n. sp. 



$ . Allied to A. reticulata, but considerably smaller, the 

 primaries narrower, silky white, the bands comparatively 

 broader and darker, the two streaks from the outer margin 

 much more convergent, leaving a very small spot of the 

 ground-colour between them at their internal extremities ; 

 secondaries paler, silky stramineous ; thorax (like the bands 

 of primaries) chocolate-brown ; head tawny with blackish 

 vertex ; tegulae pale yellow ; abdomen pale ochreous, with 

 the hind margins of the segments dark brown. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 5 lines. 



Ambriz (Monteiro). Type, B.M. 



Readily distinguished from A. reticulata and A. panda 

 (which is probably only a variety of the same) by its smaller 

 size, darker markings, and differently coloured body. A. 

 reticulata is well figured by Herrich-Schaffer under the name 

 of Ai'ctiomorpha euprepiceformis. 



The genus A naphe seems to be best placed between Marana 

 (to which several species described under the generic name of 

 Tear a are referable) and Numenes. 



9.^ Saturnia flavida, n. sp. 



Allied to 8. apollonia, with the same general character of 

 markings, but the ground-colour of the wings sulphur-yellow, 

 the two lines indicating the limits of the central band wide 

 apart throughout their entire length, the ocelli of the prima- 

 ries smaller and therefore agreeing better in size with those of 

 the secondaries, the outer border of a more rosy tint, with the 

 pink and white submarginal band of oval spots better defined, 

 the inner transverse line of secondaries well defined, the body 

 (especially of the female) darker and of a more decidedly tes- 

 taceous colour. Expanse of wings d" 3 inches, $ 3 inches 

 1 line. 



Zambesi. Type, B.M. 



This is decidedly the most atti'active species yet described ; 

 it is smaller and altogether more brilliantly coloured than S. 

 apollonia : the male example has a curious modification of 

 the left primary, the outer line of the central band being 

 deeply excavated near the costa, so as to make room for a 

 semicircular, red-bordered, pink spot.
