684 MR. H. DRUCE ON NEW SPECIES OF [Dec. 20, 



A pretty little species that varies considerably in colour ; some of 

 the specimens from Grahams Town are much paler than others. 



NoRAsuMA, Moore. 



NORASUMA KOLGA, U. Sp. 



Female. Primaries dark reddish brown, darkest at the base and 

 along the costal and outer margin; a white line extending from tlie 

 base along about one fourth of the costal, then crossing the wing to 

 the inner margin, a white dot at the end of the cell, and a submarginal 

 row of small white spots extending from near the apex to the inner 

 margin. Secondaries reddish brown, palest near the base. Under' 

 side pale reddish brown, with a narrow, white, submarginal line round 

 all the wings. Head and thorax brown ; collar pale brown, edged 

 with white. Abdomen and legs dark brown. 



Expanse 2 inches. 



Hab. West Africa : Cameroons {Rutherford). 



In form and neuration this species is like N.javanica, Moore, but 

 differs in its smaller size, colour, and markings. 



Fam. PsYCHiD^. 

 EuMETA, Walk. 



EUMETA CERVINA, U. Sp. 



Male. Like E. cramerii, but the primaries redder in colour, with a 

 marginal row of fine whitish spots, and a dark brown elongated patch 

 at the end of the cell. Secondaries smoky brown, with three whitish 

 dots at the apex. Head, thorax, and abdomen brown. Antennae 

 brownish black, tegulee witli white tips ; a white spot at the base of 

 the primaries ; on the underside the white marginal spots are more

This species is allied to E. cramerii, Westw., but, I think, quite
