3. Diodosida roseipennis, sp. n. 
_ Primaries above pale greyish green, with a minute black 
dot on the lower discocellular, followed (on the lower radial 
interspace) by an elongate pyriform purplish-brown dash; 
two oblique indistinct parallel lines slightly darker than the 
ground-colour, followed by a third more distinct line dotted 
with black and united by a short oblique dusky dash to the 
apex ; fringe rosy: secondaries greyish, crossed beyond the 
middle by a rather broad rosy reddish band; external border 
darker grey: body greyish green; scales white below the 
surface ; a yellowish longitudinal stripe on the tegule; an- 
tenne pinky white. Wings below dull lurid red, sparsely 
striated with grey, external borders grey ; an externo-discal

Not very close to any described species, nearer to D. murina 
than to any thing else. 
4. Cherocampa Montetronis, sp. nu. 
Allied to C. celeno of Natal; differing, however, in its 
inferior size and more uniformly greyish coloration: the pri- 
maries with the central oblique band narrower and not so 
dark ; the whitish band more sinuous towards apex ; the dark 
stripe along its outer edge reduced to a mere line and followed 
by a less distinctly white line; the tapering band which fol- 
lows this greyish, not dark brown, and the grey external bor- 
der not infuscated: secondaries smoky brown, with a single 
narrow abbreviated submarginal ochreous line upon the anal 
area of the wing (in place of the broad band, intersected by a 
dusky line, found in C. celeno) : body with the inner margins 
of the tegule yellowish instead of white; the lateral abdo- 
minal stripes not undulated internally, more distinctly defined ; 
the dorsal double stripe grey instead of silvery whitish. Ex- 
panse of wings 56 millim.

5. Darapsa rose, sp. n. 
Primaries above silver-grey, slightly clouded with brownish 
beyond the cell; a large triangular patch on internal area, 
white internally, otherwise pale buff, transversely striated 
throughout with blackish and traversed by a conspicuous 
abbreviated black bar; a whitish-edged black spot at the end 
of the cell; a dusky spot near the base of the cell, a second
