326 Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker on new 
that the transverse stripes of the under surface show through. 
Underside: primaries with a narrow stripe of brown along 
the upper margin of the cell, beyond which is a short, curved, 
pale brown stripe from the costa to near the base of the fifth 
median nerve; rising just beyond this on the costa is another 
transverse, curved, brown stripe, ending above the third 
median nerve near the posterior margin; both these curved 
stripes are a little indefinite interiorly; beyond the latter 
stripe is a sharply defined, darkish brown, scalloped, narrow, 
submarginal stripe, following nearly the same course, but 
ending below it on the second median nerve; beyond this is 
a marginal stripe parallel with it, but interrupted by the 
veins. Secondaries with six transverse brown lines, four of 
which extend from the submedian vein to the costa, the first 
three parallel with each other and the second three with each 
other, followed by a curved, scalloped, submarginal stripe 
from the apex to the anal angle, parallel with the fine dark 
line on the posterior margin ; the third of the basal transverse 
lines does not extend to the costa, but ends near the upper 
margin of the cell, whilst the third of the second series ends 
on the fourth median vein; fringes white, intersected by a 
brown line; palpi yellow. Antenne black, ringed with white 
and tipped with yellow; legs yellow, ringed with black; 
thorax and abdomen white. 
Exp. alar. 34 millim, 
This species may possibly prove to be a local race of 
Ferrymant, Grose-Smith, but it could be separated at a glance. 
Both wings are very much narrower; the primaries of my 
species also have scarcely any black on the costa, whilst 
ferrymant has it extending well over more than half the cell 
and beyond it; whilst the black posterior margin of Grose- 
Smith’s species extends more than three-quarters its length, 
but in my species not more than halfway down. ‘The under- 
side differs likewise. In the primaries the black patch in 
the cell by the costa and the marked black curved fascia is 
replaced in my insect by a slight brown streak and an indefi- 
nite pale brown slight fascia. In the secondaries the trans- 
verse brown lines are not half the width of those in “Ferry- 
mant,” and none of them are joined together, whilst in 
Mr. Grose-Smith’s insect all the stripes are connected by the 
costa, and they are also very dark and quite different in colour 
to the pale brown of sepitstrigata. 
This species is not common, but cannot be called rare, in 
Sierra Leone in February and in June and July. Specimens 
are in both Mr. Cator’s collection and my own, the type being 
in Mr. Cator’s, .
