121. Baobis aueitincxus, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 2.) 



Form of B.fatuellus, primaries with exactly similar transparent 

 white spots ; an elliptical patch below the median vein and the 

 commencement of its first branch, a small spot above the submedian 

 vein (representing the white spot frequently present in B.faiueUus), 

 and a pilose internal streak bronzy ochraceous, the whole wing- 

 surface also glossed with golden bronze : secondaries more distinctly 

 glossed with golden, the long hair clothing the discoidal and 

 internal areas to the centre of the disc being bronzj' ochraceous ; 

 two unequal subapical transparent yellowish spots placed obliquely; 

 fringes of all the wings smoky brown, tipped \^ith bone-white 

 excepting towards apex of primaries. Body of the ordinary type, 

 blackish with bronzy green reflections on head and thorax and 

 golden cupreous reflections on abdomen ; a shoulder-spot and a 

 spot on each side of the head, close to the eyes, ochreous ; antennae 

 bronze tipped w^ith purplish black. Under surface brownish grey, 

 densely irrorated with ochraceous excepting on the internal areas : 

 otherwise very like B. fatuellus. Expanse of wings 34 millim.

I quite agree with Dr. Holland that this species differs from 

 typical Ceratrichia in its shorter antennae, &c., but I do not like it a 

 bit better in C)jclopides (which it is not half so much like in pattern). 

 As Dr. Holland has not proposed a new generic location for it, I 

 prefer, for thj present, to let the species i-est where M. Mabille 

 placed it.

The Moths in the collection are not in such good condition as 

 the Butterflies, but most of them are recognizable ; some are of 

 great beauty and quite new to the Museum collection ; others we 

 had pre\iously only received from South Africa or from the 

 West coast. As might be exijected, not a few are new to science. 

 The following is as complete an account of them as could be made.
