Maungu Inlmbwa, 21st March, 1897. 



Eogenbofer describes his insect as having the abdomen and 

 secondaries yellow ; in Mr. Betton's specimens they are carmine. 

 Either the type was a faded specimen or one of those orange- 

 yellow variations common among the crimson-winged Zygcenidce. 

 The species is quite new to us.

New to the collection from East Africa, 



221. Patissa sp. 



Close to P. fulvosparsa, but without the ochreous markings ; it 

 has lost both labial palpi and fringes, and may even be a very 

 worn example of the Asiatic species : therefore I hesitate about 

 giving it a name.

222. Macalla sp. 



Maungu Inkubwa, 3rd April, 1897. 



One shattered female was obtained, but, even if perfect, it would 

 not be satisfactory to describe it without seeing the male, the 

 antennal characters of that sex often diffei'ing in species of the 

 same genus. 



223. Lepidogma sp. 



Taru, 24th November, 1896. 



One slightly damaged female ; it was enclosed in the same 

 envelope with a much worn and quite unrecognizable Noctuid 

 (apparently a Metaclirostis). It is of no use to describe this 

 species without its male ; it and the preceding are both new to 

 the Museum series, and will probably be of service when the 

 other sex comes to hand. 



224. ZiTHA TAEiANS, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 8, 9.) 



Primaries vinaeeous grey-brown or bi'ight chestnut, with or 

 without marginal dusky dots ; a broad central belt, eitlier more 

 dusky or scarcely differing in tint from the ground-colour, but 

 margined on both sides by more or less dentate-sinuate whitish 

 stripes diverging on costal margin ; the inner stripe more or less 

 strongly inanguiated below median vein, the outer stripe zigzag;
