266 DE. A. G. BUTLER ON LEPIDOPTEEA [Mar. 19, 



in primaries : legs brown, paler internally ; venter whitish. 

 Expanse of wings 30 millim. 



A pair, F warn bo. 



I have failed to discover any published description of this species. 



63. Hespeeia ?, sp.? 



It is impossible to fix even the generic position of this species with 

 certainty, as it has lost its palpi ; but it appears to be allied to 

 " Proteides xychus," Mabille, of which it may possibly be the male ; 

 the antennte are white above.

cJ . Smaller than the female, creamy pale straw-yellow, with 

 blackish veins and edges to the wings ; thorax blackish brown ; 

 abdomen golden yellow, becoming tawny on the margins of the 

 segments ; pectus and legs brown, venter pale yellow ; clasps 

 ochraceous brown, shining. Expanse of wings 28 millim.

Two males and one female, the latter slightly longer in wing 

 and with blacker thorax than the type ; the front of the discoidal 

 cell of the secondaries also projects slightly more prominently 

 forward in this example ; but slight variations of neuration may 

 be expected to occur in this group of Moths.

The single example of this form has the ground-colour of the 

 primaries white, thus bearing out the opinion which I have long 

 lield — that in Africa there is only one species of this genus, of 

 w'hich the synonymy would be as follows : — 



Aegina asianda.
