38 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN {Jan. 14, 
The secondaries are suboval, with the outer margin evenly rounded. 
The costal and inner margins are straight between the angles. 
The cell is long, reaching a little beyond the middle of the wing. 
Vein 7 before the end of the cell, twice as far from 6 as 8; disco- 
cellulars faint, erect; vein 5 present, equidistant from veins 4 and 
6; vein 3 before the end of the cell; vein 2 twice as far from 
the base as from the end of the cell; veins 1@ and 1 3 straight. 
Between veins 1 a and 16 ‘there is a narrow fold heavily clothed 
with long tufts of hair-like scales. Interval 1 is likewise clothed 
heavily with long scales. Pualpi: first joint short, second joint 
long, both heavily clothed with scales; second joint erect, rising 
to the top of the vertex; third joint short, obtuse, slightly porrect, 
clothed with fine minute closely appressed hairs. 
Type G. mabillei, Holl. 
Mons. Mabille has designated a number of species by the 
generic name Gastrocheta in his own collection and in the col- 
lection of. Dr. Staudinger, as well as in my own collection. I 
discover, however, that he has nowhere published an account of 
this genus. In the ‘Entomological News,’ vol. vy. p. 28, I pub- 
lished a species under this name as Gastrocheta mabillei. As this 
was the first time that the name appears to have been published, the 
species to which I have applied it must stand as the type of the 
genus. In many respects there is a superficial resemblance 
between the species included in this genus and those included in 
the genus Gorgyra, some of the species of which Mons. Mabille 
has labelled in the Staudinger collection as belonging to that 
genus. An examination of the palpi and the neuration, however, 
instantly reveals the difference.

Gastrocheta varia, Mab. MS., in Staudinger coll. 
Hab. Tropical West Africa, from Angola (Hew.) to Togoland 
(Karsch). Very abundant at Gaboon. 
This species was originally determined for me by Mons. Mabille 
as Gastrocheta varia, Mab., upon comparison with specimens 
so labelled in his collection and that of Dr. Staudinger, but I 
cannot find that he has ever published a description under this 
name.
