64 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN (Jan. 14, 
position, and below and beyond the cell two discal spots, subquadrate 
in form, on either side of vein 3 near its origin. The lower of these 
spots is the larger. They are both translucent and waxy yellow in 
colour. There are two small obscure semi-transparent spots of like 
colour on the secondaries on either side of vein 3 a little beyond its 
origin. The margin is slightly darker brown than the body of the 
wing, and the fringes are paler. On the underside the wings are 
uniformly pale reddish ochraceous, except the inner margin of the 
primaries, which is darker, inclining to plumbeous. The spots of 
the upper surface reappear on the lower side, but far less distinctly 
defined. Expanse 30 mm. 
Hub. Valley of the Ogové. 
This very distinct species is represented in my collection by a 
single specimen.

3. This insect is obscurely brown all over, without any spots 
or markings whatever. 
Q. The female is coloured like the male, but has three elongated 
subapical spots in the usual position, and two obscure translucent 
spots on either side of vein 3 of the primaries a little before its 
origin. The spots are subquadrate. 
Expanse, ¢ 26 mm., 2? 30 mm. 
Hab. East Africa. 
The types of the males are found in my collection and in the 
collection of Dr. Staudinger. The only female I have ever seen is 
contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger. I refer this insect 
with some measure of doubt to the genus Parnara, with which it 
in the main agrees in neuration as far as I have been able to 
ascertain. The insect, however, is not so robust as the other 
species referred to this genus. The primaries are more rounded 
on the outer margin and the secondaries somewhat more excavated 
before the anal angle, in the case of the female. I cannot, 
however, with the material before me, venture to separate this 
species from the genus Parnara. 
SEMALBA, gen. nov. 
Antenne and palpi as in the genus Baoris. Primaries: cell 
about half the length of the wing; vein 5 much nearer 4 than 6; 
vein 12 terminating on the costa before the end of the cell; vein 
7 slightly before the end of the cell; vein 2 one-third of the 
distance from the base ; vein 3 a little before the end of the cell. 
Secondaries: cell short; vein 5 wanting; discocellulars faint, 
erect ; vein 7 originating well before the end of the cell; vein 3 
a little before the end of the cell ; vein 2 originating beyond the 
middle of the cell; the outer margin evenly rounded; the -costa 
slightly produced before the base. The two species referred to 
this genus are characterized by peculiar sexual markings. In the 
case of the male of S. pulvina, Ploetz, the type of the genus, there
