“ White antenne Skipper” (2. C.). One specimen collected 
by Mr. William Murray of the Livingstone Mission. 
This is the species of which we received a damaged example 
from Fwambo (see P. Z. S. 1895, p. 266. n. 63). M. Mabille says 
that his specimen is a male; and, although this may be an error, 
the number and character of the spots in the present species differ 
considerably and are evidently tolerably constant: the sexes 
rarely show so marked a difference in this group. 
104, PERICHARES TELISIGNATA, sp. nu. (Plate VI. fig. 9.) 
¢. Purplish black; primaries with markings nearly as in the 
preceding species, but the discoidal spots united into one and only 
separated from the two median spots by the veins; they thus form 
a single hyaline patch as in Coladenia dan; the subapical spots also 
form a short transverse trifid bar, and the yellow spot near inner 
margin is slightly paler; the secondaries are small, without 
markings, with greenish hairs at base and white fringe; body 
blackish brown in front, but the thorax and abdomen densely 
covered with grey-greenish hair; antenne pure white, with black 
terminal hook. Primaries below dull black; the costal border, 
which expands into a broad subapical patch, fiery copper-brown, 
internal area grey, with a large central diffused dull white patch ; 
external border to below second median branch rosy brown; 
hyaline spots as above: secondaries fiery copper-brown, purplish 
black on internal area; an indistinct blackish discal bar, parallel 
to outer margin; wing crossed by a clear sharply defined white 
Y -shaped character; fringe white: palpi chalky white, as also the 
front of the tibie and tarsi of first pair of legs ; pectus blackish, 
venter densely clothed with grey hairs, anal tufts whitish. 
Expanse of wings 32 millim. 
Kantorongondo Mt., Nyika, 5900 feet, April 15th, 1895. 
This is so distinctly marked a species that, if properly described, 
I could hardly have failed to identify it.

“Great black, white, and orange Skipper ” (2. C.). 
H2TEROCERA. 
Only thirteen Moths were in the collection, one or two of which 
had unfortunately been attacked by the larve of a Micro- 
Lepidopteron, which were discovered still at work after the 
specimens had been mounted: all the species nevertheless are 
sufficiently well-preserved for determination,
