spots — a fine linear spot near the base, a conspicuous round black 

 spot about the middle, and a geminate black spot near the outer 

 margin, all on interval 1.

Hub. Valley of the Ogove (Good, Mocquerys). 



The very great difEerence in the coloration of this species from 

 that of other species referred by me to the genus Qorgyra, and 

 the dissimilarity between the male and female, analogous to that 

 which is found in the various species contained in the genera 

 Osmodes and Pardaleodes, have long led me to hesitate in referring 

 this species to the genus in which I have finally placed it. A 

 careful anatomical investigation made with bleached specimens 

 under the microscope has made it plain to me that there is almost 

 no structural difference. The form of the palpi, the antennje, and 

 the neuration is identical with that of the other species referred 

 to Qorgyra. The species constitutes a section of the genus 

 separate from its allies on account of the distinct coloration and 

 the diversity in facies between male and female. 



GasthooHjEta, Mab. MS., gen. nov. 



Antenn89 slender, moderately long, reaching beyond the middle 

 of the costa ; club moderate, gradually thickened, tapering to a 

 fine point, terminal portion bent, but 'not hooked. Fore wing : 

 in the male produced at apex, in the female somewhat more 

 rounded and broader ; the inner margin a little longer than the 

 outer margin. The cell two-thirds the length of the costa. 

 Vein 12 reaching the costa a little beyond the end of the cell. 



Neuration and palpi of Gastrocheeta meza, Hew. |. 



The upper end of the cell is rounded between veins 11 and 6, and 

 these veins are given forth from this rounded extremity. The 

 upper and middle discocellulars form an obtuse angle with each 

 other pointing inwardly. The middle and lower discocellulars 

 form an obtuse angle with each other poiuting outwardly. Vein 5 

 is slightly nearer vein 4 than vein 6 ; vein 3 from a little before 

 the end of the cell ; vein 2 a little beyond the middle of the cell.
