" White antennae Skipper " (i?. 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. 'Phuiohaees telibignata, sp. n. (Plate VI. fig. 9.) 



(J . 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 ; antennae 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 

 •^ -shaped character ; fringe white : palpi chalky white, as also the 

 front of the tibiae and tarsi of first pair of legs ; pectus blackish, 

 venter densely clothed with grey hairs, anal tufts whitish. 

 Expanse of wings 32 millim.

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 " {R. C). 



Hbtbkoobka. 



Only thirteen Moths were in the collection, one or two of which 

 had unfortunately been attacked by the larvae 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,-
