subapical spots and a discal series of spots placed in cells 1-5, 

 that in cell 2 being the largest. Hind wing dark olivaceous 

 brown, paler over the discal area ; three semihyaline white spots, 

 the centre of which is much the largest, near the base, and beyond 

 these an ultramedian row of distinct black spots, from the costa 

 to the anal margin. Cilia of both wings brown ; some whitish 

 scales between veins 5-7. Under side : both wings exactly as 

 above and but slightly paler. Thorax brown above, clothed with 

 yellow hairs below. Palpi brown above, thickly clothed with 

 yellow hairs below. Abdomen brown above, pale below. Legs 

 yellowish. Antennae brown. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Upper Kasai district, Congo Free State (P. Landbeck). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Distinguished at once by the semihyaline basal spots on the 

 hind wing. 



Oxypalpus nigeb, sp. n. (Plate XXXY. fig. 10, <S .) 



Male. Upper side rich dark brown. Fore wing with a small 

 patch of reddish ochreous scales towards the centre of the inner 

 margin. Hind wing with two reddish ochreous lines radiating 

 from the base towards the inner margin. Cilia of both wings dark 

 brown. U nder side, both wings : ground -colour dark brown, thickly 

 suffused with dark reddish ochraceous excepting over the cell and 

 inner margin of fore wing. Thorax clothed with ochreous hairs 

 above and below. Abdomen brown above, yellow below. Legs 

 yellow. 



Expanse l T \y inch. 



Hab. Upper Kasai district, Congo Free State (P. Landbeck). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Quite unlike any other species in the genus. 



Pardaleodes nevea, sp. n. (Plate XXXV. fig. 7, S •) 



Male. Allied to P. ligora Hew.* Upper side : fore wing dark 

 olivaceous brown with one subapical white semitransparent spot 

 only, two at the end of the cell, a series of three placed on the 

 disc in cells 1, 2, 3, that in cell 1 being very small. Cilia 

 brown. Hind wing dark olivaceous brown, with the central 

 semitransparent patch, which in P. ligora is yellow, pure white 

 and almost divided into two by a broad brown tooth projecting 

 upwards from the brown border. Cilia fuscous excepting towards 

 anal angle, where they are pure white. The under side differs from 

 that of P. ligora by the absence of the subapical pale patch on the 

 fore wing and the pale yellow shading on the white ground and 

 cilia. Abdomen pure white above and below except the anus, 

 which is dark brown. 



Expanse If inch. 



Hab. Upper Kasai district, Congo Free State (P. Landbeck). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



The apex of the fore wing is less produced in this insect th.an 

 in P. ligora, and I have no doubt it represents a distinct species.
