1909.] FROM TROPICAL WEST AFRICA. 41} 
GORGYRA AFIKPO, sp.u. (Plate LXVII. fig. 6.) 
Male. Allied to G, abure Plotz*. Upper side: ground-colour. 
blackish brown with whitish hyaline spots. Fore wing: a 
subapical series of three minute dots, the innermost placed 
further inwards, an elongated spot in the cell near the end, and 
a smaller, more circular spot above it. A series of four discal 
spots placed between the nervules nearest their origins, the 
lower one resting on the submedian nervure about its middle. 
Hind wing with a large ¥-shaped spot in the cell and two large 
spots rather beyond the centre of the disc divided by the lower 
median nervule. The patch of hairs on vein 16 is grey. 
Under side: hyaline spots as above; fore wing with the apex 
and outer margins washed with greyish. Hind wing grey, with 
black spots arranged as in G. abure but much larger. Thorax 
and abdomen concolorous with wings. Palpi pale straw-colour 
below, black above, terminal joint black. Legs brown; fore 
coxe clothed with thick straw-colour hairs. Antenne black. 
Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Afikpo, N. Nigeria (Reddick). 
Unlike G. abure this insect bears but one pair of spurs on the 
hind tibiz. In general appearance it seems to be much like 
some species of the genus Gastrocheta Holland, viz. G. mabillei 
Holland? and G. cybeutes Holland, but the palpi prove it to 
belong to Gorgyra. 
I have shown this insect to M. Mabille, who states it is quite 
unknown to him. 
PARNARA NOCTULA, sp.n. (Plate LXVII. fig. 7.) 
Male. Upper side: both wings unicolorous dark bronze-brown 
without markings. Cilia concolorous with wings. Under side as 
above. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown; after part of 
thorax and base of abdomen clothed with dark green hairs. 
Legs dark brown. Palpi thickly clothed with black and white 
hairs. Antenne black, tips chestnut-brown. 
Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Bitje, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 feet (G. Z. Bates). 
Dry season. 
The total absence of markings should distinguish this from all 
other described species of Parnara. 
PARNARA PALOCAMPTA, sp.n. (Plate LX VIL. fig. 8.) 
Female. Upper side: both wings uniform dark brown without 
markings. Cilia of fore wing concolorous with wings; cilia of 
hind wing from apex to anal angle whitish. Under side as 
above. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs blackish brown.
