Habitat. Kedai, 1912, 16th March, 1 6 ; 10th December, ] $ . 



I identified these specimens in the B. M. as above ; there are 

 liowever, two forms of Limacodidse which have passed as " veltt- 

 iina" and are given by Hampson in Faun. Brit. Ind., Moths, i. 

 pp. 382 Lt 398, which are very different-looking insects from 

 the present form.

293. Arbelodes teteasticta Hampson. 

 Habitat. Kedai, 12th January, 1912, 1 J . 



This specimen only differs from the specimen in the B. M., 

 which is also from British East Africa, in the body being some- 

 what shorter, and the pale markings of the wings being larger.

. I am now able to give a figure of this species, which was 

 omitted from my last paper from want of space in the plate. 



Comparison of figni'e 27 with that of D, steiiij^tera liauipson, 

 P. Z, S. 1916, plate ii. fig. 31, will show how much it difleis 

 from that species both in colour and size.

This form diflfers from all the specimens of Bhodoneura in the 

 B. M. Collection in its prominent subterminal line angled to 

 outer margin at veins 4 and 2.
