Described from Aden ; distributed as far as British East 

 Africa. As the male hind tibia has all spurs present, the 

 species must be removed to Traminda.

The male and two females (22 Feb. and 10 May) belong to the 

 plain green form with the oblique red line almost entirely 

 obsolete ; the other four females have the line distinct, the 

 ground-colour showing the three gradations well known in this 

 group (green, green irrorated with rufous, rufeseent). Doubt- 

 fully distinct generically from Traminda. Widely distributed 

 in Eastern Africa. 



ACIDALIA MINOA, Sp.. n. (PL II. fig. 20, $ >) 



5 , 20 mm. Unfortunately (like so many of the species) 

 without the male, but showing sufiicient peculiarities to render 

 it safe to describe it. Absolutely without markings, very glossy, 

 otherwise bearing a good deal of superficial resemblance to a worn 

 female of Minoa mv,rinata Scop., though with narrower wings ; 

 similarly coloured; the fore wing beneath with a smoky sufiusion, 

 which is also slightly indicated on the upper surface at certain 

 angles of light. Head and body slightly more ochreous than 

 wings, the face and jaalpus sharing this colour, not — as in the 

 majority of Acidalia — black or fuscofis. Abdomen i-ather robust. 

 "Venation i-ather variable, SC^ of fore wing arising from just 

 before apex of areole or well stalked with the other subcostals ; 

 C of hind wing not ra.pidly diverging from SO, sometimes anas- 

 tomosing at slightly more than a point ; SC" in two of the 

 examples extremely shortly stalked with Pt\ Ternien of hind 

 wino- not at all bent in middle.
