metallic emerald-greeu streak ; an oblique cuneiform trifid green- 

 glossed hyaline-white spot across the middle, two large patches 

 almost filling the interno-median and the abdominal areoles, and a 

 minute spot near outer margin on the second median interspace ; 

 thorax blue-black, frons and vertex of head metalhc emerald-green ; 

 collar above with two large spots of metallic golden green, a tri- 

 angular dorsal spot of the same colour ; posterior half of patagia 

 metallic fiery copper ; metathorax and the two basal segments of 

 abdomen metallic golden green : the two following segments deep 

 brick-red edged with black ; remaining segments blue-black, banded 

 in front with metallic emerald-green ; primaries below purplish 

 towards the base, otherwise nearly as above; secondaries with a 

 broad metallic-green costal stripe from base to apex ; pectus bronze- 

 brown sprinkled with metallic-green scales ; legs blackish brown, 

 the cox£e of the first pair and the tibiae of the other pairs with a 

 large white spot ; venter blue-black, with two unequal central white 

 spots. Expanse of wings 32-41 millim. 



Slopes of Kilima-njaro {F. J. Jackson and Bishop Hannington). 



The examples collected by Bishop Hannington are smaller and 

 have the markings on their wings smaller and narrower than in the 

 type collected by Mr. Jackson. 



LlTHOSIID^. 



12. Lepista limbata. 



Near to L. pandula, Boisd. {Di/phlebia frimenii, Feld.) ; larger, 

 of a deeper orange-ochreous colour : the black border wider, that of 

 primaries occupying two fifths instead of less than one third of the 

 external area, its inner edge more oblique, that of secondaries about 

 one third wider. Expanse of wings 24 millim. 



Kilima-njaro {F. J. Jackson). 



We have L. pandula from Delagoa Bay. 



Two interesting species of ChalcosiidcB collected by Mr. Jackson 

 have been separately described. Of the Liparidce one species, Aroa 

 discalis. Walk., is in the collection ; hitherto we have only received 

 it from the Cape and Natal. Amongst the Noctuites Eurhipia 

 bowkeri and Asymhata roseiventris, or species scarcely distinguishable 

 from the latter, were obtained, as also the handsome but common 

 Hypopyra capensis.
