Collectioiis. 



Described by 

 CHR. AURIVILLIUS. 



Read November ll:th 1914. 



By the kind mediation of Sir G. F. Hampson I have 

 received three collectiöns of rare or new African Bombycids, 

 one from the British Museum, one from the Tring Museum 

 and a third from the Hope Museum in Oxford. There were 

 many rare or little known species in these collections e. g. 

 male and female of Gonometa brotoessa Höll. and the hither- 

 to unknown male of Gonometa Sjöstedti Aur. The new forms 

 are described in this paper. A few specimens of probably 

 undescribed species were not in a condition to be described. 

 I am very obliged to Sir G. F. Hampson, the Right Ho- 

 nourable Lord Rothschild and Professor E. B. Poulton of 

 the Hope Department for the loan of the specimens.
