German East-Africa: Kilimandjaro. — Collectio Roth- 



SCHILD. 



Easily known by the ground colour and the strongly 

 curved discal line on the under side of hind wing. In mark- 

 ings of upperside nearly agreeing with Ph. rosae. 



Odontog"ama nov. gen. 



Agrees in venation and other characters completely with 

 Taragama and differs only by the termen of both wings being 

 dentate and the termen of före wing being emarginate between 

 vein 2 and 5. The genus is also nearly allied to Ocinaropsis, 

 which, however, differs by hairy eyes.
