126 Neiv Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



Fore wing pale ochreous brown largely suffused with rufous, 

 especially basally and postmedially, the termen conspicuously pale 

 except at apex. A black basal mark at M and black subbasal dash 

 behind costa; anteniedial line from costa at less than one-fourth, 

 strongly bent outward to SC, then slightly incurved to near middle 

 of hind margin ; the reniform represented by three blackish dots on 

 the discocellulars ; a waved medial line, proximally defined by a paler 

 area, from costa at middle to hind margin at about three-fifths, a 

 little outwardly oblique to M, then slightly incurved ; postmedial line 

 stronger, more dentate, rather more irregular, close to median line but 

 more oblique from costa SC 5 , where it is angled, then angled back to 

 close to medial line again ; four conspicuous whitish spots on costa 

 before apex ; subterminal line defined by strong diffused dark proximal 

 shade, from apex, oblique and slightly curved to behind SC 5 , then 

 erect, double to hind margin at tornus ; a black spot at termen on 

 fold ; slight terminal dots between the veins ; fringe pale ochreous- 

 brown tipped with rufous and blackened behind the tornal black spot. 



Hind wing fuscous shot with ochreous, with a waved subterminal 

 line from about R 2 to tornus and the termen (narrowly) pale ; fringe 

 pale from apex to E 2 , then greyish and tipped with rufous to fold, 

 where it becomes blackish ; traces of a discal spot and a curved medial 

 line ; terminal dots as on fore wing, with a strong black terminal 

 streak before tornus. 



Underside of both wings cinereous-brown tinged with ochreous and 

 finely irrorated with fuscous, the outer postmedial area slightly shaded 

 with fuscous ; the discal spot on fore wing not broken into three dots, 

 that on hind wing sharp and black ; a faint medial line and stronger 

 postmedial nearly parallel with margin of wings ; the subterminal line 

 on fore wing as above but starting about 2 mm. from apex and bent 

 out to SC 5 ; that on hind wing visible from costa to tornus, pale and 

 dentate ; marginal dots and fringes as above ; fore wing with some 

 broad, fuscous subterminal clouding from R 2 to the fold. 



Central Africa : Akanjaru River, Ruanda District, August, 1919. 

 (T. A. Barns.) One S . 



As in many Achaea species ( $ ) the spines on the mid-tibia are 

 entirely concealed by hair, but there can scarcely be any doubt as to 

 tornistigma belonging to this genus, with which it agrees perfectly. 

 It appears to be nearest to A. cupreitincta Hmpsn., from Uganda, 

 but is abundantly distinct.
