140 New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



grey, with a slight tinge of slate-colour ; antemedian at one-fifth, thick 

 (apparently double but confluent), somewhat dentate outward on M and 

 SM 2 ; celldot blacker, at scarcely two-fifths ; a regularly excurved line 

 shortly beyond (at rather less than one-half), duplicated distally by a 

 weaker, more macular, less defined line or shade ; a row of interneural 

 spots at nearly four-fifths, oblique outward from costa, otherwise nearly 

 parallel with termen ; thick longitudinal shades between the radials and 

 near tornus, connecting these spots with the termen, the radial shade 

 also faintly indicated proximally hereto (as far as to the median line) ; 

 blackish terminal dots at the vein-ends. 



Hind wing with termen full, or slightly bent about B^-M 1 ; M 1 just 

 separate ; markings of fore wing (except first line) continued ; celldot 

 wanting. 



Underside duller, ochreous ; the lunulate lines thinner, greyish ; the 

 dark markings nearly as above, though rather less strong. 



Tanganyika: Niragongo Volcano, Kivu, 2,800 m., Sept., 1919. 

 (T. A. Barns.) 



Entirely distinct from any African species yet known, recalling some 

 of the South American Eois {=Cambogia), e.g., snellenaria Moschl. 

 (Verh. Zool-bot. Ges. Wien. xxxi, 408, t. 17, fig. 19). 



LABENTIINAE. 



3. Xanthorhoe latissima sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 7). 



3- , 33 mm. 



Head and body dark fuscous. Face with the projecting cone rather 

 strong. Palpus about two, the second joint with rough hair-scaling 

 above and beneath, third joint moderate, partly exposed. Antennal 

 pectinations well separated, reaching nearly to the thirtieth joint, 

 nowhere very long (little over two). Tarsi pale at the ends of the 

 joints. 



Fore wing unusually broad, costa well arched in distal part, termen 

 slightly waved, at least anteriorly ; pale violet, with slight whitish 

 admixture ; basal area suffused with olive-brown, separated by a fine 

 pale line from a straightish oblique band of similar suffusion nearly 

 2 mm. in width; median band velvety black-brown, very broad (6 mm. 

 at costa, just over 3 mm. at hind margin), bordered by rather fine 

 whitish lines ; the antemedian oblique outward, with a small V-shaped 

 indentation subcostally and minute indentations on M and SM 2 ; the 

 postmedian slightly sinuous subcostally, markedly oblique outward in
