New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 141 



anterior half, forming a rounded lobe not far from termen at and 

 behind E 3 , then bending suddenly inward, so as to reduce the band to 

 about half its width ; subterminal not very strong, consisting of fine 

 whitish lunules, filled in proximally by ill-defined brown spots ; a very 

 much larger spot at costa reaching nearly to the postmedian ; distal 

 area feebly dark-shaded ; terminal line not very strong, slightly inter- 

 rupted at the veins and folds ; more brownish, with fine weak pale 

 lines at base and beyond middle. 



Hind wing ample ; apex well rounded, termen straighter before and 

 behind than at K 3 ; dark-grey with very slight whitish irroration ; 

 costal area more white-mixed ; a black celldot ; a double, fine whitish 

 postmedian line continuing that of fore wing, fairly straight to K 3 or 

 M 1 rather near termen, here strongly bent, near abdominal margin 

 slightly incurved ; faint traces of other lines ; terminal line finer than 

 on forewing ; fringe similar. 



Fore wing beneath duller ; median band greyish, not sharply- 

 defined, especially proximally, but containing distinct beginnings of 

 dark lines costally ; postmedian double pale line fairly strong ; sub- 

 terminal well defined, at least anteriorly, where the lunules are con- 

 fluent ; termen and fringe as above. Hind wing beneath with more 

 of a red-brown tinge than above, rippled as far as the postmedian 

 with feeble lines ; celldot, postmedian and subterminal lines developed. 



" Central Africa," without more exact locality. (T. A. Barns.) 



4. Larentia barnsi sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 5). 



$ , 31-34 mm. 



Closely like heteromorpha Hmpsn. (Tr. Zool. Soc. xix. (2) 128), 

 apparently identical in structure, possibly a colour-form of it, but 

 constant. Both wings deep ochreous, only the hind wing above slightly 

 paler ochreous. Fore wing above with the markings on an average 

 darker than in heteromorpha, generally strongly expressed, the edgings 

 near the median band pale, the small V-shaped subterminal spots also 

 pale, often in part whitish. Hind wing above almost unicolorous, with 

 the markings of underside feebly showing through ; a fairly distinct 

 celldot sometimes present. Both wings beneath rather strongly 

 marked, the postmedian line of the hind wing perhaps less acutely 

 angulated on R 3 than in heteromorpha. 



Ruwenzori (W. side) at 4,000 m. (one at 3,900), flying by day, 

 Christmas, 1919, the type labelled as feeding at giant lobelias, 7 <J $
